Tweeting with the handle @Mc_DonaldsHK, it managed to get by passing off as the real thing at first glance.
It first started tweeting in late-2016, with fairly innocuous tweets promoting different food items.
The account was not verified but was believed by many to be an official account, because it had been tagged by McDonald's verified account.

One of the creators of the account, @xxmisogi, told Mashable that this was not the first parody account that he had set up.
But after realising that the official McDonald's account had tagged them, @xxmisogi said they "realised they put us in more power than they wanted to with this mistake, we just wanted to make stupid crude jokes."
They then decided to make the most of the situation.
"We all brainstormed for tweets, and I was honestly amazed to see so many people thinking it was real, and many people were DM-ing us asking if we were ok," he said.
But McDonalds quickly stepped in after finding out about the account and it was soon suspended, despite the fact that the group had changed their twitter handle to @NotMcDonaldsHK.

A new account under the name @McDonaldsHongK took to Twitter on Monday to tweet the exactly same thing.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Really?
@xxmisogi confirmed to Mashable that he and his friends were not behind the new parody account.
"After we got suspended, we decided to leave it alone because it was already dead to us."
UPDATE: Aug. 2, 2017, 1:40 p.m. SGT Mashable had earlier identified the creators of a new parody account as the same people behind the original @Mc_DonaldsHK account.
