16. McAfrika
The McAfrika was one of McDonald's biggest failures of all time. The McAfrika was released in Norway and Denmark in August 2002, during one of Africa's most intense famines. As a result, the product did not go over well with the public. "We have nothing against McDonald's but the timing of this is insensitive," Gunstein Instesjord, a senior policy advisor at Norwegian Church Aid, told The Guardian. The company tried to apologize, offering to set up donation boxes in McDonald's that sold the McAfrika to help those starving in Africa. However, the corporation still let the sandwich run its intended course.
