21 September 2015 may see two of the world’s most famous rivals unite, for one day and one day only, all in aid of Peace Day. Burger King has proposed a ceasefire to the ‘burger wars’ and called to ‘end the beef, with beef” by collaborating with McDonald’s. The plan is to combine the Big Mac and Whopper to create the 12-part McWhopper which will be cooked together, in one location for one day and all proceedings will benefit the charitable organisation behind Peace Day, Peace One Day. McDonald’s is yet to 100% confirm its participation, but all eyes are on the fast-food restaurant to see if the dream will become a reality.

Users simply upload their best holiday snap to Instagram using the hashtag #WingItYeah for the chance to take part!
