In a playful response to Paris Olympics men's basketball final, McDonald's France hinted at ditching its “Classic Curry” dipping sauce after Steph Curry's incredible performance led Team USA to a 98-87 victory over France in the gold medal game. Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, scored 24 points, including four critical three-pointers in the final minutes.
His performance inspired McDonald's France to post on Instagram that it might ditch the curry sauce. The post, a nod to of Curry insight, quickly went viral, reflecting the bitter loss for the host nation. Translated it reads: “For obvious reasons, we are considering removing this sauce.” The headline continued, “for at least four years.”
This joke was received quite well, gathering more than 34 thousand likes in just two days. Despite the mood, the loss was a tough one for the French team, which missed out on a second straight gold medal after also losing to the USA in the Tokyo 2021 final. Curry's stellar performance solidified Team USA's fifth consecutive gold medal in men's basketball and underscored his status as one of the game's all-time greats.
