Social media has been abuzz with memes since US President Donald Trump's 'Nuclear Button' tweet to North Korea on Tuesday.

In his tweet, Trump had said:

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

One brand that was quick to pick up the idea and post a real-time advertisement was fast-food chain KFC, which used the opportunity to take a dig at rival McDonald's.

The Twitter handle of KFC UK & Ireland said: 
 

McDonald’s leader Ronald just stated he has a “burger on his desk at all times”. Will someone from his big shoed, red nosed regime inform him that I too have a burger on my desk, but mine is a box meal which is bigger and more powerful than his, and mine has gravy! #nuclearbutton
