It is always a good sign when rival companies try to get a fries out of one another.
A McDonald’s restaurant in Marshfield, Missouri, started the bickering in mid-July, posting a message on its restaurant sign asking the nearby Dairy Queen whether the fast food restaurant was open to a “sign war.” Dairy Queen responded with its own message, claiming it would but that it is “2 busy makin ice cream,” a dig at how ice cream machines at McDonald’s restaurants always seem to be broken, according to USA Today.
“Wow, salty like our world famous fries,” one of McDonald’s signs read in response to Dairy Queen, according to the restaurant’s Facebook page.

The two restaurants have been grilling each other back and forth for roughly a week, with the local Wendy’s joining in to roast both with a sign reading, “HOT AND CRISPY FRIES DONT ARCH,” a joke aimed at the Golden Arches. Other businesses posted signage choosing sides in the “sign war,” with Gault & Co. Realty’s sign reading, “Sign war? We’re just here for the show.”
Marshfield Mayor Natalie McNish has shared her approval of the roasts between the two restaurants, saying she enjoys watching the communitywide participation, which has benefited small businesses.
“It’s important for a community our size because there are citizens within our community who are entrepreneurial, and they need our support, now more than ever,” McNish said.

The Dairy Queen is also asking its customers to provide suggestions on what jokes to write on its sign in its fight with McDonald’s, according to the restaurant’s social media account.
