Recently, a photo circulating on Facebook showed a burger box from McDonald’s with the inscription ‘Baphomet’ and a small image of Baphomet on its side, leading to the false claim that McDonald’s has launched a ‘Baphomet’ series of burgers. However, it has been determined that the photo is generated by artificial intelligence (AI) and the claim is entirely false.

The photo, which gives the impression that McDonald’s has a burger series called ‘Baphomet,’ is not based on reality. Baphomet is a fictional idol or deity with origins dating back to the 11th century, and the claim of McDonald’s launching such a series is unsubstantiated.

Upon closer observation, it was found that the photo was indeed created by artificial intelligence. Discrepancies such as an incomplete McDonald’s logo, a different burger image, and misspelling of the word ‘Baphomet’ on the box indicate that the photo is not authentic. Furthermore, no such burger can be found on McDonald’s official website, and there is no credible information or media reports about the existence of such burgers.

The American fact-checking portal, Snopes, also verified the photo as false. This is not the first time that false and misleading claims related to McDonald’s have surfaced, and it is crucial to remain vigilant against such misinformation.

The source of the false information, the Facebook account Maia Tvaltvadze, is known for regularly publishing posts with anti-Western, anti-vax content, and conspiracy theories. It is important to approach information from such sources with skepticism and verify claims before believing or sharing them.
