A Burger King Played Toto's 'Africa' On Repeat So Fans Could Bless The Rains All Day Long

From Delish

History has proven that Twitter takes well to retweet challenges. Carter Wilkerson convinced 3.6 million people to share his tweet, earning him free Wendy's nuggets for a year. And after Ellen Degeneres scored more than 3 million retweets on her Oscars selfie in 2014, she continued to blast out charity challenges - ones where money is donated to a special cause for every retweet.

A few days ago, Burger King UK decided to test their luck with this: "If this tweet gets 1000 RTs we'll play Toto's Africa all day in one of our restaurants".

Only 1,000 retweets? Really?! The account has 24.7 thousand followers, so the person behind the tweet either completely underestimated the power of the internet or they really wanted to ensure that the song would play on a loop. Whichever it was, the ploy was a success.

The tweet racked up 6.6 thousand retweets, so Toto fans - or rather, "Africa" fans, because who really knows any of the band's other songs - got what they wanted. Yesterday, a London Burger King in Camden Town blasted the tune all. day. long.

We haven't seen any chatter from people who actually went, but apparently Toto approved of the stunt. They responded to Burger King UK's tweet, asking: "Does this come with fries?".
