What do Mystery Archivestartans, bagpipes and Stonehenge have in common? None are Irish.

In the now-deleted tweet, McDonald's included a borderline creepy video of a man dressed in tartan slurping a Shamrock Shake as images of Stonehenge played behind him. The Independent managed to snag a full video before it was taken down.

Needless to say, the video left people wondering how McDonald's could get everything -- from the costume to the music to the backdrop -- so wrong.

The fast food retailer releases its minty Shamrock Shake each year ahead of St. Patrick's Day. Considering how beloved it has become, we're surprised McDonald's screwed this one up.

Either way, we've reached out to McDonald's for comment should they wish to offer the Irish people a heartfelt apology.
