US food company Buffalo Wild Wings had a bit of social media day when a hacker took control of their Twitter account and spew a few nasty and racist tweets on Saturday.
The bunch of posts revealed the 'secret recipe' for the food company's wings and it's not pretty.
Sometime around 5 am (IST) on Saturday, the hacker started tweeting beginning with revealing the recipe which is 'Tommy's cum." Within a few minutes they posted six tweets. They were about this particular Tommy who is responsible for making those wings 'delicious.' A couple of tweets were about somebody named Glove.
But one particular tweet said that another fast food company, Wendy's 'touches kids.' Wendy's, who are known to roast people on Twitter, have kept mum on this jab.
The hacker stopped after a few minutes because either they were done posting or lost control of the account.
But the screenshots of these crude tweets are doing rounds of social media and per usual, being made fun of.

Buffalo Wild Wings account later posted that their account was hacked and they apologise for the awful posts.
Well, we were hacked. And it wasn’t funny. We apologize for the awful posts, which obviously did not come from us.

FYI, Ambien did not make Buffalo Wild Wings do that either.

Media personality Tariq Nasheed who was referred in one of the racial tweets by the hacker said, "I don't know if they were hacked or not, but I'm still waiting on Buffalo Wild Wings to issue me an apology for this tweet about me. So far they have been pretty quiet."
After the apology tweet from BWW, Nasheed tweeted,
Finally Buffalo Wild Wings verified that they were hacked. But I still have a bunch of white supremacists harassing me because of the tweet from the BWW account.. I'm willing to settle out of court for an 80 piece order of Lemon Pepper wings, and some curly fries https://t.co/hbPWKPyoOG

According to a report in Gizmodo, a spokesperson for the company confirmed that they were hacked. "Buffalo Wild Wings’ Twitter account was hacked. We’re sorry that our fans had to see those awful posts, which obviously did not come from us. We are in touch with our Twitter representatives and will pursue the appropriate action against the individuals involved," said the spokesperson.
