Nando's might be getting a little too hot

South African brand Nando's, that has recently become a huge hit in the international market, is known for their very risque advertising, but it seems this time they might have taken it a little too far.

 

It all started when Twitter user @ells_’ tweeted: ‘I thought I could handle Nandos hot chicken. But boyyyy the way my mouth was burning.’

The tweet wasn’t directed at the firm so the person behind their PR must have found it some how.

 

 

Nando's responded with a not so subtle tweet: ‘Can’t handle the heat, Elle? ;-)’

She replied with: ‘I can handle it, I just chose not to actually,’ 

Nandos then crossed the line: Why not DM us your address and we’ll see if we can test that ;-)’

Elle said: ‘Is Nando’s moving on me or am I seeing things?’

 

A spokesperson for Nando’s said: ‘We like to have fun with our customers on Twitter and reward our loyal fans.

‘We wanted to send Elle a bottle of hot sauce in response to her tweet, which is where the reference to “handling the heat” comes from.

‘We would never intentionally offend someone and when we realised we may have done so, deleted the tweet. This is not something we would usually do.’

 

It really is getting hot in here!!!!
