In early September 2022, a tweet started going viral. The post featured an alleged press release from McDonald's, claiming that the restaurant chain was gearing up to bring All-Day Breakfast back to its menu on Oct. 6.

Despite the original tweet having been deleted (spoiler alert), many on Twitter were elated at the potential news.

"McDonald's serving All-Day Breakfast [again] is the best news I've received all year," tweeted one user.

Plenty of fans were excited about the purported news and immediately took it to be true. Unfortunately, there's no truth to this claim.

Outlets like CNBC have reported that McDonald's has no immediate plans to bring back the All-Day Breakfast menu and that the recent announcement was a hoax.

In fact, the image of the press release was lifted straight from the 2015 announcement of All-Day Breakfast at McDonald's, making its information years old.

With as many people who were excited about the return of All-Day Breakfast, just as many were outraged by the fact that it was taken away from them to begin with.

"Give us back what we lost!" one person tweeted, while another wrote, "Guys, it was fake! Let's get back at it, McDonald's. DAY 745 of asking for All-Day Breakfast!"

As for when the menu option could come back, its return doesn't seem all that likely. CNBC also reports that the All-Day Breakfast menu had to cut out key items in order to keep service timely and efficient. The problem existed before the pandemic, so it seems unlikely that it would come back even amidst more lax pandemic mandates.

By now, many of our favorite fast-food places serve breakfast items. We can start the day off with Egg McMuffins at McD's, Supreme Croissants at Jack in the Box, biscuits and gravy at Wendy's, or breakfast quesadillas at Taco Bell.

However, calls for the return of an All-Day Breakfast menu remain unanswered to this day.
