McDonald's and Wendy's Apps Crash From High Demand for Cheap Cheeseburgers on National Cheeseburger Day

McDonald's and Wendy's offered discounted cheeseburgers for National Cheeseburger Day, but the deals proved too popular and crashed their apps.
McDonald's sold Double Cheeseburgers for 50 cents through its app, while Wendy's had Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for 1 cent.
The McDonald's app crashed around noon on Cheeseburger Day, with over 800 outage reports. Many users lost rewards and account history.
Wendy's app also crashed from high demand. Many Twitter users complained about not being able to access the deal.
The Wendy's 1 cent cheeseburger deal lasts through September 22, so people can still take advantage if the app starts working again.
