MANILA, Philippines – Facebook page Brandon Cueto Music has a viral hit on its hands with two photos allegedly showing an Angel's Burger "Buy 1, Take 8" promo.
Ten hours after being posted on Tuesday, August 29, the post amassed 31,000 reactions, 60,000 shares, and 14,000 comments – many of which laughed at the absurd-sounding promo. They also made references and comparisons to Zark Burger's 8-peso burger promo, which went viral the day before. (READ: Malls seized by hungry mobs for 8-peso burger fix)

To the dismay of netizens looking to gobble up a lot of burgers, Angel's Burger's official page has come out to say that the promo is not true:

"Wala po itong katotohanan (There is no truth to this) ma'am/sir," the page said, adding, "Buy 1 take 1 lang po tayo. (We only do Buy 1 take 1)."
