Can you Spot the Fake McDonald’s Item on the Menu?
If you’re feeling super adventurous, head to Mexico for the Flaming Hot Doritos Quarter Pounder. There’s no red-eye breakfast at McDonald’s, but they did offer up Brown Melts for a spell and in New Mexico, you could get the Green Chile Double Cheeseburger. First thing in the morning, you may want some McDonald’s breakfast. If you’re a fan of color-coded eating, you can always let the rainbow guide your menu choices. Which of these colorful items is a fraud? Head to Peru and you can find the Chicha Purple Temptation, a dessert made from blue corn.
There was never a Li’l Mac on any menu, but there was a Baby Mac in New Zealand. Some places in the US sell it as the Mac Jr. while the Son of Mac was around in Australia. There’s no such thing as a Spicy Mac, but McDonald’s did offer some heat with the Spicy Buffalo Snack Wrap, the Hot n’ Spicy version of their famous McChicken and the McSpicy Burger which was actually a chicken sandwich. Which one was not a choice? Sometimes it’s pretty clear that the creative team at McDonald’s really phoned it in. If you’re in the market for some heat, McDonald’s has spicy versions of menu items.
Pick the fake sandwich! Beef and bun. It’s how you top it that makes the difference. All burgers are essentially the same, right? Which of these was not a real thing? South Florida locations had the Cuban sandwich for a time and Philly Cheesesteaks were on the menu in Australia and Canada. You won’t find an egg salad burger on any menu, but China will absolutely give you a burger topped with mashed potatoes while Germany will hand over a burger with a potato rosti on top. There was never a McMonte Cristo, but back in the 1960s McDonald’s would sell you a roast beef sandwich just like Arby’s still does.
Egg McMuffins aren’t the only McMuffins you’ll find at McDonald’s. The Spinach Feta McMuffin is a fake but the Chicken Crisp McMuffin exists in Japan while the Halloumi McMuffin was in Oman and the BLT McMuffin was a breakfast item from Korea. Sir Sombrero is also a real menu item that is a sombrero-shaped cheese bite with Jalapeno slices inside, sold at McDonald’s in Serbia. Jalapeno fans could get their fix at McDonald’s. McDonald’s offers vegetarian options, but one of these ones is a fake. Jalapeno Cheddar McMelt isn’t for real. Which of these peppery items is a sham? Three of these are real, but one isn’t. The Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Burger is, however, as is the Jalapeno Double.
You won’t find McKale anywhere, but there is a McBean Burger in Sweden and a Veggie clubhouse that was made with a quinoa patty. French Canadian Pea Soup isn’t a real McDonald’s soup, but Corn Soup is in Taiwan while Minestrone was offered in Japan. Which of these flavors is not real? Orange Creamsicle never got made into a McFizz but you can indulge in a Green Apple McFizz if you wish. The McVegan was introduced in European markets then caught one elsewhere. There’s also a Blue Hawaii flavor and also Bubblegum for those who are serious about their drinks. Crayfish soup was for sale in Hong Kong for people who like things a little fishy. Have you ever had a McFizz? Which of these four is an imposter? It’s a fizzy drink! McSoup wasn’t the only soup available at McDonald’s.
Hokkaido Salmon and Namtok Rice is in Thailand while Grilled Pork with Rice is on the menu in Vietnam. Minion Potatoes are in Bangkok and they’re actually shaped like Minions. Which of these potato items is not a real deal menu choice somewhere? Scalloped Potato Bites are not a real menu item. Superman Potato Cheese Balls were available in Hong Kong, while Young Potatoes made it to the menu in Croatia. The Hula Burger wasn’t the end of McDonald’s love affair with pineapples. Sometimes you crave a potato but not a french fry.
