McDonald's has some crazy menu items from around the world. Spaghetti in the Philippines. Chicken Parm in Australia.
Nori dusted seaweed fries from Japan. McShrimp in Germany. McAloo tiki burger in India. McDonald's is actually pretty creative. Good job, Ronald.
Today, I'll be visiting the McDonald's global headquarters to taste some menu items from around the globe.
And I'll be tasting with a special guest. Do what Remy says and smack that like button. It's time to go.
All right, we are here at McDonald's global headquarters with my buddy Dental Digest. Thanks for having me.
He's normally reviewing toothbrushes and toothpaste, but today I'm going to show him something a little bit more exciting.
What do you mean?
Bro, everyone brushes their teeth.
Man, he doesn't brush.
Oh, that's nasty, bro. Come on.
I kind of wish I went here instead of my regular office.
It would have been more fitting for me.
They probably got some delicious meals for lunch.
First things first, we got this special envelope from McDonald's.
I mean, look at that seal right there.
So official.
I don't want to even touch it.
This is intense.
What is that?
Handwritten note.
Look at that.
It's beautiful.
We can't wait to see the world of creations you unlock at MHQ.
And we can't wait to see what you create.
Enjoy your friends at McDonald's.
Yum.
Is there anything else in the packet?
Oh, let's go.
We got some McDonald's gift cards.
Let's go eat.
No toothbrushes today.
This is the entrance to the international menu.
The only one I know of in the world.
Let's go.
So first things first, they have no in-person order.
We have to use these kiosks.
Already, you can see there's crazy things on this menu.
Look at this McFlurry.
I can't wait to eat it.
So first things first, global favorites.
And look at all the crazy things they have.
I want one of these.
I'm gonna get one of those.
Let's see what else they got.
Got some crazy menu hacks.
We got some land, air, and sea.
Don't know what that is, but we're getting it.
We are now ready to order, and our grand total is not looking so hot.
Oh, Anthony, I forgot my credit card today.
I think you got them gift cards, right?
McDonald's plugged us.
Thank you for watching.
You want to take a picture?
You like toothbrushes better than food?
I can't believe they like toothbrushes better than food.
That's just ridiculous.
So basically, we used so many gift cards that we totally broke the machine over there.
Wow, what do we got here?
This looks so good.
Where do we even start off, Nick?
Oh, you're already going.
All right, Nick, what country do you want to fly to first?
I say we go across the globe to Hong Kong.
Let's do it.
What is this thing?
It doesn't look like the most appetizing drink on the menu,
but this is called the McFloat.
It's pretty good.
It's pretty simple.
So we're basically a rookie of Float.
Well, it's Coca-Cola instead of Rookie.
I give it a 6 out of 10.
I'm getting pretty hungry.
Let's head on over to Korea for the Triple Onion Burger.
Let's see what it looks like.
This has three different types of onions on it.
Some are crispy, some are caramelized, and some are regular.
Let's dive in.
I don't really like onion.
All right, let's do it.
Ooh, I kind of like this.
I might stay in Korea for a while.
Actually, the aftertaste is pretty good.
Some of the onion on the bottom actually gets pretty bitter with this one.
And this thing is fully, fully loaded with just tons and tons of onion.
So it's a little bit sharp.
I give this a 6 out of 10.
I'm with you on that.
6 out of 10?
That's it?
Exactly my rating?
No, actually, I don't like it that much.
I'm gonna give it a 4.
Aren't you Italian?
We should head over to Italy.
Pistachio.
Pistachio McFlurry.
This thing is what I've been waiting for.
This is thick.
Yeah, this is thick.
Look at that.
Oh, wait a second.
This is good.
Man, bring your mouth over here.
Take a big bite.
It's really good.
That's delectable.
This is a solid 9.2 out of 10 for me.
It's creamy.
It tastes really natural.
It tastes real.
I prefer McDonald's.
What do you think?
I'm gonna give it a 9.8.
You're giving this a 9.8 out of 10?
I've never been to Ireland before.
Let's see what they got.
The Shamrock Shake is actually a very evasive menu item at McDonald's.
It's iconic.
This is the Shamrock Shake.
Whoa.
That's great.
It's pretty simply a minty vanilla milkshake.
A little too sweet after a couple of sips,
so I'm gonna give it like a 7.2,
but other than that, it's really good.
I'm going with a 6.9.
6.9, it's saucy.
I don't see you dipping any french fries in your milkshake.
What's wrong with you, bro?
Man, do you ever do that?
Yeah, I do.
Get out.
Oh, f**k.
Tell us in the comments below if you should be doing that or not.
Next, we are popping a quick flight over to the Netherlands.
We're trying the Homestyle Chicken Sandwich.
This has crispy chicken, bacon, onions, and two sauces combined into one.
Let's dive in.
Cheers.
Whoa.
They're good.
That sauce is mind-blowing.
Man, look at that sauce up close.
It's like a caramelized onion.
Spicy.
A little smoky.
I got sweetness, though.
Sweet, smoky, spicy.
It's hitting it all at the same time.
My taste buds are going wild on this one.
I'm gonna have another menu item from the Netherlands.
The sweet potato fries.
The Netherlands are crushing.
Manny, what's in there?
Uh-oh.
Look at that.
Pull that out, Manny.
What does that look like to you?
That's a normal fry.
Honestly, these are, like, really good sweet potato fries.
They're crispy.
They taste super fresh.
I'm, like, kind of shocked at the Netherlands right now.
I wish we could rip through some more Dutch cuisine right now.
All right, let's give the Netherlands as a whole a review.
Right now, for me, they're the top tier country.
I'm gonna give them a 7.4.
It didn't quite have enough pop.
I'm gonna give it an 8.2.
I enjoyed the chicken sandwich.
All right, let's head over to France and grab some pastries.
Whoa.
This is a blueberry and cream strudel.
It's really, really good.
You want some, Manny?
Yeah.
No, no, don't feed him.
This makes me comfy inside.
What?
Comfy.
Cozy.
That was pretty good.
I'm gonna give it a 7.6.
I'm going with a flat 6 because I thought it was too sweet.
I like sugar.
And I'm a dentist.
Not yet. I'm a dental student, actually.
Still.
To finish off our international tour, we're hopping right next door to Spain.
They basically copy Dunkin' Donuts with these.
These are called McPops.
It's basically just a little donut hole or munchkin.
And it is not to be confused with McDonald's.
It's got like, what, Nutella in the middle?
I have white cream.
I don't want to eat the white cream.
I don't want to eat those at all.
I'm a donut guy.
I like a good donut.
That's not very good.
It's not. It's got wheat.
I give it a 3.
I give it a 1.2.
Just didn't have anything that made me excited.
Spain, I still love you.
You guys got the best paella out there.
But this just wasn't it.
All right, now let's finish this meal with the menu hack.
Air, land, and sea.
The Big Mac doesn't fly.
Why not?
We've never seen this before, but apparently there are menu hacks now.
And they sell you all three things to build one giant mega sandwich.
I think we start with the Big Mac on the bottom.
Lift this up.
You're the chef.
Filet of fish goes down.
I think like this.
Why do they have it so off-center?
Chicken.
So, so far, we have land, sea, air.
But chickens don't fly.
I think if you throw high enough, then they get the good gust of wind.
And then let's top it off with the last patty and the Big Mac.
We have our land, air, and sea hack.
It actually looks kind of good.
We can have Manny eat it.
Yeah, we should have Manny.
You want to try?
He looked kind of hungry.
All right, one bite challenge.
All right, let's see if I can get this in my mouth.
Looks good.
Yo, that's a mega bite.
Good flavor?
There's a lot of bread going on.
I don't really taste the burger.
I taste the fish more and the chicken more.
I give it like a 7.5 out of 10.
I think it's pretty good.
Kind of dry.
There's too much bread.
Sheesh, man, I'm full after that meal.
It was a pleasure.
Thank you for inviting me to travel around the world and eat some delicious meals.
My favorite has to go to the Pistachio McFlurry.
Pistachio McFlurry all the way.
And I wish we could have tried the Stroopwafel McFlurry.
Maybe next time.
Next time on our adventure around the world.
In the meantime, don't forget to check out Dental Digest.
I know I made fun of his toothbrushes, but it's actually really cool.
I enjoy food as much as I love brushing my teeth.
And who doesn't?
McDonald's is delicious.
All right, guys, happy cooking.
