McDonald’s Hacks That Really Up The Value
What, you didn't know McDonald's had a secret menu? Well, it's really customers who know how to get creative with their orders. It's also past employees who know how to work the menu.
If you want something special and different for your next trip to the clown's diner, take a look at these ideas.
"Double Vanilla Iced Coffee"
This one is for all the coffee lovers out there who have a thing for vanilla.
Putting the ice cream in it is going to take it over the top.
"Instead Of Ordering A Regular Chicken Biscuit, Get It With McGriddle Bread Instead"
This sounds amazing. The McGriddle buns are in a class of their own with the syrup in them.
I'd eat this sandwich in about three bites if you let me have it.
The Perfect Ice Cream Sandwiches
For the perfect ice cream sandwiches, you're going to need soft-baked cookies and an Oreo McFlurry.
Once you have them, you're all good to make the best treat on the hack menu.
Add Egg To Your Burger
Since breakfast is all day now, feel free to add some egg to your burgers for an added touch.
Some burger joints already have eggs as an option, so join the party.
For A Nice Float
If you want your own root beer float, it's easy to make at McDonald's as long as the ice cream machine works.
If it does, order a root beer or a Coke, and you're set.
If You're From California
If you're from California, you can make a version of animal fries at McDonald's as well!
Just ask for Mac sauce on the side, and you can have a taste of something special.
"Order A Normal Sausage McMuffin And Add An Egg To Save Some Dollars"
This is the tactic that will shave some cents off your regular sausage egg McMuffin order.
Adding the egg will save you some change, but it adds up after some time.
For Eating On The Go
I believe McDonald's has always wanted people to utilize their items like this, but we didn't know.
It looks like it might not be safe, but as long as you don't run around with it you should be able to snack on the go.
Spice Up The Apple Pie
Eating an apple pie by itself is fine, but you can make it better if you want.
Add some ice cream to the side, and you're in for a great treat.
"Side Caesar With Two Grilled Chicken Breasts"
This hack will cost you about $8. Sure, you can find a better Caesar at another restaurant, but this is McDonald's.
This way, you get all the chicken you can handle.
"Hash Browns Instead Of English Muffin"
This looks like the prize some people waited their whole lives to eat, and I'm not even mad.
Using hash browns as the buns is a brilliant hack that should be on the menu.
Add Espresso To Your Vanilla Milkshake
This is an idea I haven't heard about before. Asking for a shot of espresso and adding it to a shake sounds great.
I don't know how well it will taste at first, but you've got to try it.
Add Chicken McNuggets To Your Greens
If you have salad greens at home and you bring back some McNuggets, you're in luck.
Split them up and add them to your personal salad for a chicken salad!
Making Dipping Fun
It's always hard trying to figure out where to put the dipping sauce, but now you know.
Once you're done with your McFlurry, place that sauce cup in the lid and you're set.
"Order Two Sausage Patties, Two Slices Of Cheese And Two Round Eggs On A Plate"
This is a keto order for those on that diet. It looks pretty tasty if you don't like buns.
In fact, carbs aren't always that good for you, so give this a try.
Add That Hash Brown
Let's face it, adding a hash brown can make any breakfast item better unless you don't like potatoes.
If you like them, add one to a double cheeseburger and enjoy it.
The Chicken Parm Sandwich
Here's more of an international hack, but we won't let it go by the wayside.
For a tasty chicken parm sandwich, ask for a plain buttermilk crispy sandwich and add three mozzarella sticks with the sauce on top.
"A Dirty Sausage And Egg Mcmuffin"
As I mentioned earlier, adding a hash brown really changes the whole meal. Here's another example.
Someone called this the dirty sausage and egg McMuffin. The dirty part is the hash brown.
Add The Meats Together
For a meaty experience, you're going to need to order a double cheeseburger, McChicken, and Mac sauce.
Add them together and you've got yourself a wonderful experience for your mouth.
For The No Mess Eaters
Slide your burger into the fry container and you've got yourself a clean way to eat.
Look at how happy she looks knowing she won't make a mess in her car.
A Perfect As Pie Dessert
The Apple pie soft serve secret menu item has made it to Korea.
This version crams two whole pies right into a soft serve cup and gives you the option to mash it all together to create a sort of pie blizzard.
The Land, Sea, And Air Burger
This giant burger is called a "Land, Sea, and Air" burger, for all the reasons you would think.
It's a triple cheeseburger, two Filet-o-Fish patties, plus a fried chicken patty topped with bacon and all the sauces. That includes mayo, tartar sauce, ketchup, and mustard.
Stack 'Em Up
The street term for this creation is a "McGangBang," but that's awful so we'll just call it a Junior Chicken smushed between a McDouble.
There is a lot of bun action happening on this one.
A Little Beef-Chicken-Beef Action
The caption on this photo called it the "Beef Chicken Beef" sandwich off the secret menu.
It's the bun from the BigMac sandwich with two McDouble patties, a Junior Chicken patty, and a whole bunch of cheese.
This Sloppy Fish And Chick
Someone called this sloppy creation the "Fish and Chick" because of the Filet-o-Fish and Junior Chicken ingredients.
All you have to do is order one of each and stack them together.
The Quad Nugget Burger
Behold the Quad Nugget Burger that looks like a triple cheeseburger with at least four chicken McNuggets jammed in between the buns and patties.
If you love nuggets and messy burgers, this has your name all over it.
The Triple Cheese Burg
This secret menu item is a fan favorite in the Philippines and it's called the "Triple Cheeseburger."
There might be more cheese than burger on this thing but it does look like a task worth taking on.
A Breakfast For The Ages
This breakfast monstrosity is made up of a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a biscuit.
The sandwich artist has added a buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich with the signature sauce to level this thing up.
Quarter Pounder X2
There is a regular quarter pounder, and then there is the double quarter pounder, pictured above.
It's a lot more beef and a bit more weight to hold onto but it looks like a solid meal.
Try The McCrepes For A Sweet Treat
All you have to do to get this incredible breakfast is order the classic McDonald's hotcakes and a fruit n' yogurt parfait, then combine the two.
You will have made yourself a secret menu McCrepe!
The Land, Air, & Sea Has Landed
The once popular hack item, Land, Air, & Sea is actually coming to the main menu in 2022.
At a whopping 1330 calories you can get the combo Big Mac, McChicken, and Filet-o-Fish.
Get Fancy With Surf & Turf
Alongside the release of the Land, Air, & Sea sandwich is the Surf & Turf. The once popular hack of adding a Filet-o-Fish in the middle of a Double Cheeseburger is now on the main menu.
Get them while they're still being offered!
