The 7 Best Things About McDonald's

There's a lot to like about McDonald's world menu. The world fast-food chain has some iconic menu items, resembling the deliciously juicy Big Mac and the crunchy, crispy, iconic French fries. After all, we have a reason to be upset when we know that not every McDonald's is open 24 hours—we always wish it was. So what exactly is it about McDonald's that makes the fast-food giant a legend?


We've rounded up the 10 best things about McDonald's that make a fairly strong case and prove why those golden arches are tired of resisting. Think of McDonald's as your guide to the big facts every event should know frequently.





1. McDonald's fountain soda is the best tasting


You're not crazy if you generally think McDonald's fountain soda tastes better than anywhere else. There is a really real reason for this.

In line with McDonald's website, the building strictly follows Coca-Cola's instructions for serving. The purpose is to cool the water and Coca-Cola sweetener before placing them in the McDonald's soda fountain. On top of that, McDonald's even filters the water before it goes to the fountain.

There is a very delicate balance between sweetness and water considering that ice can melt so that the Coke you order is truly the most effective. McDonald's even serves soda with wider straws than usual to enhance the taste.


2 Frying is a special thing


Like Fountain Soda, McDonald's has exceptionally good fries for a really specific reason: they're lightly seasoned with beef flavor. McDonald's' website lists natural beef flavoring as the main ingredient in the fries, giving them a little something extra to top off that pure potato goodness.

McDonald's high-quality fries are additionally reflected in the fact that they are made with a blend of potatoes: Russet Burbank, Russet Ranger, Umatilla Russet, and Shepody.


3. Breakfast is available all-day

 

We'll always remember McDonald's breakfast items being available all day when it was finally announced in 2015. Now, instead of running to McDonald's at 9:55 a.m. to scavenge leftovers from breakfast, you can get your favorite things like McMuffins, McGriddles, and biscuits whenever you want.


4. The McRib has its own season


McDonald's McRib has become a cult favorite since its introduction in 1981. The sandwich — which isn't even ribs — was created when chicken farmers couldn't keep up with McDonald's demand for its products. So, the chain sprung up for the pork patty-filled McRib instead.

When McDonald's removed the sandwich from its menu in 1985, there was so much public outrage that they brought it back from 1989 to 2005. Now, we see it for a limited time each year, sometimes in the fall. So start your countdown to a successful McRib season in October or November!


5. That's it. Special chutney


Massive waterproofs, while a tasty sandwich in and of themselves, might not be a bestseller even if that particular sauce isn't. McDonald's kept this recipe a secret for decades, but in 2012, they released a sauce recipe similar to what they serve in stores. It includes mayonnaise, yellow mustard, vino vinegar, relish, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. If you don't want to consume the entire giant mac, you'll order the sauce on alternate sandwiches.


6. Free sauce on the side


Say you want that Big Mac special sauce for your hamburger. Instead of ordering it on your burger, order a side of special sauce. In keeping with a question-and-answer session with a McDonald's employee on Reddit, the chain doesn't charge for a sauce on the side of your meal. You get any sauce this way with tartar sauce. But if you only get one, choose the result sagely!


7. Might very well be a secret menu


Like most restaurants, McDonald's has an unofficial secret menu. But it's not the same as 'n out "animal style" fries. You can't go and order something by name from the key menu because not everyone knows what land, sea, and air burgers (hamburger, filet-o-fish, and chicken) are. You have to spell out what you want for the Cashier.

The great news is that your choices become almost endless when it comes to customizing your order. You may come back with a brand-new creation that everyone else wants to try.
