I remember once I was getting mcdonalds with a friend and his mom ordered a single piece of cheese, warm. Got it in a plastic salad container.

To be honest if you ask them to hold the mayo you probably have about a 50/50 chance of them actually giving you a sandwich without mayo.

On two different occasions, I ordered one of those premium chicken sandwiches at my local McD's drive through, and got home to find no meat on it. Just a bun with lettuce, mayo, and tomato.

Since then I've just ordered burgers because chicken is apparently just too complicated.

lmao not only do they think that chickens fly, but the way you "hack" the menu and order this "secret" item is to order each item individually and then assemble it yourself once your three sandwiches arrive. :holy:

Huh, I know it's just a McDouble and a McChicken. Two things that I order together sometimes. However, putting it together increased the goodness exponentially. It had the side effect of increasing the pathetic sadness exponentially as well though.

It's dumb though, they tell you its the secret menu, but to order them seperately yourself and then you put them together.

The gently caress, that isn't secret menu anything.


They also have Chili Cheese Burrito as a secret menu item for Taco Bell.

No, it's right on the loving menu, it's been around since Taco Bell started.

I am angry at the internet right now. Really angry.

Yeah, they also listed the 2 cheeseburger meal as a hack and I pointed out earlier it's been on the menu forever.

I also looked at the Taco Bell page. They list the Verde sauce packet as a hack. As in... just grab the hot sauce packet and use it and that's a hack somehow. :confused:

Burger King also has secret biscuits and gravy that is not on the menu. They do around here, anyway. It used to be on the breakfast menu, then it was taken off, but they still have it every time I ask.

I'd like to see this happen. I would like to see someone come into a place and be like, "Yeah, I'm ready to order. I want" and then he looks from side to side, leans in, and whispers "an Old Bozo." The cashier just looks bewildered and is like what and he's all wink wink an Old Bozo you know I'm cool I know what's up and the other cashiers are exchanging confused and somewhat scared looks until the guy finally just gives up and like wanders away.

I want to be there when it happens and live through it.

Grill orders are not really all that secret but key to getting decent food.

Ask for a slightly different variation of a product (my go to is a double cheese burgers with no pickles/pickles on the side) and they are forced to make one fresh instead of getting one from the "warmer."

Or you could just ask them to please make it fresh, and no you don't mind having to wait a bit. :shrug:

I used to work with a guy and every time we went to lunch somewhere with fries he would wait until he got his fries and say, "These are old can I get fresh fries", and he always did cuz he was nice about it.

That's what I mentioned earlier. I'll order the poo poo and assemble it myself. I'm not about to ask some 16 year old girl for some of this crazily named poo poo.

decide after work that you're going to try and get a poor man's big mac from the mcdonalds by the airport. order a double cheese burger, dry, add big mac sauce and shredded lettuce. have dumb order taker flub each of those simple components no less than three times before getting the order right. realize that adding lettuce is 40 cents and adding big mac sauce is 50 cents effectively negating most of the cost savings. get your burger and find that none of the substitutions were done and they handed you a regular double cheeseburger right off the line. fume in anger until you realize they also, inexplicably, put in a small order of fries.

Here it is. You find things like the amazingly secret Well Done Fries.

BTW, I'm only in this thread and making terrible decisions like making the McGangbang last night because I'm in a bipolar down cycle. I literally forget what it is to feel happy when I'm on a down. I know I've felt it before and it will probably return (too much in fact), but it's impossible to look forward to life at all.

When I care about life I don't even eat fast food because as someone else mentioned, McDonald's is pretty much body poison. I'm making these sacrifices for you guys. Please, don't thank me.
