About This Quiz

Since there are McDonald's in almost every country around the world, there probably aren't many people who have literally sampled everything McDonald's has to offer. The menu has also been changed so many times since the days when a burger would just cost you a few cents that there are plenty of things we'll never see again. But one thing is consistent all around the world—McDonald's has a lot of food and a lot of it is incredibly popular with their customers. A lot, but not necessarily all.

Like any restaurant, McDonald's will go out on a limb sometimes to offer up some food that's a little different than what you might expect. Something regional, perhaps, that to people elsewhere in the world is extremely unusual. Or sometimes things that are just weird no matter who you are or where you're from.

A restaurant run by a clown can't be perfect all the time, can it? But maybe it's good that McDonald's gets a little weird sometimes. Maybe it tells us a bit about ourselves when we like some weird things. Maybe it can tell us a bit about you. In fact, if you take this quiz about weird McDonald's we'll guess your age and gender!

Japanese McDonald's offers up the Ebi Filet-O Shrimp sandwich made with panko-battered shrimp. Would you ever give it a try?

Fast food shrimp? No thanks!

I could give it a try.
I like seafood, why not?

It doesn't sound like my sort of thing.

New Zealand gave the world the Kiwiburger which comes with an egg and a slice of beet. Sound good?

Beet like the vegetable? No thanks.

I'd have a bite, sure.
You only live once. I'm in!

Beets and eggs don't belong together.

Word is that McDonald's in Taiwan once sold Italian Vanilla flavored Chicken McNuggets. Would you eat that?

That is so weird that I'd have to try one.

Why would anyone do such a thing?
Um. No?

I'll stick to regular nuggets.

You could once get breaded, fried Onion Nuggets as a side at McDonald's. How do those sound?

That sounds kind of good.

Like onion rings sort of? I'm in!
Sounds healthier than French fries.

Seems like it might be too much onion.

In Austria, you could get a chicken curry stir-fry McNoodle bowl. But would you?

At McDonald's? What's the point?

I could give that a try.
For sure, I love stir fry!

That sounds way better than most of McDonald's stuff.

Fish McBites were fried balls of fish that were discontinued in 2013. Do you wish they'd come back?

Eew, no thanks.

I can't say that I do.
I could try one just to see.

How bad could they be?

In Singapore, they sold the Chicken Curry Breakfast Burger. Picture an Egg McMuffin with a crispy chicken filet on it and curry sauce. Sound good?

Yes, it does!

Curry and egg and chicken? For breakfast?
Definitely worth a bite at least.

Ooh, curry!

In Germany, you can get three bratwurst sausages on a bun with onion and mustard. They call it the McNurnburger. Would you indulge?

German sausages? Yeah, I'd try it.

That sounds too unhealthy for me.

Picture a Hot Pocket stuffed with teriyaki chicken. That's a McStuffin! How many would you order?

None for me, thanks.

Who doesn't love Hot Pockets?
I'd try one, sure.

You can't order a Hot Pocket at a restaurant.

McSpaghetti used to be at US McDonald's and you can still get it in places like the Philippines. It comes with fried chicken! Want some?

Chicken and spaghetti? Sounds like a winner.
I'd have to try it at least once, just to know what it's like.

Why is it served with fried chicken?

McFlurries are pretty delicious because it's hard to mess up ice cream. Would you try a Pineapple Oreo McFlurry?

I want that!

That's a weird combo.
Fruit and Oreos? I'm in!

Maybe one or the other.

Did you ever hear of the Hula Burger? It was a slice of pineapple instead of a beef patty. How does that sound?

Pineapple on bread, huh? No thanks.

Honestly? Sounds dumb.
I feel like I won't like it.

I'd eat the pineapple.

The East Coast is where you need to go if you want a McLobster sandwich. Is that something you'd order?

Sounds like it's not for me.

I could definitely go for that.

I don't need that.
I like fries in ice cream sometimes, why not?

But why?

A Bubblegum Squash McFlurry isn't made with squash - it's bubblegum flavor and marshmallows. Are you in?

I'm so in.

Sounds like kid stuff.
That might be too sweet for me.

Why not? It's fun to cut loose sometimes.

The infamous McRib doesn't even have ribs in it, which makes it easier to eat. What do you think of it?

Sounds kind of gross.

You can't go wrong with pork and BBQ sauce.
I'm not super into it.

I love the McRib.

You can get a Coke at any McDonald's but only some have McBeer. Would you partake?

No thanks.

McYes I would!
What kind of beer is McBeer anyway?

A beer is good every now and then.

Did you ever try the infamous McPizza?

Never had it, but I would!

No one can screw up pizza, right?
I'd have a slice.

You go to a pizza place for pizza.

Canadian McDonald's offered up poutine—fries with gravy and cheese curds. How does that sound?

Gravy and cheese? I don't know about that.

That sounds perfect.
Anything with cheese has to be good.

That sounds unhealthy.

Everyone knows Chicken McNuggets but have you ever heard of Corn Dog McNuggets?

So they're like wieners?

That sounds fun!

No thank you.

I'm not big on breakfast

I don't think that's for me.
I could go for one of those.

That sounds really good.

Salads aren't unusual but McSalad Shakers were salads served in cups you had to shake up. Worth a try?

Salad's salad, why not?

I don't get it.
I mean, I guess.

I'm always down for a salad.

The Bacon Mac and Cheese Toastie is a sandwich in China. It's just bacon mac and cheese on a sandwich. Are you down?

I like the sound of this.

Can't go wrong with bacon mac and cheese.
Why is it on a sandwich, though?

That's just a ton of carbs.

Not everyone likes chicken. In Italy, you can get Spinach and Parmesan Nuggets. Do you want some?

I'd try that, sure.

Sounds a little too fancy for McDonald's.
This sounds tasty.

Ooh, spinach!

In the UK you can get the Bacon Roll. It's bacon and ketchup on a bun. How does that make you feel?

It's bacon! I like bacon!
How much sodium is in this?

I bet this is not healthy.

On the McDonald's secret menu you can order the Land, Sea, and Air Burger which is a beef, chicken and fish patty on one bun. Want one?
