Roast Beef

The roast beef section is awful. Rewrite! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.163.0.42 (talk) 00:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Article cleanup

I am in the process of cleaning this article up, there is a lot of duplicated information; separate line items with information on variants that should be included in the main line item or separate articles; and international sections that are not needed. Please take a look at the main article before adding and information that might be elsewhere in the article.

Thanks, Jeremy (Jerem43 02:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)) Fionn (User:F10nn15 16:52 14 January 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.208.154 (talk) 16:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

McFeast

Currently (18-March-2008), there is no entry anywhere in this whole page for the McFeast. This product did appear in certain U.S. test markets -- I even say my dad order one from a McDonalds in California and eat it. (He was unimpressed.)

Surely, the McFeast at least deserves a mention in the Discontinued Items section!

--Rogermw (talk) 20:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Chicken Fajita

McDonalds also used to have a Chicken Fajita wrap in the lat 1990s. It also deserves a mention in the Discontinued Items. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.21.185 (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Fried Chicken

If my memory serves me right, I think McDonald's served fried chicken at one point (probably when I was a toddler). WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 13:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Portions variations between markets

I think it would be a good idea to include information about size variatons of beverage servings across the McDonalds chain. For example, a US Small Size Coca-Cola Classic (16 fl oz) is aprox. equal in volume to a EU Large Size Coca-Cola (500 ml , 16.8 fl oz). In EU, the smallest portion is 250 ml , 8.45 fl oz , half of the USA smallest portion. French Fries apear to have the same sale-sizes on both markets.

Nutrition Facts

A list of food items in sortable wikitable format could be added to this page including information on Calories, Fat, etc. for each menu items. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tavatar (talk • contribs) 03:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Region-specific changes to Menu

The article says due to the "Religious prohibition of beef in India". This is incorrect. There is no prohibition (Religious? It's a secular country!) on any type of food in India. The difference is that most people do not consume beef and hence McDonalds had to change it's menu to suit the market. 92.48.137.191 (talk) 10:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)KC

"LTO"?

The abbreviation "LTO" is used three times in this article, but never defined, nor is it linked to anything. What does it mean? What is an "LTO shake" or an "LTO burger"? Avram (talk) 08:02, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

It means Limited Time Offer Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 02:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

McDouble

Why is this being removed? It is also found on the company website. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 14:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

It was removed because "I saw it when I ate at McDonalds" is not verifiable information from a reliable source. If you can indeed provide confirmation from a reliable source (preferably from a third party source other than McD), then feel free to add it to the article. Also, the commentary "because the original double cheeseburger was pulled off the dollar menu" is a violation of our no original research policy, and would also need to have a source. -- The Red Pen of Doom 15:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Did you read what he said? He said it is on the company web site, which means it is WP:V and is allowed under WP:PSTS. You should hit it with a cite needed tag and and if it isn't fixed in a reasonable amount of time, then delete it. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 15:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

When I get to my desktop computer, I will add the citation. In the meantime, this has been added back, minus the comment of the dollar menu with the addition of the tag. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 16:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

To Sweet-pea. Fair enough.

To Jeremy: Yes I did read that someone claimed that there exists a source somewhere. However, someone's claim that a reference exists somewhere is no more a valid source than "I saw it when I was eating at McDonalds". WP:BURDEN -- The Red Pen of Doom 16:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

shakes

should be under desserts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.195.134 (talk) 23:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

McRib

"This limited time marketing stategy was parodied on The Simpsons, with the "Krusty Burger Ribwich". "

This type of stuff should never appear in any article. The Simpons, Family Guy, etc. have parodied every single subject matter out there. We don't need to hear about them over and over again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.147.133.41 (talk) 14:38, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Why?

Why is it that there is a lot of information on international products when it has it's own page? Isn't this why the original article was split up as the article was getting too long? It seems like it's getting long again. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 17:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Desserts -- yogurt or soft ice cream?

In the early 1990s when I worked there, the original soft serve was replaced with soft serv yogurt, and the shakes became lowfat as well. The current dessert listing does not list yogurt as the base for cones and sundaes, nor is it lised on the discontinued items. So what is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbinks (talk • contribs) 13:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

No Pickles?

Shouldn't it be included that they added the pickles back on the cheeseburger after they took them off? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.163.183 (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

There is an email going around that McDonalds no longer purchases meat from the USA. (America) and the reason being is that WE cannot provide enough meat for the restaurants here in the United States. I would like to know if this is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.196.69.213 (talk) 20:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

California Deluxe

One McDonalds item that is noticeably missing from this list is an item that was sold in the 90's called the "California Deluxe". I believe this was a regional product to just California. It was a double cheeseburger that contained a special sauce. I believe that it was supposed to take on In-n-Out Burger's Double-Double. There is a reference to the sandwich in the following article: http://copywriteink.blogspot.com/2007/08/driving-brand-mcdonald-corporation.html Recnet (talk) 14:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Unofficial items

Anyone think unofficial but popular items (like the McGangbang, for which there is an article) should be mentioned, or would that be inappropriate? I do believe this isn't the place for it, but if not here, then where? Hamstergirl591 02:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Burger with Grilled Onions and Cheddar

I remember eating a burger that had grilled onions with cheddar cheese on it. "Grilled" onions is the operative word. I thought it was the Michael Jordan burger, but you guys have barbecue sauce, and something else for it. If this isn't the Michael Jordan burger, than which one is it. The bun seemed kind of like rye bread, or something like that. This was awhile ago. This could have been 15 years ago. 76.203.39.21 (talk) 01:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

That's the "Cheddar Melt" (you described it 100% accurately), and they used to show up from time to time, but not so much lately. Damn, they were awesome, right? Miss those.... 72.226.78.94 (talk) 02:34, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Missing information

Back in 1996 or 1997 there was a "Hercules Burger" it was 3 hamburges with cheese etc. Also some location have MCDONUTS (eg. NYC)

McSkillet burrito discontinued

Well, they don't sell the McSkillet burrito anymore, unfortunately. I'm too drunk and too bad at editing wiki pages to make the changes myself, hopefully someone more sober/clued than me can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.241.251 (talk) 01:52, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Dutch Deluxe

In Holland right now McDonald's is selling a special Dutch Deluxe burger. Info is here: http://www.amsterdamadblog.com/2010/03/08/mcdonalds-dutch-deluxe-made-for-holland/

I don't know anything about editing articles but thought I'd give a heads-up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.213.64.68 (talk) 19:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

McFlurrys

Firstly, does anyone think I should add a link to these on the Flurry disambiguation page? Secondly, does anyone think McFlurry's deserve a page to themselves, or at least a larger section on this page. For example listing the usual flavours (in the UK it's Dairy Milk, Smarties and Crunchie; but Germany for example halways has Bounty, and France has Daim) but also listing the one-off/seasonal flavours, such as Cadbury's Creme Egg, which often cost more --TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

No, and no. The product is non-notable unto itself and including a list of flavors is a violation of WP:Not, that is it WP is not a menu. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 14:50, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

The Australian McDonalds website says that McFlurrys have soft-serve (the WP article claims that they are commonly confused with "soft serve" but are actually frozen yoghurt). Is this the case elsewhere? There is no citation for the frozen yoghurt claim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.53.198.81 (talk) 09:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The US and UK ingredients lists both indicate it is ice cream and also call it so. 90.204.116.184 (talk) 21:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

McDonuts

Soon after 9/11/2001, a McDonalds close to the WTC site installed a mini-donut making machine and sold the product as McDonuts, with approval from corporate HQ, though it may have been a case of "better to ask forgiveness than permission". I don't know if that store still sells them but it appears to not have spread to other stores. I recall seeing a short story about it on television news. Bizzybody (talk) 07:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Custom ordering

When I get an Angus burger I always have a bacon and cheese but omit the onions and sauce then add leaf lettuce and substitute swiss cheese to make it a bacon swiss angus. Many McDonalds stores will add bacon to any sandwich for an extra charge. Some will add leaf lettuce or substitute it in place of shredded lettuce on any sandwich for no charge, yet will charge to add shredded lettuce to a sandwich that normally comes with no lettuce. Depending on policy set by a franchise owner or store manager, customers may be able to substitute the angus burger pickles or swiss cheese on other sandwiches. Some don't charge extra, some do. A McDouble with the angus burger pickles, swiss cheese and leaf lettuce, minus onions and all sauces, with just a tiny bit of ketchup, at no cost above the regular McDouble, is a quite decent fast food burger. Customers may order a Big N' Tasty well done. The patty is cooked a second time, which gives it an almost barbecue grilled crust, a completely different taste and eliminates the messy dripping due to drying it out just enough. If you don't like how much sauce (of any sort) comes on a sandwich, order without and add your own ketchup. Most McDonalds stores have packets of mayo and usually light mayo on request, might have mustard packets too. The various dipping sauce tubs are available to purchase, usually for 25 cents. Barbecue sauce on a McChicken is pretty good. There's no "secret menu" like In-n-Out Burger, you just have to ask if you can have it your way. Bizzybody (talk) 07:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

French Fries can be ordered without any salt on them in some locations. They will cook a new batch and NOT salt them before serving them to you.

In the 1970's, our local cluster of McDonalds offered a "grill cheese" sandwich, not on the menu. You could ask for it, and they would charge you for a Cheeseburger. They would take a regular bun, turn it inside out, put the cheese between the bun, put the whole thing in the bun toaster/carmelizer until browned, then serve. No condiments. Stores will refuse to do this nowadays. I cooked them and served them to customers at the direction of management. 75.226.202.178 (talk) 06:31, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

rename?

Shouldn't this article be titled "McDonald's's products"? -anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.255.34 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

It could be interpreted that way, but no, for example a similar page is Burger King products not Burger King's products. –CWenger (talk) 03:12, 5 March 2011 (UTC) P.S. If you don't want your comments automatically signed you can opt out.

Mac Snack Wrap - suggested merger

It has been suggested that Mac Snack Wrap be merged into this article.

• Merge - The article is about a one-time trial and non-notable on its own merit. Truthanado (talk) 18:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
• Merge - I have placed a speedy deletion template on that page Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 19:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

McPizza

The article states that pizza is only available in Orlando, Florida. Pizza is, and always has been sold at the McDonalds in my town: Spencer, WV. I believe this article used to state that Spencer, WV sold pizza, but it was removed at some point.

173.81.174.20 (talk) 22:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I have updated that line to indicate that it may be available on a regional basis (due to owner/operator preference) Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 19:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Introduction date of McNuggets

The Wikipedia article on Chicken McNuggets says they were introduced in 1983. This article says 1980. They can't both be correct. 75.226.202.178 (talk) 06:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Onion prep type on Quarter Pounder & patty seasonings

In my seven years cooking for McDonalds, and over 40 years eating there, the onions I have encountered on Quarter Pounders have always been diced, not slivered. I have seen slivered onions at some outlets on McRibs. Perhaps this depends on the prepared produce provider and what they offer? The article also seemed to imply there are other spices used on the meat patties while cooking, when I am aware of only salt and pepper. Any other spice or seasoning must come in the condiment/dressing stage as far as I know. 75.226.202.178 (talk) 06:15, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I currently work at McDonald's, all quarter pounder burgers have slivered onions. Diced onions are called Recon Onions ( Reconstituted ) and are dehydrated, and are re hydrated by adding water, and soaking them for an hour. The water must be cold, or they turn pink. These are only used for the cheeseburger, hamburger, McDouble, double hamburger,Bacon McDouble, and the DoubleCheeseburger. The training materials provided by McDoanlds Corp to it's individual franchises and stores all list the proper prep includes slivered onions, not recon onions.

Also, there are different seasonings. The steak for breakfast gets Steak Seasoning ( added after you take the steak off the grill, far different from normal salt and pepper. The salt and pepper grill seasoning is for reg meat, and quarter meat added after it is done cooking, but still on the grill, and mushrooms. The angus burgers get angus seasoning, added while dressing the sandwich. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.17.89.115 (talk) 00:05, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Scope

The top of the article reads "This article is about products offered in American McDonald's locations." So should references to products like the McArabia be removed from this page? Or is that disclaimer just an excuse to avoid a worldwide view? Perhaps a rename to "List of McDonald's products in the United States" is in order. International availability of McDonald's products is not meant to be this article for all countries; that article is for highlighting unique products and differences between countries. --BDD (talk) 03:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Entrée

Should 'entrée' be used so heavily, considering its drastic difference in meaning between English-speaking countries? It's a downright surreal to call the hamburger an entrée in Australia or the UK, when 'entrée' means 'appetiser' in those countries (as is logical, but I digress). 60.242.48.18 (talk) 12:59, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Former items

• This section needs serious work; in fact, I wonder if a lot of those products actually ever existed. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 04:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Fruit and Walnut Salad

The Fruit and Walnut Salad is no longer mentioned in the US or International versions of this article. This item is still being sold in the U.S and does indeed exist, it contains walnuts, vanilla yogurt (like in the parfaits), apply slices (but with the skin on them, not like apple dippers), and grapes. It is a very unpopular item at our location, but it is still carried. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.17.89.115 (talk) 23:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Kids Fry

I see that the happy meal fry is constantly called "tiny" or "smaller than small", this is an adjective, and not the name of the size. The proper name is a Kid's Fry. A Happy Meal comes with a Kid's Fry, and apples. The Mighty Kids Meal comes with a Small Fry and Apples. If you want no apples you can get a small fry instead of the kids fry, with the happy meal.

Also, the double cheesburger was replaced by the McDouble, which was mentioned in the Article, but then not fixed in the paragraph following, which states it is still the traditional item used in the U.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.17.89.115 (talk) 00:11, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Roast Beef Sandwich section

I moved the entire section on this product, as it was an unsourced comment that belongs on the talk page, as you can see:

• Roast Beef Sandwich: I worked new products for McDonald's between 1967 and 1969. We tested four versions of the roast beef sandwich. The first was an exact replica of the Arby's roast beef sandwich. It involved roasting beef which has to be done a few hours before rushes. It was an operational nightmare. We then switched to a precooked whole roast which was reheated in a warm oil bath which the Director of Product Development, Dick Walther, labeled a tepidarium. It was similar to a fryer and developed by Prince Castle. A thermal probe went into a roast which was then lowered on a lift into the tepidarium. One the roast reached the proper temperature it automatically rose from the tepidarium. Less stress on the operation, but still required cooking too far in advance to control quality. The third version was horrible and didn't last long. Portions of beef were presliced and quick frozen by a processor. They were then thawed on location in a refrigerator. When a sandwich was ordered it was heated with hot steam. Really, really bad, but operationally simple. The final version was also manufactured single portions. Beef roasts were wrapped in cryovac and cooked in a water bath. They were then sliced in placed in single portion film bags along with a beef gravy. At the McDonald's, the bags were reconstituted in the Tepidarium 2 - a warm water bath. All the previous buns had been sesame seed hamburger buns. This time we used a small, rectangular Italian roll. We found a toaster that cooked inside out. The rolls would be cut in half. When a roast beef sandwich was ordered, an employee would slide the half bun onto the tongue of the toaster, creating a toasted pocket inside the bun. While the bun was toasting he would cut open the bag. When the roll was ready the employee would take the warm beef, dripping with gravy, and using tongs stuff the beef into the toasted pocket. This sandwich was an acquired taste - not as good as the first two versions, but the gravy masked the flavor of the beef, so it was ok. Unfortunately the good sandwich, the first one, achieved great sales but was to complicated to fit into the McDonald's operational system. The last two were simple to prepare but did not sell well for obvious reasons.68.238.221.241 (talk) 00:01, 14 December 2012 (UTC)Holly Moore — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.193.19.66 (talk)

I posted the section on the roast beef sandwich. It is fact. How do I get it back as part of the McDonald's product page? HollyEats (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

"Unofficial" products

I removed this section as it is an attempt to reconstruct information that has been deleted previously, either in its own article (McGangBang) or within several different articles. As previously noted, these are trivial in nature and are nothing more than attempts to legitimize internet memes. Additionally, the information was not cited to reliable sources but blogs, personal websites and other sources that do not meet the standards for inclusion on WP. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Abuse

Someone with terrible spelling/grammar edited the article by adding "pink slime" (spelled "pink slim" several times) to the toppings list of several sandwiches. For example, for the hamburger/cheeseburger, they edited the description to the poorly written "the pickle was removed and pink slime was add". I have deleted them. Although I may have missed a few. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.51.159.247 (talk) 10:53, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Group by country?

Should the products be grouped by country they are sold in? Or should each country have its own article to stop this article getting absolutely massive with past and present products from each country McDonalds sells in? Squitchtweak (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2017 (UTC)Squitchtweak

by country wouldn't be sufficient, given various regional offerings in countries like America.21:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)2601:40C:8300:1D35:50EA:B5A4:EC7:722 (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Was this article written by McDonald's marketing department?

Serious question. Why else would it be almost completely unsourced, and include only the high-margin items? Kendall-K1 (talk) 17:25, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

McPizza is completely discontinued

A few years back McDonald's announced that they were permanently discontinuing the pizzas as the last two locations that still served them. Customers still had a few months to buy them. In response, The Daily Mail published a clickbait article about the length of time they were available for. This article makes the restaurants look like they were not discontinuing their products. The bad article should be dropped as a source. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3485418/Grab-slice-action-two-McDonald-s-selling-MCPIZZA-product-widely-scrapped-1990s.html) There is already a comment on the page for Pomeroy, Ohio that there is no pizza being sold at the local McDonald's. Note the media coverage that was done properly in response to the same press release. (http://nbc4i.com/2017/09/01/mcdonalds-quits-serving-mcpizza-in-pomeroy-ohio-and-spencer-west-virginia) This reference is from a reliable source. The article is from a local television station out of Columbus, the state capitol. Note to other editor: Stop trying to revert edits that are ALREADY CITED. You just spent half an hour edit-warring with me to try to be right instead of reading the very first comment on your talk page. 2602:306:311F:13B0:60D9:DB5E:FD2F:9F7F (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Why don't you just use the source from Pomeroy, Ohio in this article? All I requested from you was a source. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:10, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

I didn't spend half an hour edit warring. I spent like 2 minutes removing unsourced content and then you came to my page and we are discussing this like adults. All of our problems can be solved if you just copy and paste the source from Pomeroy, Ohio and add it to this article since, as you say, the Daily Mail is not a reliable source. I really don't see why this is a big deal, all I wanted was a source. This is really a very small issue. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Use of the term 'entrée'

A lot of this article uses the term entrée to mean 'main course'. Outside of the US, that's either an obscure term or a ridiculous misuse. While McDonald's is a US-centred franchise, their restaurants exist in a lot more countries than the re-purposing of 'entrée' to mean 'main' does. It would make a lot more sense to change all these uses to a more global term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.80.35.232 (talk) 07:19, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

I've changed one mention of entree to main course but under the happy meal section it is fine to leave it as is because it then explains what the entree is and that should remove any confusion. Generically Named (talk) 17:49, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Re-organise page into core menu and non-core menu items

McDonalds organises it's menu in such a way that it has core menu items (think Quarter Pounder, Big mac etc.) and promotional items like the McRib. Quite a few items mentioned in the Hamburger section fall into the promotional category and I'd like to suggest the page be split as such. Are there any reasons why this would not be preferable on Wikipedia? Generically Named (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Mustard In New York burgers?

Is it true that NY Macdonald burgers come without mustard? It's mentioned several times in the article, but there is no reference approving that rather than tge New York Post. Can anyone from New York confirm this statement? Damghani (talk) 11:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Under section 6.2 Sides, a section dedicated McDonald's original french fries should be made. Their fries are characteristic of the franchise so they should have their own proper description. The added section should be inserted as 6.2.1 Fries, moving 6.2.1 Loaded Fries to 6.2.2 Loaded Fries. Within the 6.2 Sides paragraph in the first bullet, the information "Until 1967, French Fries were never frozen, but were cut on-site from potatoes and immediately fried." should be removed as it has no citation and would be more appropriately placed under the fires paragraph to be added. Below is the paragraph corresponding to the new section 6.2.1 Fries.

Fries

McDonald's advertises their french fries as their World Famous Fries. McDonald's fries are made using 19 ingredients which include dextrose, TBHQ, polydimethylsiloxane, citric acid, and sodium acid pyrophosphate. As for their potatoes, non-GMO Russet and Shepody kinds are used. Fries were first added to the menu in 1949 replacing potato chips.As for the manufacturing process, the potatoes are first brought to the plant where they are mechanically cut, blanched, partially fried, flash-frozen, then shipped to individual restaurants of the franchise and served.

McDonald's small fries.

McDonald's fries were originally prepared using a frying oil mixture of 93% beef tallow and 7% vegetable oil known as Formula 47'. The use of this oil blend allowed McDonald's to develop their fries' distinctive flavor and crispiness. In 1990, McDonald's was pressured into switching to frying oil that was entirely vegetable oil due to the National Heart Savers Association's campaign against saturated fats. The new oil used a natural beef flavor additive. Then in 2007, the restaurant franchise switched again to a vegetable oil with less trans fats as concerns over the health risks of trans fats grew.

turnovers?

They're not traditional slices of a large pie, but they darn sure aren't turnovers either, turnovers are more wedge shaped then MCd's pies. If anything they're more like pocked pies, like Hot Pockets or the not warm Hostess pies. But I don't know the term, just they certainly aren't turnovers. You want a fast food turnover, go to Arby's.21:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40C:8300:1D35:50EA:B5A4:EC7:722 (talk)

The original Apple & Cherry Pies from McDonald's, were deep-fried turn-overs, I believe. But obviously that would not be the correct terminology to describe the peculiar hybrid, Apple & Cherry (and Pumpkin, etc.) dessert items presently offered by McDonald's.

Chicken L.T.

Why is the Chicken L.T. not listed anywhere? It was introduced around 1987... see this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhGqYO1p1XI . I remember loving that sandwich. They keep changing the buns and new delux line is terrible - price and quality are not good. THe classics are the best. 67.140.235.175 (talk) 19:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Shake flavors (Raspberry, and...others?)

The section on this seems pretty good, but perhaps not entirely complete. One flavor I do recall (and one that is omitted from the article at this time), is Raspberry. The McDonald's in Los Gatos, California (on Los Gatos Boulevard), offered Raspberry (in addition to the Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry standards) all year long. The exception being at those times when the Shamrock Shake or whatnot was being offered; at those times Raspberry would be temporarily phased out in order to accommodate the seasonal flavor, and then when they were done selling Pumpkin, Eggnog, etc., they would resume offering Raspberry as their 4th flavor. Raspberry was thus offered probably about 2/3rds of time, during any given year, I'd estimate.

I don't know how typical this arrangement was/is among McDonald's stores, but the Los Gatos store definitely did that for more than a decade, and probably more than two decades.
