Today on Weird History Food wqe are delving deep into the McDonald's menu. Evern deeper than Morgan Spurlock in his investigative film 'Super Size Me!'. We've seen how he meticulously ate everything on the McMenu, but, how exactly did that menu evolve through the years? How did their most famous sandwiches and burgers come to be, and who started it all? Join us as we trace the beginnings of the Big Bac, the Filet-o-fish, and the very humble menu of offerings that McDonald's gave to the world at the very sart!

    I miss the actual Dollar Menu, their salad shakers, the snack wraps, and the all day breakfast. I sure hope it comes back soon.

    What about the Big and Tasty? It was a burger with everything on it, and the beef patty was the biggest sized patty they had on the menu. For the short time I worked at McDonald’s is when they introduced it. I I used to love it. I believe it lasted over a year.

    As a kid growing up in the 80's I have fond, and sometimes painful, memories of the lava filled fried apple and cherry pies.

    you forgot the Bagel breakfast sandwiches. The Steak, Egg, & Cheese is simply fantastic. Glad they brought it back.
  • @Zeplin02
    Their butter milk crispy tenders were so good, I still miss them whenever I eat McNuggets
  • @sergioww1
    Missed the pies, they used to have apple, cherry & blueberry. Also had McDonald Land cookies, and Chocolate Chip ,,they even had hot dogs for a short time.

    Fun Fact: The Cheddar McMelt which failed in the US became McD's best selling burger in Brazil to this day. So much so that all other burgers franchises and local burger joints ALL have a version of it on their menu. It literally changed the culture.

    And Spurlock, a closet alcoholic, passed off his terrible blood work as being caused from Micky Ds. Even the doc in the film couldn't believe it and turns out, rightly so.

    Chicken Selects were my favorite menu item that McDonald's ever did. Also that jalapeno quarter pounder is probably my favorite sandwich they did (beyond McRib).
  • @2short99
    They need to bring back the chicken tenders they were so good!
  • @TyyTheFlyGuy
    I think you missed the Big and Tasty in the list, it was pretty good for those of us who like tomato. The snack wrap was the best thing they've had on the menu though. It sucks when they brought it back it was like twice the price of a mcchicken or mcdouble so defeated the purpose of a supposed "snack". My buddies and I used to get 2 of them for each of us and go hiking or whatever making it a genuinely healthy fast food option cause it wouldn't upset our stomachs and wasn't greasy.

    There's no $1-2-3 any longer. Nothing on the menu is $1. The last item priced at $1 was the soda, and that ended in 2022.

    I have fond memories of eating the Chicken Fajitas with my grandma in the ‘90s at McDonalds. I also loved their premium chicken sandwiches that came on a delicious, thick brown bun during the 2000s.

    Nobody seems to remember the McTeriyaki burger. It was a regular bun with a sausage patty, lettuce, and teryaki mayo sauce. So good! I've only had them at 2 locations: One in Tennesse, and the other in Sasebo, Japan!

    The McDonald's menu song lives rent free in my head, so it's nice to finally see what the heck the McDLT was.
