McDonald s Worldwide Favorites Menu

McDonald’s is letting you taste what’s on its international menus without having you to look for your passport or check to see if your government issued ID has a gold star on it. With its Worldwide Favorites Menu, you can try for a limited time menu items from far away places, like The Netherlands, Spain, and Australia, and from a not so far away place, Canada.

There are four offerings available:

Stroopwafel McFlurry (The Netherlands): Vanilla soft serve, mixed with a caramel swirl and authentic chopped Dutch Daelmans Stroopwafel caramel waffle cookie pieces.

Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger (Spain): A quarter pound of 100 percent fresh beef topped with thick cut Applewood-smoked bacon, smoky McBacon Sauce, real Gouda cheese, and slivered onions on a freshly toasted sesame seed bun.

Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich (Canada): Available with grilled or crispy all white meat chicken, it’s topped with a tomato & herb sauce, mozzarella cheese, slivered onions, lettuce, and sliced Roma tomatoes on a freshly toasted artisan roll.

Cheesy Bacon Fries (Australia): It’s back. Click here for our review from last year when it made its debut in the U.S. The meaty and cheesy side features McDonald’s World Famous Fries topped with cheddar cheese sauce and chopped Applewood-smoked bacon.

The McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites will be available for a limited time nationwide at participating locations, starting on June 5. Although in some places, they’ve been available for the past week or two.

If you try any of them, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

REVIEW: Mtn Dew Liberty Brew

/ / Reviews / 16 Comments

Mtn Dew Liberty Brew

What is Mtn Dew Liberty Brew?

Honoring all fifty states Dewnited under the Dew Nation flag, this limited edition brew promises to do its country proud by packing each bottle with 50 different flavors and enough Blue #1 to put Old Glory to shame.

How is it?

Much like shave ice in Hawaii, which you can mix and match all kinds of syrups, it’s hard to decipher where one flavor in Liberty Brew ends and another begins. If I had to pick, Blue Raspberry is probably the most prominent one of the bunch, but everything’s so blended together that it’s hard to pick any individual taste out.

Mtn Dew Liberty Brew Glass

Lacking the slight citrus-lime punch featured in regular Mountain Dew, Liberty Brew somehow seems even sweeter by comparison, and no aspect of it made me want to finish my bottle. Actually, it kind of reminds me of a melted Blue Raspberry ICEE, just without the disappointment of anticipating a frozen treat and finding out the machine is broken.

Is there anything else you should know?

This is a drink best enjoyed in one sitting. Despite the cap, it gets flat pretty quickly, and I thought it began to taste unsettlingly close to cough syrup once it wasn’t fizzy anymore.

Conclusion:

Despite its distinctly patriotic branding, I’d skip on offering Mtn Dew Liberty Brew at cookouts and gatherings this summer. Just stick to buying the original stuff.
