I wanted to fill this space with links to all the new products McDonald’s rolled out nationwide this year, but there aren’t any. There were lots of test items and regional products, but nothing available across the country. So instead of links to new products, I’m just going to list insane menu items I hope to see from McDonald’s in 2017.

• Enormous Mac – A burger with six quarter pound all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, pickles, and six slices of cheese on a sesame seed bun with another bun in between every patty.
• Apple Pie Hot Fudge McFlurry – Soft serve with a couple of pumps of hot fudge with a chopped up apple pie blended in.
• McBucket of McNuggets – A McNugget-filled bucket that’s similar in size to a KFC chicken bucket, and it comes with three containers of every dipping sauce.
• Tray o’ Fries – A McDonald’s dine-in tray topped with a layer of McDonald’s French Fries. No take out.
• Eggy McEggface – A breakfast sandwich made with all the ways McDonald’s prepares eggs (round egg, scrambled egg, folded egg, and egg whites).

I feel as if we’ve written more about Subway this year than the previous two years combined. We reviewed the chain’s Corned Beef Reuben and Pumpkin Spice and Apple Pie Cookies. And we posted something about Subway’s new Thick Cut Carved Turkey.

Okay, now that I’ve listed them. It doesn’t look like we’ve covered Subway a lot this year. So let me rewrite the first sentence for accuracy. I feel as if we’ve written more about Subway this year than in 2003.

The Impulsive Buy didn’t exist in 2003, so it’s absolutely correct.

Target offered a number of big time exclusive flavors this year, like Blueberry Pie Oreo Cookies, White Boo-tterscotch M&M’s, and, of course, the biggest of them all, Mint Chip Brownie Larabar.
