Fast food restaurants are a quick way to eat, but who says that you can’t be fast and creative? There are a lot of different ways to switch up the normal meals that are on the menu. These are the 18 McDonalds hacks that will definitely change your life.
Want McDonald’s, but not feeling super hungry? Order a Happy Meal and you’ll receive a snack-sized version of McDonald’s McNuggets or a hamburger. If you’re hungry, but just want to save money, order a Mighty Kids’ Meal, which has the option of 6-piece chicken McNuggets; plus, you’ll even get a toy!
If you or your child loves the current toys that McDonald’s is giving out with their meals, tell an employee that you didn’t get one, and more often than not, they’ll give it to you. Just don’t go to the same location in the same day, otherwise they will get suspicious.
Big Mac’s come with two beef patties, so you’ll save you and your friend money if you just order one and split the bill.
McDonald’s especially ones with McCafes are great places to study or get some work done. More often than not, they are less crowded than Starbucks, so it will be easy for you to find a seat and maybe even one next to an outlet for your charger. Plus McDonald’s has great coffee that is inexpensive.
If you need a place to study, but don’t feel like buying anything, order something inexpensive like cookies or a water bottle. If you don’t buy anything, the employees probably won’t notice, but purchasing something will make you feel less guilty.
Don’t feel like cooking or going out to dinner tonight? Go to the drive-thru and order all three meals at once. This way you only have to worry about leaving your house once, you’ll save money and your family will not object to the idea, because who wouldn’t want to eat McDonald’s for every meal?
If you want McDonald’s french fries, but don’t want ones that have been sitting out for a while, order them without salt and the employee will have no choice but to make you a fresh batch.
Maybe it’s just me, but McDonald’s has the best apple juice. They sell the Minute Maid brand, but getting a box with Ronald McDonald on it, makes it taste like the best juice in the world!
The Filet-O-Fish sandwich comes with a steamed bun, unlike the other sandwiches which come with a toasted bun. The steamed bun makes the flavoring of the ingredients more tasty, while the burnt flavoring from the toasted bun, sometimes overpower the other ingredients.
This sandwich is one off the Secret Menu. All you have to do is order a burger, Filet-O-Fish and a McChicken.
One great thing about McDonald’s is that they offer multiple ways that you can get your eggs cooked. Choose from either folded eggs, scrambled eggs, egg whites or freshly cracked eggs. Not all fast food establishments offer such eggcellent options.
Everyone loves eating apple pie a la mode. Ask the employee to blend your Baked Apple Pie into your McFlurry and enjoy drinking your pie.
Have you ever noticed that when you order a soft drink, the employee fills the cup with more ice than drink? Well restaurants do this to save money. If you ask from little to no ice, your drink won’t be ruined by the taste of melted ice.
Not only won’t your pancakes get contaminated with other food items, although there still will be condensation from the takeout container, your pancakes will be get less drenched by the time you eat it after the drive home.
Hungry but don’t want anything that is on McDonald’s menu? Order a slice of cheese on a bun and you got yourself a McGrilled Cheese.
By ordering fresh nuggets, you don’t have to wonder how long the nuggets you’re eating has been sitting in the fryer. Also, fresh nuggets taste crispier too.
Order Hotcakes and a Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfait. All you have to do is spread the yogurt and granola along the pancakes and you got a snack that almost tastes like France.
Every time when people order salads anywhere, they think they’re eating healthy, you know, because of the vegetables, when in fact, the sand dressings are usually fatty. By not using McDonald’s salad dressing and by bringing your own, you can finally tell everyone that you had a healthy meal at McDonald’s.
