why on earth would you want to drink almost a full liter of soda in one sitting
You mean 100ml Soda +900ml+ as ice cubes
I do it on the daily 😂
Open the bottle and drink 😉
@@DSP16569 lol, you can serve your own soda here in Canada, meaning all soda no ice is a possibility. You can also order no ice at a drive-thru
True 😂😂
@@dspl1991 in one go? how many L of soda do you drink in a day?
Love seeing Americans watch this, every single one of them goes out of their way to justify the serving sizes and laundry list of chemicals in the food 😂
Lol yea I’ve noticed that too 😂
Haha that is true!!
@Matthew Harrup Thats what reaction is. You pause the video and talk your opinion, if you want to watch without stopping just watch original.
Yes but you Europeans think that we eat at McDonald's 5 or more times a week it seems like lol. This is not the case for like 98% or more of the population while I am sure that there are people who do eat it many times a week as it is convenient it isn't as much of a staple food as it is believed to be in Europe.
@@kennethmasters9329 you can blame US media for that, all the programs and films, even news articles that are exported globally from the States makes it seem like 80% of Americans live solely on a McDees diet.
And then there're reactions like this, although amusing defends the food which everybody knows is terrible for you, it doesn't really help your cause I'm afraid!
“Natural beef flavouring”
“You hear that? Natural!”
It’s not natural for fries to taste like beef, nothing about that is natural 😂
So a vegan in the USA can't even have fries .. poor
I like how the "natural Beef flavouring" contains milk and wheat.
plot twist: The fries are made from beef.
I would love that plot twist. 😅😂
@@Vampirzaehnchen Plot twist : Originaly, fries were cooked in beef fat and they still are in Belgium
@@jimfichter7246 I was about to say that. 100% true and tastes way better.
Tyler, you are missing the point. American McDonald's may be more tasty but its because of the additives. Large portions may look normal to you but its making youngsters eat and drink far more than they should. Just wait till your little one grows up and you take them to McDonald's. Let me rephrase that, when you refuse to take him/her to McDonald's. The only thing natural in that clip was UK fries. Potato and oil.
Many people who have compared UK and US McDonald's have said the US version is rank.
Man.. you let us Europeans look Boring...🤣
I don't think he missed that point?
From all the people who i have heard ate at McDonalds or Burger King in the US.... they always said the US fast food chains offer a low quality version of the food they are used to
His name is Ryan, not Tyler, lol but yes agree 😂
The us and Europe approach to what you eat and are willing to put in your body are just sooo different. Hard for me to understand the ignorance
Yeah. One of them just don't want you to die in the next 10 years. That's pretty much it.
The way UK McDonalds sees it, if their foods are healthier than the American ones, the extra years you live = more McDonald's you can buy. 😂 In USA if you eat all those chemicals often, you will get cancer, and you will die, then you can't buy anymore McDonalds. 🤔
A lot of ingredients in US food are banned here in the UK.
Whilst the UK was a member of the EU a lot of rules regarding food were brought into force Europe wide.
A lot of the chemicals in US food such as the fries cause cancer or other diseases and therefore are banned here. Food is required to pass much stricter regulation here in the UK with regard to ingredients.
Yeah and not only does many ingredients in the US cause cancer, but they also effect you neurologically.
@@EEmB ... * affect
Yeah, now enjoy your poisoned food again. Good luck with eating at McDo's. It's tzhe same crap as in the U.S. now.
You wished for more freedom. That's part of it. Your government doesn't care about you and your health.
Happy we got rid of you special sauce asshats.
Some of it is also about correct labeling. In order to sell something as cheese for example it has to be, well... cheese. In the US you can sell "cheese" that's only about half cheese, and half something else. The same applies to these fries. None of those ingredients in the US Mac fries are banned. They're just not french fries. They're potato sticks drenched in chemicals, but that's kind of hard to sell.
Is it 8 spiders in a jar of jam?
However in the Uk we don't allow ingredients which have known links for causing cancer and we don't add corn syrup to everything.
Yeah but when EU regulations are lifted it will go the American way, cheap and nasty rather real food
@@scarba They would still have to get it past the British Food Standards which is just as strict as the European if not more so in some cases.
@@stuartfaulds1580 that’s great if it works out that way. I remain sceptical till proven otherwise though.
@@scarba True, with the way the Tories are self-destructing at the moment
@@stuartfaulds1580 yep no it's really not... plenty of restrictions have already been lifted for foods and drugs to get cheaper imports... and from what it looks like chlorinated chiken isn't the only thing coming our way
An incredibly defensive reaction!! As an English woman I find it shocking that you are totally nonplussed about the (unnecessary) ingredients in the majority of the US food and drinks. I tend to have the Mcplant burger at McDonalds which is near identical taste wise to the beef burgers.
So true.. the reaction is very very defensive.. Also.. I dont understand why add beef flavor to fries.. fries are supposed to be JUST potatoes and salt unless you are selling them AS flavored fries.
@@deepti1709 It's because they were originally fried in beef tallow, but when they switched to seed oils they wanted the same flavour people were used to. Just for the record, chips/fries fried in beef dripping taste great. It's how old-school UK fish and chips were made.
From UK perspective. For me visiting a fast food restaurant is something one does one or two times a month or less so it's supposed to have lots of calories, it's a treat not a food staple. To be honest, the last time I had fast food was a pizza delivery about 3 months ago because I couldn't be bothered to cook.
Agree completely - I always consider fast food to be just that a treat ..
I always consider McDonald's to be somewhere to take kids for a treat once or twice a year - possibly after a day out or the cinema.
@@gillianrimmer7733 Same...I feel like in the US its a daily event to eat McDonalds or some other form of fast food....Certainly when I was a child my parents made us a packed lunch if we were out for the day a McDonalds was a birthday treat usually
Yes, I agree... You don't exactly get your 'FIVE A DAY' at McD's - LOL !!!
Agreed. I last had a McDonald's possibly 3 months ago, my last Chinese was in May for my birthday.. The last Chinese before that was the previous May, because it's so expensive and so unhealthy, we do not eat it often. - while the McDonald's is cheap it's still incredibly unhealthy so best kept as a treat
US cookies = UK biscuits
US biscuits = UK scones
Scones are not a breakfast food here. They are a savoury treat usually eaten with jam and cream with tea.
And you may have larger drinks sizes, but they are usually chock full of ice meaning you probably have less drink than in the UK. It's known how US food is jacked full of junk that we don't don't have in the UK.
We have sugar tax this is why we have better sizes on drinks and your food in 🇺🇸has too much chemical we have food laws for this reason to protect our health as we have the NHS 🇬🇧👌🙏❤️
the US does have scones and they are not similar to US biscuits which are flakey, US scones are more dense
most people want alot of ice in their drinks but you can ask for no ice or little ice (no problem) but refills are free so no big deal
as for list of excess ingredients, probably so but how many countries required every single ingredient no matter how much to be listed, there need to be more clarification
If there's jam and cream it's not savory though is it 😂😂 Also there's a definite difference in recipe between UK scones and US biscuits, although they do look similar.
@@_Professor_Oak but the US does have scones too and they are not similar to the US biscuits, i wish people would forget about the US biscuits and tell me if US scones are similar to UK scones?
No way you put food in scones only creamans jam lol
Trust me, it is much more expensive in the UK. They don’t make it easy for you to put that chemical filled junk in your body. It’s much cheaper to buy groceries at the supermarket 😁
And they obviously pay their full time employes a living wage I assume
And it's usually adults working, not kids. So hourly wage is like £10-12 an hour or something. I know KFC pays very well as my half sister works there part-time, couple days a week and she's bringing home £300 a week, so unless KFC has opened a brothel... 😂
McDonalds in the UK is incredibly cheap compared to the rest of Europe... Germany for example is almost double the price on some items... the UK definitely going downhill faster and faster since brexit
As a Swede I was so excited that I was going to try McDonald's when I was in the US and see how much it differs. But then with you guys having MILK in the fries (!?), and even more "hidden" milk, as I can't have that, I couldn't do it ☹ So disappointed.
I have tried McDonald's in a few countries and been surprised how different they taste. Australian McDonald's have been the best if the ones I've tried, imo!
Are you saying that such miniscule traces of milk will affect you that bad?
@@metallboy25if someone is allergic then yes. Even just touch-contamination can cause an allergic reaction up to anaphylaxis. Not everyone who can’t have milk has just an intolerance!
The US prioritises the way the food LOOKS at all costs over the quality (not the taste but how good it is for you), even if that means putting all kinds of chemicals in it to make it an appealing colour or shape or whatever. As a result, you’re accustomed (conditioned) to expecting something to look a certain way and assume it is superior. Weirdly enough 😮, ACTUAL chips (fries) made of potatoes, salt and oil taste great, and don’t need added ingredients that mess with the body’s metabolism.
Sir after watching videos on USA food I will pass
I've been to the US on holiday and I was very surprised when I went to McDonald's. I ordered the kids meals as they are much closer to the portion sizes that I'm used to. 😕👌👍
So don’t leave us hanging - what toy did you get?! :P
I think it was one of the aliens from Toy Story. Don't quote me but I pretty sure that's correct. It was back in 2007 when I went. 🤔
250ml is the right size soda for me, I even struggle to finish a standard 330ml size can of soda. I like soda, but somewhere between 250 and 330ml I start to feel the soda on my teeth and I don’t like that feeling
US sizes are ridiculous 😂
US people's size is ridiculous as well. 🤷
I’m from the Netherlands and have been in the US and the fries and Big Mac tasted so much better there 😂😂 But yeah, all those extra ingredients make it even worse for your health of course 😅
As a Belgian of course your fries taste bad.
(... I didn't taste Dutch fries, but I know the German and French one are awfull with their one passage in vegetable oil instead of the double passage in animal fat)
I'm also from teh Netherlands and I really disliked the US foods including the burger and fries from McDonalds. You can taste how fake it is compared to our McDonalds. Then again don't really McDonalds, much rather have something from a cafetaria/snackbar.
@@Suztvfan I also didn't like the US mcdonald's. The burgers tasted like the sole of a shoe. To much cola and you see people go for a refill when they had a large one. 😵.
@@cookie856 In the UK our fries are vegan friendly.
Go and try the fries in any Belgian "frietkot". 😀
The term "biscuit" comes from the french and means "twice cooked" (bis-cuit). It's supposed to be a bit dry and crusty so you have to dunk them in your tea, coffee, hot chocolate or whatever to soften them before eating. Of course centuries have passed since then and many recipes spread out throughout the world and evolved so now you can find softer biscuits like the Financier (made out of almond powder, flour, butter, sugar and beaten eggwhites so it's not dry but still very dense) but still, in France a scone is not considered a biscuit. And a cookie is a type of biscuit. The term "biscuit" is more like a category.
You know all this makes it harder for foreigners to learn to speak english, right? Because we have to check all the differences between UK english and US english depending on where we go and who we talk to. Sooo time consuming.
I am from Spain and I would be embarrassed to eat at a McDonald's with the rich and tasty cuisine we have. In the last 40 years I have only been to one once and it was because my little daughter was invited to a birthday party, I only drank a coffee and had diarrhea all day. Even the coffee is bad, bad like Starbucks.
I'm in Greece and we almost do not go to McDonalds, it's like in the states they called, The gteasy spoon.
Italy here and seriously even thinking about going to take coffe at Mc Donald or Starbucks feels like heresy. There are so many places that make better tasting, healthier food for half the price
Could be lactose intolerance, if you rarely drink milk.
He said coffee... No latte (not a coffee) or mokah chatte latte blah blah)
Coffee in Europe is just black coffee generally
@@depressedutchman I'm assuming this is a reply to my comment. I'm from Europe, too, but not from Spain. I drink black coffee, but I know several people who add milk to their morning coffee, and still call it coffee. The word coffee is used to refer to all kinds of different drinks made with coffee.
FYI Propylene glycol used in American Mc D's is a liquid alcohol which is used as a solvent, in antifreeze, and in the plastics, and perfume industries. yum..🤢
Anti freeze is actually made using ethylene glycol, not propylene glycol - totally different chemicals. Propylene glycol is used in smoke machines & e-liquids.
I stand by what i said. And still would not want that crap in my food.
Propylene glycol
Propylene glycol is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol and may be labeled as "non-toxic antifreeze". It is used as antifreeze where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes where incidental ingestion may be possible. For example, the U.S. FDA allows propylene glycol to be added to a large number of processed foods, including ice cream, frozen custard, salad dressings, and baked goods, and it is commonly used as the main ingredient in the "e-liquid" used in electronic cigarettes. Propylene glycol oxidizes to lactic acid.
Besides cooling system corrosion, biological fouling also occurs. Once bacterial slime starts to grow, the corrosion rate of the system increases. Maintenance of systems using glycol solution includes regular monitoring of freeze protection, pH, specific gravity, inhibitor level, color, and biological contamination.
Propylene glycol should be replaced when it turns a reddish color. When an aqueous solution of propylene glycol in a cooling or heating system develops a reddish or black color, this indicates that iron in the system is corroding significantly. In the absence of inhibitors, propylene glycol can react with oxygen and metal ions, generating various compounds including organic acids (e.g., formic, oxalic, acetic). These acids accelerate the corrosion of metals in the system.
Yeah, and ethanol is a liquid alcohol that is used in perfumes, disinfectants, cosmetics, car fuel, as a general solvent in lots of cleaning products, also used in de-icer and antifreeze and much more. Also proven to increase all sorts of cancer risks.
And yet people love their beer, wine and liquor.
"🤢"
I covered a local UK McDonalds for a press story last year. The portion size is regimented down to the gram. Every drip of sauce, chip etc. There is zero variance to be consistent.
Yeah they put like 3 drops of sauce in my local McDonald's. 😂
Your body is used to eating a lot of sugar, preservatives and additives and thinks its the natural taste of food. You would do well to lose the silly sarcastic attitude and consider the health of yourself and your family. Its not just about you and how much you eat. As long as you consume rubbish you will be fed rubbish. Its cheap and addictive and they're making a fortune in the process, so why would it change?
"hello beautiful British people" while me as German sneaked in :D.
But I love the UK aswell :)
I live in Norway and I go to McD maybe 3-4 times a year, it’s so much cheaper to cook yourself than eating out, I mean a meal at McD in Norway would cost between 10-15$ and dinner at home would be soo much cheaper:) (and healthier)
Belguim, uhm i think back in 2004 a big menu was about 9 to 10 euros?
Last tile i ate a meal there :-). But only partial inflation would put that at above 15 euros now.. to much money for wat to crappy food, calling it to yourselve junkfood instead of fast food helps to avoid it more ;-)
American biscuits are not really a thing in the U.K. we have something similar (but not the same) which is called a scone. They are usually topped with Jam and cream. Some are plain, some have dried fruit and we also have a savoury one which is made with cheese in.
The US biscuit is like a UK dumpling, but where as we normally cook them on top of a stew, the americans cook them like bread. Scones are usually flavoured sugar/herbs/cheese/dried fruit. As far as I know, the US 'biscuit' is ONLY in the US and in most countries first to be replaced with a local-style bread product that customers recognise.
I was also thinking of the dumpling too. Are US biscuits made from suet too?
Yes, the US 'biscuits' are savoury; while the UK 'scones' are sweet - although they look similar the texture is also different. A popular dish in the US is 'Biscuits and Gravy...' DUH!!!
What do we call biscuits? He literally just told you
I'm fine with paying higher prices in Europe. Lowering the chance of dying on cancer is worth it.
HI RYAN
DEBBIE HERE FROM SOUTH WALES
I think the UK version of McDonalds is better because we use less ingredients on average, but I still think they are rubbish food and totally not worth wasting money on them. I hate French fries, I much prefer proper UK chips.
Whenever I used to go to McDonalds I always used to ask for the cola, for example, without the ice as I was then getting more cola in my cup, and off course I do not like ice in my cola as it dilutes it and makes it weak and very watery YUK!!!!
I will never understand how Americans we constantly try and justify the absolute garbage they eat and drink, “it looks better” “it tastes better”! You are eating and probably feeding your kids absolute crap that is doing a ridiculous amount of damage.
I can only hope and pray that you are just being sarcastic in trying to justify the ridiculous amounts of crap you consume.
As US biscuits have buttermilk as an ingredient and we in the UK rarely cook with buttermilk I don't think there is really an equivalent in the UK. It's a little like corn bread there is nothing like that in the UK.
While we in the UK and Europe may have smaller sizes for a similar price the difference goes in what McDonalds pay their staff in Europe compared to the US is what makes up the difference. To be honest I would rather have a slightly healthier (if you could say that about McDonalds) meal where the people serving me might have a slightly better life. I'm also happy that I don't have food stuffed with ingredients that are addictive and make me want to go back for more.
In Czechia (also in Europe just like UK), we have the McSundae, McFlurry and some of the sauces.. I also think we have iced coffee variations, but I'm not quite sure since I preffer to make my own coffee at home
We also have the Chicken Selects(dippers) in the UK.
Sorry Ryan, but, to be honest I don't eat McDonald's food. To me the burgers are tasteless, the salad soggy and worst of all the French fries are just - yukky
Britain 🇬🇧 doesn’t put crap in the food unlike america. In Britain biscuits are biscuits, cookies are cookies and crackers are crackers, your biscuits are not biscuits here.
Not only Britain
Not for long. Remember the Brexit campaigns against EU regulations? Your new Tory prime minister will be glad to make any change that benefits businesses and hurts the Brits.
There are also no free refills on drinks in the UK. The lids have the bump in the top so the liquid doesn't overflow out of the lid.
Natural flavour just means that it is sourced from nature (aka extracted from something) in contrast to being created in a lab. Natural flavours are cheaper (most of the time) and sound better. for instance there is tree bark that smells like strawberry -> Bam natural strawberry flavouring.
yeap and taste like it or nothing. so up into everything with straberry flavour, just add a few piece of strawberry in it for the look and the feeling. but the flavour comes form bark. oh and the pinikisch colour comes form a lice... also naturall so natrual flaouvor and color, but not from a strawberry.
@@redzora80I know Carmine is extracted from bugs, but I dont think its lice, specifically.
@@metallboy25 in german it's called lice. Schildlaus. And some other lice. They are bugs. But bugs are mostly any insect.
He did say it, you're not listening. he said "We call biscuits SCONES"
This Aussie is not keen on a Macca's burger, my once a month burger is from a local fish and chip/ takeaway joint 🤤 good tucker
Totally agree, although I’m lucky enough to live near Alfred’s Kitchen in Perth Australia. It rates a mention in Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet and twice I’ve directed tourists there. Def beat Macca’s by a country mile.
Yeah, about that coffee thing, we don't really drink coffee at McDonalds. The coffee there tastes pretty standard and is more expensive than at any coffee shop. And baked goods are better at other places too
The UK guy just literally explained what we call 'biscuits'.We call them 'scones' (pronounced either scon or scone - like cone, depending on on where you come from) and serve them with jam and cream as what we call a 'cream tea'. We don't eat them with savoury fillings- but they are sometimes put as a topping on a dish of stewed meats, hen they are called 'cobblers'.
Ah nice man thanks for reacting to our video! Great stuff.
Why would you want all the extra chemicals in your food just to make it look better !?
We DO have McFlurrys !
What's BUTTERMILK ?
Sauces are free in the UK.
We have the Bacon or Sausage ,Egg McMuffin for breakfast meals.
We don't have your " biscuits" at all in the UK. ,not just at McDs.
What you can biscuits we call scones and are eaten with butter, jam and clotted cream as part of an Afternoon Tea.
What you call cookies we call biscuits.
Buttermilk is the liquid left over from cream when butter is made. It’s great for making scones. We do have buttermilk here in the U.K. usually found in the cream aisle. It’s got an amazing creamy taste.
Buttermilk is love, buttermilk is life🙌. Drive over to Germany and get some.
Like Werthers buttermilk candies..
I'm a big woman & was amazed at US food portions. Mum & me couldn't even get through 1/2 of the "regular" portions.
iam not sure that "iam a woman" means anything to americans these days, they are not certain about what that means :D

I was in the US only once and I couldn't get used to the tap water. We have chlorine (that much, at that!) only in swimming pools, so drinking it felt like drinking water straight from a public swimming pool.....
😂😂😂 I am happy to pay the same or more for healthiest food!!
You don’t get soda drinks in US just Ice with 20% soda till fill up the gaps 😉😉😂😂😂
A lot of chemicals in US food are banned over here. I think it’s sad that the bigger portions and extra ingredients to make the fries look yellower are things Americans are ok with. It’s setting your standards low for food.
I can't say I've really noticed a massive difference between Macca's in the US and UK other than whenever I eat anything from one in the US I feel sick afterwards. Tastes good though.
Id say being ill after eating american mcdonalds counts a difference and probably a big one at that too.
Because your body has a low tolerance to the dodgy shit they put in their food 😂😂
Why would you want to make comparisons between two different countries that have the misfortune of having a McDonald's fast food chain? I cannot remember the last time I set foot in such an establishment. When I did, it was full of kids shouting and screaming at their parents, not a place I would choose to go and eat for an evening out. Sorry not a fan, but to each their own I guess,
NOBODY goes inside anymore. remember covid? drive through is what people do here in the US. if you don't like the screaming of your own kids, your own problem :) No, seriously, some places have the actual "restaurant" closed now, only the drive through is open. May also be a staffing issue nowadays.
The UK section is not comprehensive at all (the video was filmed when they were running a reduced menu due to COVID). It's missing all of the breakfast options (including a bunch of exclusives), the desserts, and the seasonal options at that point were utter shit.
Yeah, like where is my bacon roll..
FYI: Hydrogenated anything oil is basically margarin. When you hydrogenate vegetable oil, it solidifies, and that's what's sold in stores as margarin, the non-butter butter.
Xanthan gum in the sauce is ...densifier. It's flavorless, and It's the main ingredient in chewing gum, and it's the thing that actually makes it into a gum. When you add less of it into a thing, it just makes the thing more dense, more "saucy", less "liquid-y".
That showcases the problem with calling it a "natural flavor". This only means that the flavor in itself can be found naturally, not that the ingredients you currently have in your mouth have to be natural. A bubble gum with "natural flavor" can have apple, any kind of berry flavor, or mint, because those are things that are found in nature (as opposed to, say: energy drink or cola flavor). The chemicals responsible for the flavor can be pure processed artificial additives and never even been in the same building as the thing they are emulating.
Your cold drinks is mainly ice there is no ice in ours so it's not watered down like yours
How many times can someone pause a video
i bet he could pause it more, but there is always the option to watch the original video without interruption. for a reaction i expect pauses. but then, i may be weird....
Oh don't get me wrong I expect pauses on a reaction video after all that's what they are, but just count the amount of times paused before just talking about the drinks.
This is super crazy 😜 the lack of crap in U.K. MacDonalds is a joy. Sizes and just what shit is in US fries is banned in the U.K./US. Ours is potatoes oil and salt. Fresh Maccy D’s fries in the U.K. are the best! The wraps are gorgeous chicken and sweet chilli 🌶
I prefer the Taco Bell fries. I like the seasoning.
The best thing to do is find a British McDonalds menu, as they haven’t shown everything you can get here.
Also a ‘biscuit’ is known as a scone in the UK and is usually sweet or savoury 🙂
McDonalds fries in the US are neither gluten-free nor suitable for vegans, whereas the UK ones are. And the video goes to show exactly why Americans have an obesity crisis that's been going on for decades.
PS my local McDonalds is next door to a gym.
UK cups look bigger because for small its 250ml of soda after the ice is added but the US cup is 473ml but as 50% of that will be ice you wont get 473ml of drink in there. so a small drink in the US if you have ice is actually pretty close to the UK 250ml the only way you win is to order with no ice, of course no one in America can drink a drink without ice can they.
More soda? Probably not, more ice for certain! If I want melted water, I'll get some from the tap.
i would rather skip a meal than have a McDonald's ''meal''.
What you have to understand Ryan, is that your companies produce "food" at minimum cost. Your fries are dehydrated powder mixed with water and shaped like a fry. Your burger has "beef" with "enhancers" "tenderisers" chemicals and antibiotics -hate to think how the cattle live .Your chicken is washed in chlorine to make it edible, so yea they give you more! In Europe, food regulations are tough not written for the benefit of companies but are rigorously enforced by government. So our food is real food and therefore more nutritious, so we dont need two peoples meals as one. Plus McDonalds dont pay well in the USA-so even more money for your greedy bosses. You live in a totalitarian state run for and by big business
the domed top of the UK lid makes it so you can stick your straw in without liquid coming out. i hate the flat lids of drinks here in the US.
A: How much copium are you in a single video?
Ryan: YES!!!
Ryan, we call cookies, biscuits, the fluffy biscuits that you have are closest to what we call scones which are sweet and traditionally are served with jam (jelly) and clotted cream.
Ryan literaly seconds after the brittish guy in the video answered this exact question "But what do you guys call biscuits?!!" PAY ATTENTION! 🤣
Not all calories are created equal, Tyler. If you ate that number of calories but in healthy, unprocessed carbs and protein, you would not put the weight on like you would with this stuff. The body doesn’t know what to do with some of those chemicals, which is why these types of food are known to interfere with the body’s natural instinct to know when it’s had enough.
This is an American desperately trying to make US McDonald's sound good.
From April to May, McDonald's in Germany will be serving burgers with white asparagus. At times it was sold out. I don't think it exists in other countries.
That sounds DELICIOUS!!
And we (in Germany) have McRip the whole year 🙂
Sounds great! You could pick out the asparagus and throw the burger away
Beetroot in burgers is big in Australia, Maccas has had to copy burgers at fish and chip shops in offering it to keep market share
About the lid. I think it's because when you push a straw into an american lid, drink will leak out. But when the lid is up a bit it doesnt flow out.
Where I live a small soda is $2.4, medium is $3 and a large $3.4… and those are the same sizes as UK.
A small fries is $2.3, medium is $2.7 and large is $3.1.
A big mac burger is actually only $4, a big mac menu is $11 and if you want large menu it is $12.
Nuggets: six nuggets = $4, nine nuggets = $7, 20 nuggets = $11.5.
Nuggets menus: $10 for six, $11 for nine and $14 for 20… add $1 for large size.
Quarter pounder = $7.
We pay the same as you for smaller portions because our ingredients have to be sourced from within the country where we have strict regulations for safety and health. I’m okay paying for that if I can be sure that I can indulge in fast food that won’t make me sick if I eat it once or twice a month.
In a Mces here there are seldom 15 year olds making your food, most are adults, that get paid enough money to survive. Also okay if my money goes to that. Haven’t tasted American Mces but our fries and Big Macs are very delicious, so I’ll take that.
What the Americans call biscuits are actually scones, you have your biscuits on dinners with gravy! To us scones are part of a cream tea, scones with jam and cream. Absolutely delicious. 😋
You should open a P.O. Box, so people can send you some British snacks to try
In the Czech Republic we got most stuff similar to the UK regardless of sizes, sadly we got minimum to no specialties special for CZE McDonald....
I had a McDonald's once........never to be repeated!
I have never seen or heard anyone talk about mac donald's that positively xD
We do have breakfast McDs , lots of stuff you get in the UK weren’t mentioned here
Yup... Just another video that reinforces my dislike of everything Mcdonalds that isn't ice cream... Granted it could just be the lighting but all the food in that video looks disguisting especially the fries, they should not look radioactive yellow.
The wraps are the only McDonald's item I am willing to eat (and the fries).
So glad you called the salad in America unhealthily. I don’t get why so many Americans think that salad is healthy. It’s full of fat and salt and sugar.
This is a relatively well know trick in fast-foods. Large cup is significantly larger than small, but small is filled to full and large has a ton of air. They can't be accused for false advertising, because they give you the portion sizes on the menu, but it doesn't even matter because most people won't notice how much they drink, only the size of the cup in their hand.
Not really true, it’s not a “trick” each cup has a fill line and if the staff are trained properly then you will get the right amount in each cup. Source: was a manager at McDonald’s for 6 years
Most McDonald's in the US have the drink machine outside the kitchen, so you can put as much ice as you want and fill it up as you want, plus free refills. Unless of course you go through the drive thru😉
Hello from Germany.
I went to Burger King once as a kid and almost threw up because it tasted so disgusting.
At MC Donalds, I only like the chicken nuggets. Everything else either doesn't taste good or has very little taste in itself.
If I want to eat a good burger, I make it myself. It looks and tastes much better than anything I get at MC Donalds.
Over here, after scooping the fries from the fryer to the frybox, the staff weighs it, making sure that he weight is consistent and it follows the set amount. So it doesnt depend on the staff who scoops them. Also, here in the Philippines, they dont employ 25 year old kids. All staff are college graduates. So please do not stereotype and generalise
Some of those ingredients I only had a vague idea about what it was because I have studied chemistry at a university level, and I had to google the chemical formula to figure out what it was. As a generalised thought, if the ingredient makes more sense as a chemical formula than its name, I'd say you should probably think twice about eating it.
As someone who's also studied chemistry, I find that comment on thinking twice about eating sth if the chemical formula makes more sense than the name very strange.
A chemical formula should always tell you more about a substance than a trivial name.
I have no experience with chemistry, but just hearing them list the ingredients tells me I dont want that in my body. 😂
If you think McDonald's fries are good, you never had good fries!
We do have McFlurries, so not sure if that’s a particular flavour he has there which we don’t have?
Uk biscuit= Cookie
USA biscuit= Scone
You missed the guy saying that what Brits call biscuits is scones. He also said that they eat them with jam and cream for tea.
We appreciate our coffee without extra sugar, caramel and whipped cream. And it's supposed to be hot. A regular latte is just perfect.
Honestly, since i have learned about US working conditions and especially about US sick leave, I would never consider to eat anything in/from an US restaurant at all. The chance to have someone with any kind of disease working with my food is far to high
There’s exactly one thing I love about the USA. Whenever I try to get rid of my prejudices against it, it just leaves me flabbergasted and with more prejudices
Biscuits are sweet (cookies etc) you dunk them in ya tea and they are bloody lovely! US biscuits (savoury) scones in the UK. Eventually you left us and made them to your taste but none of us are wrong, we all call them what we know. Some good, some BAD but hey live and let live... Great reaction Ryan!
Its always amusing seeing US-Americans defeding all the crap that goes into the (fast) food in the US. Like the fries...............they are suppose to be simple fries, i dont get the point of adding all that crap into it. Tastes better? Even if thats true (which i doubt but whatever), its far worse for your health. Hence one reason why US leads in obesity big time.
Regardless, despite me not eating much fast food at all, when i do i still only go with a Döner instead any day of the week. Rarely chinese but thats about it..........and i am in Germany. Over here, even tho McD's is better than in the US (health wise), i still basically only go to "Döner-Bude". A damn good Döner is simply amazing (and no, i am not turkish or from anywhere near that area).

*American malfunction*
"That's not healthy!"
Bro the air around that table is not healthy 😂😂😂
I mean half of the chemicals used in Macdonald's food is illegal in the UK
The beef flavor in the fries is for flavor. Decades ago the fries were cooked in a mix of vegetable oil and beef tallow.
Their is really not that much difference in the drink sizes because in the US they cram so much ice into your cup that you don't but about half the cup with actual soda.
The medium US cup is 20 ounces, but if you simply get it with the ice they put in it and then get a 12 ounce can of soda you will at best be able to get the 12 ounces in but often you can't fill it with the 12 ounces.
the soda portions are bigger because in the US you get 20% soda 80% ice. In UK and Europe it's 100% soda. Also, in the US you get free refills, so I don't understand why you should pay more for the large size when you can buy a small size and refill it.
Macdonalds is a big scam in both places, in europe we have expensive smallish products with lots of sugar which make you feel hungry so you buy more, in the US the difference is the products are bigger and cheaper but have so much more sugar that creates an even bigger feeling of hunger and addiction wich is one of the big reasons for America's immense percentage of obesity. Hope this information helped 🙏
I'd love to see the price differences.
13:35 That burger is called "Royal TS Cheese" in Germany. The TS stands for tomatoes and salat.
