Hi when I was home in Heidelberg there had wine at McDonald’s I was so surprised that was long ago I am in calif for over 50 years now and love it ♥️♥️🥨🇺🇸
Most popular sauce with Nuggets in Germany is Asian Sweet and Sour. And they do Ice Coffee in Germany, and all of Europe. It's Vanilla Ice cream with freshly made espresso coffee and topped with whipped cream. We do not dilute coffee with plain ice. It's blasphemy.
Yes we tried the sweet and sour sauce a few days ago and liked it too. Maybe Americans like iced coffee because they don't want to drink something hot when it is hot outside but they still want the taste of coffee and the caffeine. Thanks for the comment.
@@trailblazinpeppers That's why here vanilla ice cream is the base ingredient in Eis Kaffee. If you get it in a Gelateria they have cold Espresso prepared to make the perfect Eis Kaffee in a jiffy.
I will never understand why Americans 'drown' their Coke in ice. The drink stays cold long enough here anyway. Ice is water, and is also commonly described as 'profitine' 😉 Why should I pay for frozen water? By the way, at McD in Germany (and not only here) one cup of Coke costs a total of 8 Ct to produce. For what price do they sell it again? Great comparison btw...
Supposedly the colder the drink the lower the sensitivity of the taste buds making the drink not taste excessively sweet. Yes there is a lot of profit made in soft drinks. Thank you for the comment.
That's wrong. You can look up the prices for the Coca Cola Postmix Sirup they use to mix the drinks. In Germany you pay 90€ to mix 65L of Coke, so a 0,5L drink costs them 70 cent. Even if McDonalds gets a massive discount from Coca Cola, they pay around 50 cent for the large cup.
I love the background sounds, so relaxing. you chose a nice setting for a video. but we dont have bacon cheeseburgers, in canada they sell cheeseburgers with a stripe of bacon on top... for the same price... :( do you have it in the US? yea we dont have iced coffee at mcdonalds I believe, all you can get is espresso flavored milkshake. I think the spicy version is called Chicken Burger, which has the red sauce on it. the mcchicken comes with the white mayo type , but I havent been to mcdonalds in ages.
I believe it costs extra to have bacon on the burger. The first time we got an eiskaffee in Germany it was a shock but also a pleasant surprise. Overall we like German McDonald's better. I am curious to try it in other countries in Europe and see the differences.
You can get ice coffee, but for that, you should go to a real cafe, especially to an Italian one, in Germany. There, you will get coffee with ice cream in it. It might taste not like the stuff you are used to, but you can get addicted to that taste...
That sounds delicious. I have noticed that Coffee shops are not very common in Germany or at least around where we live. I guess it is more of an Italian thing.
@@trailblazinpeppers I think You can get confused ... there is a big difference between ICED coffee (the us version) and ICE coffee (the european version). Basically ICED coffee is "just cold coffee" or "coffee with ice cubes" whereas ICE coffee is "coffee with ice cream". The german terms are "Eiskaffee" for ice coffee ... and "geeister Kaffee" for iced coffee (which is not very common or nearly unheared of in germany and mostly europe). Oh, and by the way ... in europe the "diet coke" is called "coke light" because it is not allowed to call it "diet" - so that people could / might assume it's healthy or even like medicine in some way. Free refills are rare because in europe restaurants generate their profit from the drinks - not from the meals. And You get ice in Your drink at McD and other fast food chains, but only 2 or 3 cubes. I personally get it without ice cubes, because the drinks are cooled and I don't want it watered down. And at last ... the paper straws ... that's because the European Union banned the plastic ones for environmental protection. You are right - the paper ones are awful. So I have a reuseable steel one in my car or I don't use one at all if I'm in the restaurant.
it depends on which mc.donalds you go here in germany. where i live, you'll get any coffee you want iced.... At the drinks it's normally with 3-4 ice-cubes, but you can order without, or with more ice. Also you can choose from many different drinks beside the standards like Coke in all variations, Sprite, Fanta, Orange Juice, Water, Beer and different types of bottled Bio-Lemonade with taste of Cranberry, watermelon, lemon, plain black or grean tea and others. The mc.donalds here in germany has always 10 items for 99 cents each, some standard as the basic Hamburger and the Cheeseburger and some rotating on a weekly basis. The favourite sauce here is split about 40/40/20 in Barbecue and Sweet/Sour and Curry Sauce...., but there are also changing sauces depending on the season. So in autumn you might find a deer-burger with camembert, rucola-salad and cranberry sauce....
So funny, we were just talking about doing a fast food comparison video! Great job and really interesting that you like the German version better. We haven't eaten much American fast food since we got here, so I'm looking forward to trying some out. I'm curious, was there any feeling of nostalgia with the taste of the American version? Maybe it doesn't taste as good but it tastes familiar?
The McChicken you got is the "classic" one that was the regular one for many years. The actual regual McChicken looks more like the one in the US. You should try the McRib. It is with pork and I think it is not available in the US (anymore).
I personally am very in favor of ice in drinks. I do it at home as well. So I guess I am American in that sense. One of the main reasons I think european's prefer less ice, is that we pay for the drink and putting ice in the glas is a restaurants way of increasing the profit margins on drinks even further, since you give customers water when they actually paid for a soft drink.
That is true. One other thing I noticed is that Americans like ice because we often take our drinks to go and we want it to stay cold longer. Also another reason why we have styrofoam cups. In Germany I feel like the fastfood cups don't last as long and get soggy. Thanks for watching!
I still remember the strange looks, when I ordered mayo for my fries during my exchange in the US decades ago! McDonalds should have ice for their drinks as do most most restaurants. But default when ordering a drink is no ice. So you have to ask for ice when ordering a drink! Did you never order a beer in a German McDonalds? 😁 If you are really daring, you should try a Mettbrötchen from a local butcher shop! Mett = seasoned raw minced pork 😇 😄 Fresh Mett from a butcher has to be eaten on the day it´s bought. But you can always fry it and use it in a pasta sauce or eat with some ketchup or mustard later on.
We haven't ordered a beer at a German McDonald's. I am also looking forward to trying Mett. We have gotten that recommendation several times. Thanks for the comment.
Usually McDonald's in Germany has Lipton Iced Tea, at least where I'm from (Frankfurt am Main) you can get it everywhere. But I don't know if they might not have had it ten months ago. 🤔
@@trailblazinpeppers In the past, there were ice cubes at McD, but i ordered without it every time. I do not believe this is for every McD restaurant. There are 2 kinds of McD in germany, the most are franchise, but some are directly from McD. Maybe some franchise did not sell enough with ice, so they canceled it. I have to investigate this here in Krefeld ...
I had my first 5 Guys yesterday in Cologne and FREE POP REFILLS AND AS MUCH ICE AS YOU WANT! And there are no straws at all, the cup lid resembles a to-go coffee cup lid and it was a very pleasant experience. There are also "tanks" full of self-serve mayo and ketchup, with paper cups. We filled our mayo cup 5 times! Then again they get their money for that free stuff simply from the price of the food. 28Euros for two small burgers and one small fries and one drink. The small fries cost 4.20E.
Plastic straws (and plastic cutlery, dishes, cups etc) are banned in the EU since July 2021, because they are bad for the environment. Three billion plastic straws go to the waste (or into nature) every day worldwide! But you are right, they are more pleasant to use than the paper ones, unfortunately. I think the drinking cups are bigger in the US because more than half of the content consists of ice. The actual amount of soda may be at least the same.
Yes we have started to use our own reusable straws instead of the paper ones. That's a good point as to why they are bigger in the US. Sometimes in the US you can also order your drink without ice and ask for a separate cup for free just for ice so you can get even more drink. Thanks for the comment.
USA should ban their Plastic but they are not really environmental friendly. We just do whatever we can but they put plastic in plastic. Mc Donald is fat!
The eiskaffee in Germany is coffee or espresso with a scoop of ice cream. We see that commonly and it is tasty. While in the US it is cold coffee with icecubes. The American version of iced coffee is not common and hard to find. Thanks for watching!
No Clue how it tastes in the US. In Austria there are different kind of stuff. We have a higher Quality Standard. I guess the buns are also sweeter there..or in general. Maci. Mc Kotzi.
Why not do the same thing with a German Burger King vs Grafenwöhr Wiesbaden Kaiserslautern Ansbach Military Community Ramstein US Menu used by AAFES since 1984

Thanks for nice talking about Germanys mcdonald's,specially Grafenwöhr.I am working as shiftleader there😍🥰
Thank you. I know it is a very busy McDonalds and always great service!
Hi when I was home in Heidelberg there had wine at McDonald’s I was so surprised that was long ago I am in calif for over 50 years now and love it ♥️♥️🥨🇺🇸
Oh wow I haven't seen wine at a McDonalds yet. California is beautiful and has some incredible national parks!

Now I want McDonalds, good job Lucas and Maria! Love you 😘
It is so much better here. I wanted McDonalds too while editing the video.

Yes McDonald's definitely gave us nostalgia. That's true it didn't taste as good but it tasted like we had remembered. Thanks for the comment.
The McChicken you got is the "classic" one that was the regular one for many years. The actual regual McChicken looks more like the one in the US. You should try the McRib. It is with pork and I think it is not available in the US (anymore).
Yes I do see the McRib on the menu here more than in the US. I didn't know that about the McChicken. Thanks for the insight.
French fries red /white, Pommes rot / weiß, Ketchup and Mayo
I thing the Sweet-Sour sauce is very popular in Germany
Yes that is what we have noticed people eating with their nuggets mostly. Thanks for the comment.
Sweet sour sauce is my favourite sauce for chicken mc nuggets, too.
We got iced coffee over here but it is a frappe with crushed ice and you get that in the mc cafe
Ok I will try that next time. Thanks for the recommendation!
Y’all are going to have to take me to McDonalds when I am there visiting!
Yes we will definitely go!
I personally am very in favor of ice in drinks. I do it at home as well. So I guess I am American in that sense.

In the USA you get refill, because through the ice only half of the drink is inside
That's very true! As long as the drink is cold it doesn't have to have ice. Thanks for watching!

Yes Mett

I remember eating at McDonald's in the states. And it really left me underwhelmed.. not to be rude... But there's a big difference
KFC and sonic are killer tho
Sonic has great desserts and KFC does have great chicken!
That is true. McDonald's in the US is not known for great food or service.
The coffee looks so good. I want it.
It was delicious!
Usually McDonald's in Germany has Lipton Iced Tea, at least where I'm from (Frankfurt am Main) you can get it everywhere. But I don't know if they might not have had it ten months ago. 🤔
I think I have seen the Lipton tea in Germany but in the US the sweet and unsweet tea is made everyday. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why Americans do want ice-cubes in their drinks. To much ice = less of the drink and less taste.
I think Americans think the colder the better for their soft drinks.

@@kingofshit303 With a good amount of ice cubes the owner saves around 20 cents on every drink. That pays the wage of a fulltime employee.
Maybe you can compare Five Guys sometime in the future. In the last years they startet to open more and more restaurants in Germany.
Oh we love Five Guys! That is a good idea.
I had my first 5 Guys yesterday in Cologne and FREE POP REFILLS AND AS MUCH ICE AS YOU WANT! And there are no straws at all, the cup lid resembles a to-go coffee cup lid and it was a very pleasant experience. There are also "tanks" full of self-serve mayo and ketchup, with paper cups.

I wish german McD will get the ranch sauce (not the buttermilk version) for every time nit only for some specials.
Oh yea I do like that sauce too!
Free refills are getting more popular at german fast food restaurants. BK and KFC had them until corona hit germany.
I think the BK we went to had free refills we just didn't realize it because we weren't expecting it.
I only know free refill at Subways, but I am not the american fast food guy. My fast food is Döner, Gyros or Currywurst.

chicken nuggets curry sauce , is the quaterpounder the royalkäse in germany?
Yes, the Royal Käse is the German version, but here the Royal TS is the more popular version, with TS standing for tomato and salad.
Thanks for the insight!
The German nugget sauces are sweet n sour, bbq and curry.
Yes, we love the curry sauce!
Quatsch, Eiskaffee bekommt im Eissalon überall in Deutschland.
The eiskaffee in Germany is coffee or espresso with a scoop of ice cream. We see that commonly and it is tasty. While in the US it is cold coffee with icecubes. The American version of iced coffee is not common and hard to find. Thanks for watching!
No Clue how it tastes in the US. In Austria there are different kind of stuff. We have a higher Quality Standard. I guess the buns are also sweeter there..or in general. Maci. Mc Kotzi.
What are some of the different things you have at McDonald’s in Austria?
Sauce from Mc Donalds, sweet sour and my Favorit is Mc Rip in Germany
My favorite nugget-sauce is sweet-chili-sauce. Futhermore I prefer Mc Donalds instead of Burger King.
Oh we love the sweet chili sauce too. We have yet to try BK here.
Sure Fast Food or Junk Food can be delicious but it isnt healthy at all.once a week ok but not every day.
That is very true! We definitely eat fast food a lot less since moving to Germany.
Ice coffee in Germany is usually a cold coffee with ice cream….
Yes we do enjoy the German iced coffee and the iced chocolate too!
Why not do the same thing with a German Burger King vs Grafenwöhr Wiesbaden Kaiserslautern Ansbach Military Community Ramstein US Menu used by AAFES since 1984
Yea we could try that next time!
I agree, Mcdonalds diet coke is the best!
We have no idea how they do it but it is the best!
Love heidelberg a lot ♥️❤️🥨🇩🇪u need to go to German bakery there the best on body comes close no body 🥨🇩🇪
We haven't traveled there yet but I would love to visit Heidelberg. Thanks for the recommendation!
