I wondered about this and had to look it up. a "regular" patty at McDonald's is 1.6 ounces. That's basically a rounded tablespoon of meat, also called a "rip off" or "Where's the beef?" in normal person speech.
Welcome to Canada. Never expected to see you travel here. I never get bored to see what people think of what it's like north of the border. Hope you have all the fun possible
we used to have snack wraps, which seem to be the exact same as that mcwrap you had but with ranch dressing and shredded cheese. i used to get them allllll the time as a kid, it’s a bummer they stopped!
It is Swedish but you have the spelling wrong. It’s skör, not skor as in shoe. Skör means brittle in this context, like the toffee brittle in the candy bar.
As a McDonald's employee, it is pretty common for customizing those double sandwiches or a Chicken Mac. Some even do the 1/2 LB Mac, where they make it with Quarter Beef instead (we have to charge the Double Quarter Pounder price for it).
the only thing about Mc Donalds is that they do not offer bunless burgers. If you go to the USA at Wendyes for example, they offer their burgers in lettuce wraps instead of bread. Of course i could always ask for the burgers and not eat the buns. But i appreciate that Mc Donalds do customize their sandwiches.
Next time you are in British Columbia, give White Spot or Triple O's a try, if you haven’t before. Their milkshakes and Monty Mushroom Burgers are great!
At one time in new England we had the MC lobster as well for a limited. Not sure if it is like the MC rid as far as it's a limited time thing that they we'll bring back at some point? I think I will stick with a lobster roll from a small mom and pa establishment were I no for certain the lobster is not only fresh, but their is no way its pollock trying to pass itself as 100% fresh lobster. If I want pollock I will just order the MC fillet o fish.
@@ooinvsaoo I would imagine the reason you find it in maritime locations like Nova Scotia and Maine is because it's a more common and affordable food being the areas that lobster are caught. Locals will know what real lobster tastes like since they were raised with it, I doubt they could get away with subbing it. Also, Canada has stricter food labeling laws, it would have to specifically say "imitation lobster".
@@clarissathompson They would have to do that in the US too. We do actually have food labeling laws here, it's not the wild west that everyone seems to think it is.
Interesting how similar McDonald's here in Michigan is to Canada 😊 aside from a couple of items, such as the donuts and the poutine, most of the items you tried are available here as well, including bagels and various bagel sandwiches. Must be the proximity to our Northern neighbors
I was thinking the same. I seem to remember Skor McFlurries, but that was so long ago in MI. I feel like Canada still retained items that got discontinued here.
I've never tried the McDonald's poutine, but I can't imagine it being very good given their fries. A good poutine restaurant will double fry their fries and they should be crispy, and definitely not shoestring. Before you leave, make sure to pick up some Miss Vickie's chips especially the Spicy Dill Pickle, Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar, and All Dressed.😋
@@luminatrixfanfiction - Poutine IS NOT just chips and gravy. Poutine is fries with gravy and cheese curds, so NO, Australia did not invent poutine. If anything, Australia plagiarized chips and gravy from the English.
I feel like candy bars is a more American thing to say. As a Canuck, I don't think I ever called them candy bars, and never heard of it until I moved to the US.
I thought about that as well, candy bars are definitely an American term, while I believe Canada was influenced by Britain originally for confections, especially Cadbury for chocolate bars! 🍫
That seems to be a big problem in the US. Here in Canada they're almost always working. I'd usually rather go for a Dairy Queen Blizzard though. Same idea as the McFlurry but better ice cream and with more topping options, although a bit more expensive.
if you havent noticed, you have a wooden fork because we banned single use plastics. no more plastic bags in grocery stores and in most places no more plastic straws or utensils unless they havent run out of previous stock
I’m not sure if they still do, but when I worked at McDonalds back in the 80s, the “middle bread” in a Big Mac was called the “club” I’m guessing it’s a term borrowed from a club sandwich, which has a middle bread layer.
The chicken Big Mac was created to give non-beef-eating customers (for religious and/or health concerns) the 'Big Mac experience' without changing anything else. Very smart move, McDonald's Canada 👍
Next time you come to canada you have to come to quebec in the spring. You'll be able to taste real poutine as well as enjoy maple syrup season or in french "le temps des sucres" in a "Cabane a sucre". I'd be happy to refer you to good places around Montreal ;).
Dunkin Donuts hasn't existed in Canada for some years now. The last ones were in Montreal. I lived in Canada between 2008-2011, and I used to frequent one that ended up being shut down and turned into a new building. When I lived there, there were at least a few more. One was in a metro station, Lionel Groulx, till it converted into something else. I think the last was in a mall.
We’ve had the chicken snack wraps at McDonald’s before but they stopped making them. That was a favorite of mine I would get the crispy chicken with honey mustard. And we also have the double fish fillet sandwich as well here in Hawaii as well as the double quarter pounder. And don’t forget those fried apple pies 😊
Most burgers here in McDonald's cost almost $9. That's basically artisan burger price. And minimum wage you're likely to make at McDonald's is $2/h. I'm from a country in Europe.
Are you all loaded? “How much can a banana cost? $10?” They get paid $15/hr here, and you can live off of that. I don’t know how you do it in Europe. Maybe you should pay your fast food employees better
McDonald's in Canada used to have Wet Naps (with the white and green packaging) beside the kids bib holders (where the kids high chair was)! I remember always taking a few as a kid!
3:15 I've had some phenomenal poutines with still (rather) crispy fries. They need to use the right kind of fries, not put too much gravy and you have to eat it fresh. McDonalds' poutine is definitely not that. The Costco poutine (at least my local one and a while ago) has some that is nicely crispy, but I think they changed fries recently and I don't know if every Costco would use the same ingredients anyways.
As a Canadian (just east of Toronto!) I loved this video, McFlurries are such a great ice cream mix and Skor is delightful, so I'm so happy you enjoyed!
We serve donuts and macarons in our maccas Cafe, hot cross buns for Easter, chocolate, apple muffins, banana breads and pineapple and coconut breads etc.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself in Toronto. I get a kid's cheese burger every Saturday which is our shopping day. I always have to tell them "Not the meal. Just the burger. And 2 peppers." They always throw about 10 sachets of peppers in the bag. Lol. Anyway, a kid's cheese burger with 2 peppers is the perfect snack when you're pushing 70. Cheers from Ottawa :-)
I am going with my husband to Montreal for his business trip next week, and was so excited to see snack wraps at Mcdonalds! No clue why they took them away from us south of the border
I am an American who JUST moved to Canada, and i didn’t even know about these items! Also!! Their Mcchickens are different. They are made with a thicker sesame seed bun
I dated a Canadian (from just outside Toronto) and by far, my favourite Canadian snack was Fudgeos! They are very similar to our Oreo but with a darker chocolate flavor, very rich and luxurious lol. Of course poutine is a staple but my ex wasn’t super into poutine 😝 probably why we didn’t work out.
Oreos are a triumph of advertising over taste. They are sour cookies with a lump of sugar in between. Fudgeos are a chocolate biscuit with chocolate ganache filling. My favourites are still Whippets though.
Are cheese curds not supposed to be battered and fried? Those looked like a melty cheese ball by itself. I am a lover of mozzarella cheese sticks but I pull off all the breading and enjoy the stringy melty cheese. Now I am wondering if I'm not a fan of curds due to the breading.
You absolutely found the issue with the Chicken Big Mac. Its just a Big Mac but with the McChicken patties instead. The Big Mac sauce does not pair well with chicken and yeah i agree, you can't taste the cheese. That item would have more success if the Big Mac name was dropped and turned into a Double McChicken instead. As for the McWrap in the Happy Meal its actually called the Snack Wrap and once again you found the error! Ever since they switched to wholegrain tortillas, the wraps in Canada have that dry tortilla feel to it, they were so much better when they still used flour tortillas. And we even used to have breakfast wraps before the switchover to wholegrain tortilla and i miss those breakfast wraps so much.
in UK, mcflurry is more of an icecream, not a blended milkshake. i think this is because we have 4 milkshake flavours on our menu, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and banana.
I wish I saw your video when I lived in Canada (or before). 😁 If you ever have a chance try the west coast. Vancouver is really lovely! 🍁 Enjoy the plastic spoons while you can have them! Here in Europe they're using wooden cutlery. Might be eco friendly but it's not nice. (like your fork, but they also use it to serve icecream etc). It seems they forbade disposable plastic cups and plates in the EU as well.
@@jennifergraham3752 omg! I named one of them! Lol! My friend was a volunteer there and I visit with her one day and one of the goats had kids, her name was Happy and so all of her kids were named based on hers, there was Smiley, Laughter, Giggles, etc. Though they had one little cutie without a name yet so I suggested naming her my Mum’s middle name, Joy. They made her new name tag and put it on her when I was still there, I was so proud! Lol!❤️🐐
Mc flurry it’s not like a milkshake it’s there kind of thick or yogurt or something like a soft serve ice cream with different things mixed in it. I think you know we have those here in the US as well
Here in Australia, we have the double burgers, Big Mac, Mcchicken and quarter pounder, fillet of fish, and we have the chicken wrap happy meal, the chicken Big Mac, we have potato cakes (thin slices of potato dipped in batter and fried in oil),great video Emmy, cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Double Big Mac and Chicken Big Mac were both limited-time items in Australia. However, Double Filet-O-Fish is a available permanently. You just need to order the extra filet, and you get double cheese.
Really interesting to watch as a Canadian. I love skor bars! I've never tried the McDonald's poutine but the worst poutine I ever had was in Quebec of all places.
That's interesting to hear. I'm American, but had two childhood friends from the West Island of the MTL area and an aunt and uncle in Vancouver. . Was said poutine from a fast food chain like McD's is or a more mom/pop joint?
@@comartindale5726 hi from Vancouver! 👋 I can't remember if this was in Quebec city or Montreal, but it was in a sit down restaurant. The problem was that the fries were the little matchstick style fries. I don't think poutine needs to be super crispy or anything but definitely not completely soggy matchsticks.
We have had the double fish fillet sandwich in California for a while now. I would love it if you did a McDonald's food tour. I know you did one for Hawaii, but I would like to see other states. When I was in Maine McDonald's actually had lobster rolls, and they were pretty good.
Crazy that the size of that bigmac is how big they used to be originally. They're so small now. Also we can't even get the yogurt with kids meals anymore
Love the double Big Mac and Big Mac in-between steamed buns. It's the only burgers we can choose to have steamed buns or normal bun burgers here in New Zealand. The bite just melts in the mouth 😋😋😋
Filet of Fish is my favorite sandwich, during Lent I eat at McD every Friday-But I am ot a fan of the double, as you said the ratio is off. However, since the double is often a better deal I will get it and eat it open face style with extra sauce (enough for each side of the bun and one filet..
About Dunkin Donuts, we used to have them but because of Tim Hortons popularity Dunkin Donut decided to stop expending in Canada and they all vanished one by one, the last 3 dunkin donuts were in Quebec but they closed few years ago. I loved Dunkin Donut back in the days, especially since i grew up in the 90s and they were very popular at the time. A Tim Hortons taste test would be great if you've never tried it.
Tim Horton’s have almost disappeared from SE lower Michigan over the last few years. Even ones combined with Cold Stone Creamery. Still have Dunkin. Often combined with Baskin Robbins.
The thing I loved about Canadian McDonalds was vinegar packets for french fries. That same toy was in the US as well. They are starting to get away from plastic toys.
Toronto is not considered Eastern Canada geographically, more Central, even though it is in Eastern time zone. Eastern Canada is Quebec & the smaller Atlantic provinces.
McDonald’s is not what I would call real poutine. Would suggest if you travel to 🇨🇦 again, to try one at a diner or family restaurant type of place, or in Quebec. The fries are thicker and the gravy doesn’t make the fries soggy. We used to only have Dunkin in Quebec but they pulled out of the province. As you can tell, we Canucks are very serious about our poutine! Love your channel and enjoyed this video! 😃😎
So happy you’re enjoying Canada Emmy! As a Maritimer I can assure that you are definitely in Central Canada, not Eastern Canada 😊 Were there any foods that your family tried that they loved or maybe didn’t love so much?
I remember when I was in Vancouver in '96 they still had the old "mini spoon" coffee stirrers that were banned in the States because people allegedly used them as coke spoons.
Similar and different from the US. Poutine of course is something I never tried. Being from Texas it is something I am going to have to make myself one day, as Canada is pretty far from here. :)
I hope one day you can come back to Southern Ontario for the yearly Oktoberfest festival to do some taste tests 🥰 lots of kids & food events too! Kitchener does it big so maybe one day you can experience it!
We've got the double filet o' fish in Michigan. IMHO, the bun isn't strong enough for all of the greasy fish. A regular filet defeats the bun sometimes too lol
We have the double Filet o Fish here in Tennessee. I think most people appreciate a higher proportion of protein to bread. If you really need the 2 bread to one fish ratio, you can actually get 2 Filet o Fish for 30 cents LESS than the double.
McDonald's in the US used to have chicken wraps when my kids were younger. They were my kids' go to meal when we went there. They were stand alone items that weren't available in a kid's meal though. I believe they had ranch and bbq and you could get either crispy chicken or grilled. Unfortunately, they dropped those items a few years ago. For a while, you could still get them even though they were officially off the menu while McDonald's still had the chicken tenders. But once they got rid of the chicken tenders, they were officially gone.
Chicago has the international McDonald's at their corporate offices. I get over that way from time to time for work and usually stop in to try the international items.
When Emmy started by saying she's trying the mcflurry and has had it in the US, my brain immidately replied with ohh is it because the ice cream machine is always broken in the states?! LOL xox love your content, I have a restaurant in toronto I wish I could have had you over for lunch!
back in the 70's when I was growing up McDonalds had the best big Macs if I remember correctly it was a double cheeseburger with all the fixings, I think Burger King was doing the same thing and competing with McDonalds, but I was a small child at that time, so I could be mistaken.
If you're still in Canada I'd recommended checking out Canadian A&W it's a lot different than the one US.
They are different companies not even related to each other. AW is a really weird brand.
Good call, Canadian A&W is pretty good
Great idea
isn't american a&w just soda?
@@LaPetiteDeath no.
Alaska has a Big Mac called a Denali Mac, made with their quarter pound patties instead of their regular patties
How much does it cost?
They used to have the Mckinley Mac which was what Emmy showed in this video. A double Big Mac.
I wondered about this and had to look it up. a "regular" patty at McDonald's is 1.6 ounces. That's basically a rounded tablespoon of meat, also called a "rip off" or "Where's the beef?" in normal person speech.
@@hs5167 it’s $7.40 for just the sandwich where I live, which is central Alaska
@@LadyroachAlot same sandwich. Renamed to Denali Mac. Alaska Natives named the largest mountain, Denali, which was renamed to McKinley by settlers.
Nothing is more precarious than eating fast food in your car while wearing a white shirt. Glad you enjoyed it!

I really appreciate that although she mentions her children frequently, they aren't ever featured in videos. That's a good mom right there. ❤️
I couldn't agree more! I really respect her choice to maintain her children's privacy.
They have been occasionally in the past but she's always careful not to show faces
Yes I agree
I just love how she's even careful to hide their faces if they're in a video
Yeah hide the kids faces. Like Michael Jackson ✌😎💖
we used to have snack wraps, which seem to be the exact same as that mcwrap you had but with ranch dressing and shredded cheese. i used to get them allllll the time as a kid, it’s a bummer they stopped!
I remember them wraps. I used to get the breaded chicken filet option instead of the grilled lol. IIrc they were only like $1.50 too.
We still have them in Canada!
I loved the spicy bbq one !
@@DylanWAnims no we don't. At least not in the Toronto area.
Wendy's has started making a grilled chicken ranch wrap now!
Emmy's impression of her kids at 6:32 is absolutely delightful
I love Skor candy bars. I thought it was fun they marketed it as a Swedish candy bar. . .especially since "skor" in Swedish means "shoes".
It is Swedish but you have the spelling wrong. It’s skör, not skor as in shoe. Skör means brittle in this context, like the toffee brittle in the candy bar.

in UK, mcflurry is more of an icecream, not a blended milkshake. i think this is because we have 4 milkshake flavours on our menu, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and banana.
I wish I saw your video when I lived in Canada (or before). 😁
If you ever have a chance try the west coast. Vancouver is really lovely! 🍁
Enjoy the plastic spoons while you can have them! Here in Europe they're using wooden cutlery. Might be eco friendly but it's not nice. (like your fork, but they also use it to serve icecream etc). It seems they forbade disposable plastic cups and plates in the EU as well.
Vancouver is lovely.
@@emmymade And Victoria even more! And I can see it from my house! Haven't been there since Covid, must go this year!
@@Trebuchet48 Ah, when I lived in Vic I used to love sitting at Beacon Hill Park and looking over the water to the night lights of Port Angeles!
@@clarissathompsonI love Beacon Hill Park. We would always go see the goats. ❤
@@jennifergraham3752 omg! I named one of them! Lol! My friend was a volunteer there and I visit with her one day and one of the goats had kids, her name was Happy and so all of her kids were named based on hers, there was Smiley, Laughter, Giggles, etc. Though they had one little cutie without a name yet so I suggested naming her my Mum’s middle name, Joy. They made her new name tag and put it on her when I was still there, I was so proud! Lol!❤️🐐
Mc flurry it’s not like a milkshake it’s there kind of thick or yogurt or something like a soft serve ice cream with different things mixed in it. I think you know we have those here in the US as well
McFlurry is McD's version of the DQ Blizzard, not their version of a milkshake.
Yup, dessert not a milk shake.
Yes, McD also has actual milkshakes.
I miss the car seat in the back of your car that looked like a pair of creepy eyes and caused a lot of controversy and speculation a few years ago.😢😂
Aww...the kids are growing up fast.
Here in Australia, we have the double burgers, Big Mac, Mcchicken and quarter pounder, fillet of fish, and we have the chicken wrap happy meal, the chicken Big Mac, we have potato cakes (thin slices of potato dipped in batter and fried in oil),great video Emmy, cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Double Big Mac and Chicken Big Mac were both limited-time items in Australia. However, Double Filet-O-Fish is a available permanently. You just need to order the extra filet, and you get double cheese.
Really interesting to watch as a Canadian. I love skor bars! I've never tried the McDonald's poutine but the worst poutine I ever had was in Quebec of all places.
That's interesting to hear. I'm American, but had two childhood friends from the West Island of the MTL area and an aunt and uncle in Vancouver.
. Was said poutine from a fast food chain like McD's is or a more mom/pop joint?
Lol.. That’s the thing though. You ask 10 Montrealers where’s the best poutine at, and you’d probably get 10 different answers
@@comartindale5726 hi from Vancouver! 👋 I can't remember if this was in Quebec city or Montreal, but it was in a sit down restaurant. The problem was that the fries were the little matchstick style fries. I don't think poutine needs to be super crispy or anything but definitely not completely soggy matchsticks.
what's interesting about the chicken big bac is that it's not the same patty as a mcchicken or a jr chicken, it's literally a giant mcnugget patty lol
We have had the double fish fillet sandwich in California for a while now.
I would love it if you did a McDonald's food tour. I know you did one for Hawaii, but I would like to see other states.
When I was in Maine McDonald's actually had lobster rolls, and they were pretty good.
Crazy that the size of that bigmac is how big they used to be originally. They're so small now.
Also we can't even get the yogurt with kids meals anymore
I live in Illinois and our McDonald's has had the double Big Mac, however it was a limited time only.
Love the double Big Mac and Big Mac in-between steamed buns. It's the only burgers we can choose to have steamed buns or normal bun burgers here in New Zealand. The bite just melts in the mouth 😋😋😋
Loved this video Emmy!!!!
Filet of Fish is my favorite sandwich, during Lent I eat at McD every Friday-But I am ot a fan of the double, as you said the ratio is off. However, since the double is often a better deal I will get it and eat it open face style with extra sauce (enough for each side of the bun and one filet..
One thing ppl never cover is the dips. Spicy habanero dip is also only in canada
About Dunkin Donuts, we used to have them but because of Tim Hortons popularity Dunkin Donut decided to stop expending in Canada and they all vanished one by one, the last 3 dunkin donuts were in Quebec but they closed few years ago. I loved Dunkin Donut back in the days, especially since i grew up in the 90s and they were very popular at the time. A Tim Hortons taste test would be great if you've never tried it.
If you grew up in the 90s, what time do you consider as "back in the day?"
Tim Horton’s have almost disappeared from SE lower Michigan over the last few years. Even ones combined with Cold Stone Creamery. Still have Dunkin. Often combined with Baskin Robbins.
I think the Mcflury is McDonald's answer to Dairy Queen's blizzard as opposed to milk shakes as they have regular milk shakes at McDonald's.
I don't know if they were done in the US too, but if not you must try the Bacon, Egg and Smoky Gouda McMuffin! It's SO good!
Wish we had those in the states. I used to get the steak, egg, cheese bagel sandwich and loved it, but sadly they have d/c it.😕
We have the chicken big Mac here in the UK also. I haven’t tried it personally, but my son said it’s better than the actual big Mac.
The thing I loved about Canadian McDonalds was vinegar packets for french fries. That same toy was in the US as well. They are starting to get away from plastic toys.
Toronto is not considered Eastern Canada geographically, more Central, even though it is in Eastern time zone. Eastern Canada is Quebec & the smaller Atlantic provinces.
Canada definitely has awesome and yummy food.
Great stuff Emmy, really enjoyed this☺️☺️
Longtime Emmy fan from Toronto! While you're visiting, don't forget to try some ketchup chips and visit a Tim Hortons for a double-double and Timbits!
McDonald’s is not what I would call real poutine. Would suggest if you travel to 🇨🇦 again, to try one at a diner or family restaurant type of place, or in Quebec. The fries are thicker and the gravy doesn’t make the fries soggy. We used to only have Dunkin in Quebec but they pulled out of the province. As you can tell, we Canucks are very serious about our poutine! Love your channel and enjoyed this video! 😃😎
We have Double Big Mac, Double McChicken, Double Filet O Fish, Double Quarter Pounder in New Zealand too
So happy you’re enjoying Canada Emmy! As a Maritimer I can assure that you are definitely in Central Canada, not Eastern Canada 😊 Were there any foods that your family tried that they loved or maybe didn’t love so much?
I remember when I was in Vancouver in '96 they still had the old "mini spoon" coffee stirrers that were banned in the States because people allegedly used them as coke spoons.
Mc Donalds Poutine is not Real Poutine
No shit, sherlock. McDonald's food isn't even food 😂
No it's not, the gravy could be...a lot....better.
Yeah, it’s the worst fast food poutine, Imo.
I’m pretty sure she knows that bro? She was already at the McDonald’s and wanted to try it…
Similar and different from the US. Poutine of course is something I never tried. Being from Texas it is something I am going to have to make myself one day, as Canada is pretty far from here. :)
I hope one day you can come back to Southern Ontario for the yearly Oktoberfest festival to do some taste tests 🥰 lots of kids & food events too! Kitchener does it big so maybe one day you can experience it!
We've got the double filet o' fish in Michigan. IMHO, the bun isn't strong enough for all of the greasy fish. A regular filet defeats the bun sometimes too lol
I can't imagine McDonald's fries lending themselves well to poutine
Nope, they don’t.. I love freshly done McDonald’s fries, but they’re the worst for poutines
We have the double Filet o Fish here in Tennessee. I think most people appreciate a higher proportion of protein to bread. If you really need the 2 bread to one fish ratio, you can actually get 2 Filet o Fish for 30 cents LESS than the double.
Good to know!
I am in North Carolina and we have the double fish here. We have had it for almost 20 years.
🤔mcflurry is a milkshake? I always thought milkshake needed a straw to drink from. Im pretty sure it's an ice-cream
McFlurry is like a Blizzard from Dairy Queen
McDonald's in the US used to have chicken wraps when my kids were younger. They were my kids' go to meal when we went there. They were stand alone items that weren't available in a kid's meal though. I believe they had ranch and bbq and you could get either crispy chicken or grilled. Unfortunately, they dropped those items a few years ago. For a while, you could still get them even though they were officially off the menu while McDonald's still had the chicken tenders. But once they got rid of the chicken tenders, they were officially gone.
I remember when the McFlurry originally came out, McDonalds U.S. had Heath Bar McFlurries.
You should try some of the franchises that uou don't find in the US. Harveys or Swiss Chalet.
Chicago has the international McDonald's at their corporate offices. I get over that way from time to time for work and usually stop in to try the international items.
Heath is my favorite blizzard at Dairy Queen
We can get double big Macs and Fillet O Fish here in the PNW US at some mcds! I've seen them in WA and Oregon.
We’ve got the chicken Big Mac in the U.K. at the moment. I actually quite enjoy it but I’ve always preferred a chicken burger over beef.
McDonald’s used to have wraps. They even offered a Big Mac version, which I loved.
The McFlurry is basically the same as a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It would not be classified as a milkshake.
The mcflurry is not a milkshake substitute. It is McDonald's attempt at the Dairy Queen blizzard.
Wow! Thank you for sharing!
Crying REAL TEARS you got to have a McWrap 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I miss those in the US So Much
When Emmy started by saying she's trying the mcflurry and has had it in the US, my brain immidately replied with ohh is it because the ice cream machine is always broken in the states?! LOL xox love your content, I have a restaurant in toronto I wish I could have had you over for lunch!
Yes, the ice cream machines in Murkan McD’s are also usually broken! 😂
Same in Australia and they don't blend them here anymore 😂
back in the 70's when I was growing up McDonalds had the best big Macs if I remember correctly it was a double cheeseburger with all the fixings, I think Burger King was doing the same thing and competing with McDonalds, but I was a small child at that time, so I could be mistaken.
Skor bar was my favorite I haven’t seen one in a long time
The best mini donut is the boston cream - yum!
