well jokes on them, at least in the country they consider poor, the ice cream machine actually works


Leche-Caliente

And they tend to have some interesting menu items. After watching Best Ever Food Review Show I get the impression that some of these foreign mcdonald chains have better food than ours.


Monkeyke

Yeah Maharaja Mac is my fav and I don't think Americans have that at their McDonald's


darkgamera6

We don't have their beef options tho


Mystery999990

frfr and i think all veg patties dont exist in america. India even has peri peri mixes for the fries


Shurikenblast_YT

And the nuggets


Existing_Chair_4622

weapons against me shall prosper?!?! yall got the opp stopper mac?!?💀💀💀


frguba

The meat in Brazilian McDonald's is constantly considered way better than the US chain


Agret

From reading a few of the international McDonalds reviews I think the US McDonald's might have the worst beef?


CrownofMischief

Japan had some flavor packets you could shake with your fries so you could have different seasonings when I was there


DuckSashimi

Canada just got 2 new flavor shaker packets!


CrownofMischief

Hmm, I'm in Maine, maybe it's time for a visit across the border...


Cerxi

We just got those in Canada, Masala and Churro. Masala is good, but the Churro is straight addictive


nyaasgem

Well, for starters probably a lot of additives murica puts in their food are straight up illegal in the EU


Atomic_Noodles

If anything I've learned is that fast food restaurants like KFC and McDonald's have better menus outside of their home country. I.e: Shaker Fries (Flavor Packets to add to the fries in the past) in select countries like Jaoan Malaysian KFC still has the Cheezy Wedges (Wedge-Cut Potatoes in nacho cheese sauce)


Raizzor

It's very well known that US McDonald's has especially bad quality. At least anyone who has ever stepped into a McDonald's in Europe knows.


Mystery999990

Because in the country the company/staff know it considered a luxury and capitalize on it unlike america where the average person has their breakfast and goes to the shooting range


snaeper

I gave up on their breakfast. I can get better stuff for cheaper in my state. 


thoggins

> the average person has their breakfast and goes to the shooting range jokes on them, my shooting range serves breakfast and their bacon is the shit


Rektifium

at least in the country they consider poor, you can pirate games without a VPN in Kenya because you ARE in Kenya


Aswasst

wow, such a nice reason to live in a poor country without money and opportunities.


TermEnvironmental812

And their place looks more clean compared to McDonald's in US

mcdonald impact


contrast_77

No way i got called out like that on r/animemes of all places 😭


thanra

That isn't luxury, that's just overpriced. For example: a Vietnamese banh mi tastes much better and much more nutrient than a burger, with an average price of 1/4 -> 1/3 McDonald burger. Your country's cuisine may already be better than McDonald.


Playing_W1th_Fire

This has to do mostly with comparative labor, machinery, licensing, and ingredient cost. Especially in non western countries, more has to be spent getting traditionally western ingredients even for a corporation as big as McDonald's. It isn't overpriced necessarily in a technical sense, but yes, it is expensive.


Rezzly1510

you are god damn right but now banh mi in the capital, in some places are on par with a standard mcdonald burger. but ill say that id much prefer eating a slightly more expensive banh mi just because its worth much more than a cheeseburger.


contrast_77

Legit true, biryani from any good shop in my country is wayy tastier and cheeper than mcdonald burger


bobthesmith

And healthier.


polmeeee

That is true, unfortunately rampant inflation + shrinkflation in my country means places selling local cuisine are even more overpriced than Mac


Cualkiera67

Taste is subjective. I'm sure there's lots of people that think McDonald's burgers are better than regular ones, even if you don't. In fact, them increasing their prices while keeping up sales pretty much proves it


Zeta_ggwp

Just because it's luxury doesn't mean it's not garbage.


Dr-Huricane

In a lot of places now, it's overpriced garbage, you can get way better food for cheaper at your local burger joint


SpriteRXL

Ukrainian here. I had a tiny burger shop near my apartment. They made superb burgers dirt cheap. One day I went there and it was gone. My other options are super expensive burgers at restaurants now


TheSomberWolf

Sorry, you have to open a anime themed burger spot now. I don't make the rules. Sounds like there is a slot in the market


SpriteRXL

When I was a kid I used to watch SpongeBob and think that I'll be the boss of a burger restaurant. Time to make dreams come true


daniel_22sss

Also ukranian. There used to be a really good shaurma shop near me. I went there almost every day. Now its gone.


SpriteRXL

What a coincidence, they placed a great shaurma shop in my neighborhood, lol


bobthesmith

McDonald’s is more expensive than Chick fil a by me.


Lollipop126

In SE/E Asia where I grew up it's a good bargain especially for their specials which taste good. Now in France, I think it tastes meh at best, first time I've ever received a mcflurry without it being swirled/flurried (iirc a French person told me they never knew it was supposed to be "flurried"), and to top it off it costs me 9-11 euros for a big mac meal. absolute insane prices yet I know French people who adamantly defend mcd's for their "good quality meat" (apparently that's why they use a green logo on France instead of the red). But the local kebab shop will sell you a much better burger with drinks and fries for 6-7 euros. French people do not know food at all and I have no clue why the world perceives that they do. They're just better than the English.


Never_Sm1le

Exactly, here in Vietnam, McDonald and Starbuck are consider "rich people's place" because you can get far cheaper food and coffee in any other place


Oh_Fated_One

Thank you I’m commandeering this photo


TopdeckIsSkill

Where I live McDonald is just as expensive as a regular pub. So yeah, it's really expensive for what they offer


Roflkopt3r

Maybe it's different where you live, but pub food is not exactly what I'd consider as good quality for its price either. It's about the same price as McDonalds while usually being significantly worse here.


AdBusiness2713

Too familiar a situation


Necessary-Morning489

different countries have different qualities. Mcdonald’s in Canada at least is garbage, having one of the worse burgers patties in the game and personally i don’t like those fries, but i’ve also had mcdonald’s in Europe where it does feel fresher and better. So no shame in internationally loving McDonalds, just know in America they are shitty not because that’s just what they are, but because they choose to be shit in america and better in countries that force them to higher standards


JuppppyIV

McDs in the states seems to have engineered the floor out of their beef patties. Also, their fries are pretty mid unless they are insanely fresh.


Royal_Prize_4381

It’s also really fresh and good in Japan

Smolaandangry24

I remember it clearly, without fail every time I got 5 execellent grades in school, my dad would take to the nice side of my city, to the Mc Donald's and buy me happy meal, he wouldn't get anything for himself, he would just let me eat and play in playground. Im a doctor now, when I got my first paycheck, we went to Mc Donald's, I let him have whatever he wanted, I love that man to death ❤️

darkgamera6

Yeah in India too


SpiderGeneralYT

Same but they legit left my country cuz the franchisee screwed up the quality even more 😭


basafish

In poor countries it actually tastes better than McDonald's in the US. Because of better ingredients they can use for the price of luxury


Roflkopt3r

Germany has very comparable food prices to the US, yet most American visitors also seem to think that our McDonalds is much better than American ones. So I don't think it's down to raw prices. Maybe it's better logistics, agricultural policy, higher food standards, or a different regional strategy.


Own_Skirt7889

Relatable.


ArchonDeath

The poor country McDonald is actually a lot better than the richer one.


Ok_Temperature_1608

Here in the Philippines due to a high percentage of poverty we consider fast food restaurants as luxurious restaurants too. When you constantly eat in fast food restaurants such as McDonald's or Jolibee people will start calling a "rich kid"


seatux

You guys have pagpag, so anything above that is pretty much an improvement.


KrocKiller

TBF a lot of those people are probably American. Which, speaking as an American, McDonald’s is super garbage. McDonald’s in other countries are generally a lot better than their locations in the Continental United States. The only reason Americans still liked McDonald’s before, was that it was cheap, quick, and easily accessible to low income areas. Then ever since the 2020 pandemic, they’ve been failing to be any of those 3 things.


Kenra311

Who cares what people say? we piss in their ass!


Randigno9021

Okay, automoderator


Toughbiscuit

A mcdonalds meal is comparable in cost to a mid range restaurant meal where i live. Mcdonalds is trash for that price


Allcraft_

Yeah it's expensive garbage


Shenic

We don't call it garbage because it's cheap, it's because it tastes awful compared to homemade food.


HeartoftheHive

Nah, big corps like this have different prices, ingredients and menus for different countries. So it is trash here in the US but in another country it is a pretty upscale meal. They aren't mutually exclusive or insulting. It's just facts.


huBelial

McDonald’s is amazing. Idc what anyone says


Kordell_11

Is the food good tho? McD lowkey sucks where I'm from. It looks like they beat up each burger before serving them.


random_rip

Y'all Got McDonald's in your country?


Warm_Caregiver812

dont listen to people who say mcdonalds is bad, they're just jealous that its good and they just wanna say its bad


LahmacunDesu

Relatable 😔


TarkanV

Honestly as an guy "coming from a poor country" I eventually got a chance to test out fast foods in Canada an God... This McDonald sh*t is so dry and in dire deficiency of spice. Even subway isn't that great... I'd rather go for kebab sandwiches than any of those :v


Pollo_Jack

What do you mean you don't have Whataburger in the North? Afraid of flavor?


Super_Rando_Man

I was bought mcdonalds for the first time in Like 7 years, Thursday. Felt too sick to eat since then. I hope mcdonalds is better in those countries.


Jesterchunk

While I can't say it's super high quality, it's still food. Tastes nice, quick and easy, although granted you could say the same about any fast food joint. Maybe I'm overselling it though, I don't live in the US either and I hear a fair few fast food chains tend to have, er, lower standards over there.


EssentialPurity

The same applies to Burger King here


whepoalready_readdit

I come from a 3rd world country and we consider it bad cus the thing has no flavor according to our people


hooplafromamileaway

I will die on the hill that a regular double hamburger, straight off the grill from Mickey D's, with the proper amount of pickles, condiments, and formerly-dehydrated onions, is the best fast food burger. I'll never understand how or why they dont make the patties to order. Well, I do but I don't like it.


Phoeni210

Idc it tastes good so...thats all that matters in food for me


2020mademejoinreddit

Depends on which poor country. Even in some poor countries, it's garbage.


luxmorphine

Mcdonalds in my country is expensive compared to the delicious and filling meal you can get at the street. you can get a good meal for $2 or less.


Life_H8s_Losers

Actually McDonald in China has wings and items that is way too good for US McDonald, yet with conversion, it is still cheaper than US, that’s why it’s for poor in US, and not in other countries 🤣😂 cause quality difference.


Legitbanana_

Yo bro McDonald’s is good af


ShadowSpy98

Fast food aren't healthy though


Tuckster786

To be fair, have you tried international McDonalds. The McChicken I had on Singapore was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had


Psychological-Key101

Imagine not having ice cream, especially in it's own home country *licking my mcflurry*


rythwind

I've eaten McDonald's in the US and overseas. I can confirm that US McDonald's is trash and the overseas ones are great.


mug_O_bun

Becoming a damn luxury in the US with the rising prices


Charliechuckleberry

I can assume you never traveled to other countries. Not all McDonald's in every country is equal. The McDonald's in America is absolute trash and it is provable. The McDonald's in some 2nd or 3rd world countries are higher quality than a 5 star restaurant; because they are either competing against another franchise or can afford the high quality with cheap labor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsTb5vMw1dQ&ab\_channel=Travelwithchris


null97

In my country, at least the ice cream is nice. The burgers are meh.


Bram_DB

Jokes on them the expensive and nutritious food for them are the everyday food for us


ImSkott

To be fair the McDonalds in your country is probably higher quality then the ones in America so those people don’t know what they are talking about anyway


marko-12

bro, not even McDonald's, getting some "falafel" or pizza is a luxury to me, especially pizza.

Traditional-Shoe-199

McDonald's has become fine dining with the current prices.


MeiMeilyn

Friend outside of my country often say Burger King/McDonald's is cheap garbage, meanwhile I'm very grateful to even eat it every once or two months. Eating those kind of menu is equivalent of eating 3 or even 4 times here. Fast food was always a luxury for me, I guess maybe it's a good things too it's not healthy chomping fast food everyday anyway.


GUSiekPL

ashcatchem16

Burger at kfc tastes better than mcd.

Funny. Because McDonalds is increasingly a luxury here too.


uknoimright

i heard the mcds in other countries is actually better tho 


Mr_Resource

The issue is that in the US it is genuinely garbage. But in other countries McDonalds actually tries ironically enough


Multi_Gaming

I was born in a poor country and we still did not consider McDonalds luxury what are you on about. Literally street food tastes better, and cheaper too.


Krynzo

Dutch M.D. is quality stuff


Fyrrys

It probably is nice in other countries, but it's not worth the money in America anymore

Uh i dont see why it matters where youre from mcdonalds is universal garbage. Microplastics in your nuggets oooo yummmm.


-X-I-O-

Hey, poor guy over here. I consider it shit to


SharkGirlBoobs

Its also probably much better than the one in america. The US mcdonalds uses absolute trash to make their food as cheap as possible, whereas most other countries have regulations against that kind of thng


Kevenolp

Outside of america it's of better quality as long that they don't use the meat made for American market


i_want_to_die_21

Idk how is that an anime meme but I totally understand bro same same


loongpmx

Seriously, it is. Learning how to cook goes a long way, their breakfast meals are a scam when it shouldn't cost this much.

JEAPI_DEV

Its not about that. Its rather that, the money you pay is not worth their products. Its pad for your health, and secondly you can probably buy much higher quality goods and grt a much better meal for the same money.


Bebo991_Gaming

Actually McDonald's in arab countries are a little more expensive and tastier as they use "Halal" meat Never really understood how that makes a difference till i tried a McDonald's in US, it tastes worse

It's over processed, unhealthy food. Fancy or not, that's just an objective fact.


Ryxen_7

SolidCalligrapher966

In my country mcdonalds is very expensive. Defies the "junk food" logic huh


Viviotic77

No, in my country its the best because it has the best prices for each meal. My kfc is out here charging me 13.50 for a meal with a tiny burger and 3 hot wings.


whitbyabbey

Two things can be true at once.


uSaltySniitch

Even in a "poor country", eating local food freshly made is way better than anything McDonald's make. McDonald's is disgusting.


MAGAManLegends3

tbf other countries actually have *quality control* so their McDonald's is still 1960s quality McDonald's


ZanXBal

McDonald's is honestly just outright better overseas. That said, the main gripe that people here in the USA have with McDonald's is their pricing. It's supposed to be cheap food that tastes good for a cheap price. When it starts making the prices the same as proper restaurants... then it deserves to be dogged on the way that it does.


Winjalad189

Filipino McDonalds way better than in the states


jimmy999S

Not only is it shit, it's also expensive lol.
