By Ghuman

Introduction

McDonald’s has recently released a series of limited-time items that have been met with mixed reviews. While some customers have praised the new items, others have described them as “disgusting” and “foul”. In this article, we will explore the reactions to these new items and discuss why some customers have such negative opinions. We will also look at how McDonald’s is responding to the criticism and what changes they may make in the future.

McDonald’s Latest Limited-Time Items Have Been Described as “Disgusting” and “Foul”

McDonald’s has recently released a series of limited-time items, and the reviews have been less than stellar. Many customers have described the items as “disgusting” and “foul,” and some have even gone so far as to say that they are inedible.

The items in question are the McRib, the McChicken, and the McFlurry. All three items have been met with criticism from customers, who have taken to social media to express their displeasure. Many have complained that the items are overly greasy, overly salty, and generally unappetizing.

McDonald’s has yet to respond to the criticism, but it is clear that the company is not happy with the negative feedback. It remains to be seen if the company will take any action to address the complaints, or if they will simply continue to offer the items in the hopes that customers will eventually come around.

It is clear that McDonald’s latest limited-time items have not been well-received by customers. Whether or not the company will take any action to address the complaints remains to be seen, but it is clear that the items have not been met with the enthusiasm that the company had hoped for.

It’s now been several weeks since McDonald’s added some of its most popular hacks to the menu. And while ideas for these sandwiches originated from fans, it seems they were more of a miss than a hit with those who have tasted them.

Creating new, off-menu items from existing parts has been a fan tactic for breathing new life into a menu for decades. But it seems that when the chain actually embraces and even advertises these rogue combinations, customers feel rather cheated—we expect actual novelties to come out of your test kitchen, McDonald’s! The fast-food chain seems to have disappointed rather than delighted customers with the limited-time inclusion of menu hacks for the Hash Brown McMuffin, Crunchy Double, Surf +Turf, and Land, Air & Sea.

In fact, many online reviews, be it in food publications or on social media, have expressed major disappointment with one crucial aspect of these hacks: the DIY aspect. While the chain thought that pre-assembling them would take the fun out of ordering the hacks in the first place, hordes of customers on social media beg to differ.

The lack of novelty felt even more pronounced with this move.

The disappointment when you realize that ordering the Land, Air & Sea is just code for ordering three separate McDonald’s sandwiches—the Big Mac, the Filet-o-Fish, and the McChicken—was so strong that some didn’t even bother assembling it.

Writer Emily Heil touched on another negative aspect of the hacks in her review for The Washington Post: Not only does the combo of fish and beef in the Land, Air & Sea and the Surf + Turf taste “unholy,” but the “here are all the parts, assemble it yourself” strategy also ends up producing a lot of waste. Heil says she was left with “a bag full of wasted buns,” which is particularly annoying considering the fact that you’re spending more money than usual on a McDonald’s sandwich.

Now, in terms of the flavor, the aforementioned Land, Air & Sea has definitely gotten the most backlash from the bunch. “Genuinely reminiscent of garbage” and “a disgusting ball of meat, cheese, bread, lettuce and some kind of edible glue” have been just some of the unflattering descriptions of this item, which gluttonously combines what no sandwich should ever combine: beef, chicken, and fish. An equally offensive part of this sandwich seems to be the combo of the three different creamy sauces: Big Mac sauce, tartar, and mayo, which combine to create something that tastes “straight-up foul,” according to a review in Uproxx.

There is one item that did fare better than the rest among customers, and it’s the simplest hack of the bunch. The Hash Brown McMuffin, which simply features a hash brown pattie inserted inside a McMuffin sandwich, combines two foods you’re already eating in unison anyway, which is the key to its success.
