Old discussion
"CEO Ray Kroc famously prohibited the company from selling hot dogs, regardless of potential demand, as he regarded them as unhygienic."

There was a brief period several years ago when UK outlets sold a hot dog.

why are you guys writing this
Is not this just giving free advertisement for one of worlds worst companies? This should never have been in an encyclopedia. wouldn't surprise me if Macdonald's payed you people for writing this.

Personally I dislike McDonald's, but it still is a company of no small importance or influence, so it cetainly belongs here.Alloco1 22:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

-Your poor writings skills aside, this is indeed fact. Should we not have a page on Hitler or neoNazis? 68.58.46.53 14:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

surprisingly enough McDonald's information actually helps junior high kids write persuasive essays for English class against their own school cafeteria's food... I never thought this information would be useful one day... so for others out there who are randomly struck by the halerious usefulness of various fast food restaurant facts... don't delete this page

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this article or its place on Wikipedia. There is also nothing wrong with liking McDonald's, which I do. Tis funny how you have such a strong position against the company by commanding us too think like you. Reality check, I make my own decisions and am tired of people telling me what I can or can't like. I don't know where you live, but in America I'm allowed to like whatever I want and am allowed to also disagree with you, which I do. Strongly. Fadedroots 07:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Breakfast Bagels
Breakfast bagel sandwiches had an emergence for a while - they were in the midwest in 1999, made their way out west in 2002 I think. Are they still around? --Dennis The TIger 18:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


 * We have breakfast bagels nationwide here in the UK, a recent addition to the menu. Kryz 22:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Big Breakfast and corn soup
Should the Big Breakfast be added? And in Taiwan, the McDonalds there serve corn soup, bagels for breakfast, and tea. Wizrdwarts 00:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, throw in the big breakfast. =^^= --Dennis The TIger 20:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hawaii
I know the Hulaburger had pineapple on it, but I didn't see any pineapple topping as an option for burgers when I was in Oahu in 2003 and 2005. They did offer fresh pineapple as a side for breakfast meals, though.

Another thing that I saw there in 2005 that may have just been a novelty and not a permanent menu item were. They were small, fried fish cakes, similar in size to a McNugget, and much different in taste and texture from a Filet O' Fish. They were offered with a sweet chili sauce. Here's a picture: http://rumored.com/photos/20050430/thumb/20050430%20060.jpg
 * Those are Fish McDippers. In Tokyo, they were sold with either Sweet Chili, Wasabi, or Tartar Sauce.  They were supposed to be permanent menu items, but they sold poorly here and were pulled from the menu.  --awh (Talk) 06:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Cheeseburger Picture
The current picture of the cheeseburger is not a good one. Maybe one from the McDonalds website would be better.

It's old, too. We haven't used cheeseburger wraps like that in a few years. That give me an idea, though, I can sneak in my camera and snap a few good pics of our products at work tomorrow. Gus 02:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

It might occur to you that even though the U. S. of A. doesn't use that wrapping anymore, it doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't. For one, I live in Australia and we still use the "old" style wrapping.

Small edit on the Filet-O-Fish topic
I decided to edit the Filet-O-Fish topic on the menu items in order to be more specific on the discussion of Big Boy with a creation of the Frisch's topic. Frisch's is the local chain in Cincinnati that McDonald's introduced the fish sandwich. Spongefan 00:16, June 19 2006 (UTC)

Quarter Pounder article
The Quarter Pounder article should not be merged here, as it is not a menu item that is exclusive to McDonald's. Wimpy, for example, also has a Quarter Pounder on its menu.

 * No, it should not, and I shall remove the tag, as there has been no discussion in three weeks. The Quarter Pounder article is still horrible, though.  Pr oh ib it O ni o n s   (T) 14:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Quick Glance revels mistakes
1. the meat in big macs and ham/cheesburgers is 10:1 i.e. 1/10th oz(stupid imperial weight...) it may be 10.6 before cooking but certainly not after wards. 2 the hula burger. This was not invented in hawaii but in (i think location may be wrong) michigan. it was the original no meat friday style burger(if you could call it that) it was never very popular, though some Catholics back in the day would eat it. the filet o fish was later and basically replaced it. Also i really hate making filets they smell so bad and i hate everyone who orders them, just get a mcChicken sandwhich you cunts....haha...Owwmykneecap 21:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok i have added some stuff and started the Non Sandwhich section
im getting tired now so please help sort it out, there are many non sandwhich ones in the sandwhich section. I am a current employee so i do(kinda) know what i am on about...sometimesOwwmykneecap 22:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Pounder Burger
It is little known you can buy what is known as a 'Pounder'. This is a Quarter Pounder, with three extra meat pattys. Of course you can order more or less patties to suit your appetite. Each extra patty costs around Australian $3 for each one. The Pounder is not a menu item, but a modification of a menu item. Onenemesis 11:47, 23 August 2006 (EST)

McRib
McRib was placed previously in the Former Menu Items subheader in the main article. Since it is annually marketed still, even if only for a short time, I moved it over to the Sandwiches subheader, and started the Seasonal Items sub-subheader. Germans, take note that this does still also reflect that it is continually offered in your parts.

I also took out the "farewell tour" blurb from the entry. That belongs in the main McRib article.

McJordan
Here in Chicago, when the Chicago Bulls were winning NBA Championships, there was a McDonald's sandwich called the "McJordan" because it was "created" by Michael Jordan, presumably with the ingredients he wanted in a sandwich. While I'm sure this was not a national phenomenon, I would assume similar marketing strategies have been done elsewhere in the world. Perhaps a section could be created for such kichy item? If for no other reason than that I came here because I couldn't remember what was on a McJordan and I'm sure others would wonder the same thing. --Senna27 23:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I remember the Mc Jordan as a quarter pounder minus ketchup and mustard, plus bbq sauce and bacon. The article says onion rings, but I don't think Macdonald's ever had those in the kitchen. I ate quite a few, so it would be surprise me if I was misidentifying onion rings as bacon. Pspehar 23:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hot Dogs
I know for a fact that when I worked at McDonalds in the summer of 2002 or 2003, that they sold 1/3lb hot dogs. The store was located in Southwestern, PA. Chicken45 15:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

New York
McDonalds in New York do not include mustard in their burgers.


 * If that's true, then that is pretty crazy!! - can anyone confirm? --Mikecraig 23:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Undergoing Major Editing
I'm going to be redoing this page, everything out of order. TheListUpdater 23:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice to know. Could I suggest a table? I mean, columns with "product", "locations available", etc. would make this incredible… and a lot easier to digest. wild-gazelle 02:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Big Mac
Removed duplicated and unencyclopaedic description of the Big Mac. Deleted text: Assembly: Bun has 3 parts, heel(bottom), club(middle) and crown(top) bottom sits in bottom of big mac box club and crown sit in top and on them you put mac sauce on both rehydrated onions on both lettuce on both a pickle on the club a slice of American cheese on the heel a the 10:1 sized meat on both sides club gets stacked on the heel piece then the crown goes on top when u close the box.
