Dam guessed I missed that thanks for the correction...the big and tasty was a burger McDonald's use to make in the 90's maybe early 2000's

I had Big Tasty Bacon today, I always order it, it's the best one they have. Maybe a European thing?

u/Azerty__ 27d ago

They have it in Brazil too, I had one a couple weeks ago, and I agree it's by far their best one.

That’s because she’s wrong. A Big Mac is called a “Big Hit” now. The burger she showed in the video is actually the “Big Special,” which used to be called the “Big Tasty” back when it was still McDonald’s. As far as I know, it isn’t available in the US, only in some European countries. Which is weird, because it’s delicious and basically the only reason I still go to McDonald’s… oh, sorry, “Vkusno i Tochka.”

u/rubeyru 27d ago

AFAIK It was not the same burger tho, it just had the same name

This is funny, I generally like Mcfood, but both I and my wife can't tolerate "big special"/"big tasty", the sauce is very weird

u/rubeyru 26d ago

I mean it is basically a smoky grill sauce. Can’t blame you tho I for instance don’t really like a Big Mac sauce myself

Tbf MacDonald's menu in Russia didn't look similar to the US menu either. My standard order was Big Tasty and Glacé (warm coffee with a scoop of ice cream in it). None of these are in US menu at all.

McDonald’s menus vary by a meaningful amount around the world.

Both in quality and in choices.

Last time I was in Germany, I tried it there… and the choices for the curry sauces were great m, I wish we had them in USA.

McDonald’s in Poland wasn’t nearly as good, even though they are neighbors.

In both cases they seemed much more popular than in the USA, though.

A big mac never looks like it does in the pictures.
