    12 Menu Items Foodies Wish McDonald's Would Add Already

    By Emmeline Kemperyd updated June 24, 2026 · Published July 14, 2026 · Leave a Comment

    McDonald's is known for localizing its menu and offering unique, sometimes even bizarre, items - from bacon macaroni toasties to chocolate-covered fries. One public forum user asked people what they would place on the McDonald's menu. The answers are a mix of interesting, tasty, and 'not in a million years'...

    The McMystery

    One person shared their idea, "McMystery, a random surprise meal... up to the kitchen staff what goes into your takeaway with a minimum £5 order value." This would unlock a whole new category of YouTube content!

    McDouble Quesadilla

    Another person said they'd like to add the McDouble Quesadilla. Sounds like something the Mexican McDonald's would have, but really every McDonald's should have a McDouble Quesadilla. It would be a great addition to the breakfast menu, or any time of day.

    Bucket of Fries with Different Sauces

    One user commented, "Not completely outrageous, but a big bag full of fresh fries for 10$. Include a bowl separated into 4 sections for sauces." I for one would be running to McDonald's for this quick treat!

    Shamrock Shake

    A Shamrock Shake lover said they would like to make it available all year. Not a bad idea. And while they're at it, make the McRib permanent on the menu too!

    Sad Meal

    One clearly compassionate person commented, "Sad Meal." Wondering what that would be like? Another user said, "The employee gives you a happy meal and then slaps it the hell outta your hands." The internet can really be a dark place sometimes. 

    McTomato

    One person said,  "A tomato. That's it. Just a whole tomato." Now we know what we can do with the tomatoes that people ask to remove from their sandwiches! Maybe add pickles as another menu item?

    Beer Battered Deep Fried Burger

    One fast food lover commented they'll add a beer battered deep fried bacon cheeseburger to the menu. Our arteries are stressed just from reading that, but I confess, it would probably make me a more regular customer at McDonald's...

    McRib Nuggets

    One creative thinker combined McRib and Nuggets, "McRib Nug. It's a bunch of bite-sized McRibs in a nugget box. Just sauce and mini McRibs overflowing in the box." Chicken nuggets may finally have a worthy contender!

    Ice Cream Cups

    A user may just have solved the broken ice cream dilemma. They shared, "Ice cream, prepackaged in a cup that goes in a regular freezer." Genius!

    McCardiac

    A person commented on what they'll add to the menu, "A McCardiac - 6 beef patties, 6 chicken patties, 8 slices of cheese, about a pound of bacon Deep fried and drizzled in beer cheese sauce." The McCardiac sounds like it should be on Man v. Food!

    Pickled Nuggets

    One person had the most bizarre idea on nuggets: pickling them. To quote Alexis from Schitt's Creek, "Ew!" How would that even work?!

    The 80s Menu

    One nostalgic McDonald's fan commented, "I'd revert everything back to the 80s except the styrofoam... deep fry food in beef tallow, fried pies, no salads or pretend healthy food, just greaseball burgers that are proud to be an unhealthy treat." Take us back, please!
