I'm Lovin' It

McDonald's

Ever since its debut on McDonald&rsquo;s menus in 1981, the McRib has been a popular Golden Arches staple. Throughout its sticky existence, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/discontinued-foods-brought-back/anncasano" target="_blank">the McRib</a> has garnered adoration from fans so strong that they&rsquo;ll drive hundreds of miles for their favorite sandwich. The &ldquo;McFib&rdquo; has also earned its share of revulsion, confusion, and most of all, curiosity.

What is it made of? (Spoiler alert: It will probably gross you out.) Why isn&rsquo;t it a permanent menu item? (That&rsquo;s complicated.) Where does it go when it&#39;s off-schedule? (Probably the same mythical place as the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.)

Whether you love it or hate it, how this &ldquo;boneless pork&rdquo; sandwich came into existence - and why it stuck around -&nbsp;is one of the more fascinating tales from the pages of food history. The McRib was not simply whipped up one day by a creative McDonald&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-fast-food-brands" target="_blank">cook</a> on a whim. It took more than a decade to finalize, and was a massive cooperative effort between military food scientists, gourmet chefs, the USDA Marketing Service, special trade interests, and some&nbsp;hilarious marketing campaigns.

Weird History

The Golden Arches seemed incapable of losing their fast-food shine. But the success of the McDonald's documentary Super Size Me took away some of the gloss - perhaps unfairly. The 2004 film earned over $11 million at the domestic box office, an astronomical sum for <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-sentence-documentary-cindy/jacob-shelton">a nonfiction film</a>. Whereas most documentaries are relegated to art houses, this one captured the interest of the nation at large, thanks to its intriguing premise: Director Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's food, three times a day, for a month, keeping track of its effects on his health and mood in the process. He received an Oscar nomination for his efforts.Time was not entirely kind to the movie, though. Super Size Me <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/popular-documentaries-flawed/mike-mcgranaghan">became controversial</a> as claims about its veracity emerged. Some argued that it was biased or contained manipulated information. Others said Spurlock's point was automatically invalidated, because no one eats McDonald's at every meal. Still others pointed out that Spurlock asked viewers to simply take his word about how he felt in the midst of all this unhealthy eating.Whatever you think of the film, the following Super Size Me facts will help put this entertaining, if problematic, documentary into perspective.

Let&#39;s play a word association game. What image do these two words conjure up: Christmas&nbsp;Dinner.&nbsp;You&#39;re probably thinking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-very-best-christmas-food" target="_blank">turkey, sprouts, gravy, carrots, peas</a>, parsnips, and a few other dishes, besides. Well, that may be the case in most countries, but Japan has been bucking that trend since the 1970s.&nbsp;Turkey isn&#39;t a tradition over there; KFC&nbsp;is a Japanese&nbsp;Christmas&nbsp;tradition.&nbsp;That&#39;s right - a&nbsp;finger&nbsp;lickin&#39; good bucket of fried chicken is the go-to Christmas feast in Japan.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-kfc-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">KFC</a> in Japan goes hand in hand with Santa Claus, presents and Christmas trees. But how did this connection come about? Well KFC created a marketing campaign that was so effective that nowadays you can&#39;t have Christmas without KFC in Japan. It&#39;s essential.&nbsp;But you can&#39;t just show&nbsp;up and hope to get your hands on a bucket. The lines for this Christmas dinner are longer than if KFC were doing a one day only deal on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/kfc-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items" target="_blank">a hot dog incased in a bun made out of fried chicken</a>.

List of international <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s menu items</a> you won&#39;t find in the U.S. This list includes weird, delicious, gross, and unusual McDonald&#39;s menu items from all around the world. If you have traveled internationally and visited a McDonald&#39;s abroad, you may have noted that while some of the menu items in McDonald&#39;s in other countries are similar to U.S. items, there are many McDonald&#39;s items that you have never seen before. You can see the items in video form <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeajfFfdyj4" target="_blank">here</a>.

Why is McDonald&#39;s menu different in other countries? It&#39;s simple: they want to sell their food in those countries and people around the world have different tastes and cultural customs that allow them to enjoy some fast food over others.&nbsp;The fast food masterminds behind the McDonald&#39;s empire are smart. 

For example,&nbsp;because cows are generally not consumed in India, there are no menu items made from beef on the Indian menu. Instead, they serve up paneer (a popular South Asian cheese) and chicken-based menu items that are seasoned with masala and cumin and topped with mint mayonaise (a sauce similar to India&#39;s popular mint yogurt sauce). They also serve plenty of vegetarian McDonald&#39;s foods. It&#39;s a perfect example of how McDonald&#39;s uses regional spices and food preferences and adapts those to their international McDonald&#39;s menus.&nbsp;

While McDonald&#39;s abroad locations adapt their flavors and ingredients to please local flavor palettes, they don&#39;t take this too far. Often, McDonald&#39;s in other countries will take local favorites and fuse them with classic McDonald&#39;s dishes and come up with weird McDonald&#39;s menu items in other countries. What are some of the weirdest international fast food items? &quot;Los Beefos&quot;--meatballs covered in crunchy breading from German McDonald&#39;s and &quot;Bubar Ayam&quot;--rice porridge topped with chicken strips from Malaysian McDonald&#39;s is also pretty unusual. Menu items that fuse local fare with traditional McDonald&#39;s flavors (like fried breading and chicken strips) do this because people who come to McDonald&#39;s still want the &quot;Western food experience&quot; when they eat foods they are used to. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Next time you go to Micky D&#39;s and order your same old Big Mac, chicken nuggets or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a> you can be happy (or sad, depending on your taste) to know that in other countries they are eating Chicken Maharaja Macs, McPatatas and Spinach and&nbsp;Parmesan&nbsp;Nuggets rather than your favorite McD&#39;s items. You can take comfort in knowing that there are plenty of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mcdonald_s-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items">McDonald&#39;s secret menu items</a> if you want to mix it up. &nbsp;

The best french fries come in all shapes, sizes and seasonings as they are served up by the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-fast-food-brands" target="_blank">top fast food chains</a> daily. These greasy, salty potato sticks are the perfect accompaniment to a nice cheeseburger, with chicken strips or in some cases, even with a taco or two. Which fast food restaurant has the best french fries? That&#39;s often a matter of opinion but if nothing else, the battle for the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-fast-food-brands?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best fast food</a> fries is a fierce one.

In the traditional sense, McDonald&#39;s french fries are a classic favorite with their crispy outside and warm and steamy inside. But there are plenty of others right on their tail. Wendy&#39;s Natural Cut Fries and In-n-Out&#39;s shoestring french fries are favorites as well.

For those who like a bit more flavor, there is another competition brewing among the Cajun fry makers. Arby&#39;s is known for their spiced curly fries, Rally&#39;s and Checker&#39;s have their seasoned fries and Five Guys provides ample taste and quantity with their Cajun fries. Even Popeye&#39;s Chicken puts out a pretty mean Cajun fries which battles the KFC potato wedges among fried chicken lovers.

Similarly, another trend recently in the french fry world is the introduction of sweet potato fries. Both Carl&#39;s Jr. and Burger King have introduced sweet potato fries recently though some only for a limited time, with mixed results.

So whether you enjoy the crispy straight fries, waffle fries, crinkle-cut fries, those curly fries with the perfect amount of cajun seasoning or even sweet potato fries, there&#39;s sure to be the perfect french fries out there for you somewhere to enjoy with your <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-fast-food-burgers" target="_blank">favorite fast food burger</a>.
