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.

McDonald's

Wendy&#39;s has a cute little girl with pigtails, Burger King has... well, a Burger King, and McDonald&#39;s has a menagerie of characters who romp about in a magical burgery world called McDonaldland, and it&#39;s as weird as you barely remember. McDonald&#39;s began with only a clown, but as the brand expanded to new markets -&nbsp;and appealing to children became the name of the game -&nbsp;the company branched out with more characters than could fit in a McDonald&#39;s ball pit.

The McDonaldland characters were zanier&nbsp;than those of the other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-frozen-food-mascots/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">franchises</a>, and were featured not only in commercials and toys, but also in an animated series called&nbsp;The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald. The characters continued to serve their burger masters from 1970 until 2003, when the majority of them were retired, making them some of the longest-lasting characters in any non-cereal advertising campaign.&nbsp;

While you might not think of comparing the convoluted character menagerie of McDonaldland to a cast of characters like those in the MCU, let&#39;s not forget that Star-Lord referred to Thanos as &quot;Grimace,&quot; ultimately tying the two together for all eternity.

In the mood for some java but aren&rsquo;t sure what to order? The&nbsp;ever-expanding McCaf&eacute; menu at McDonald&#39;s features hot drinks, frothy sweets, and yes, tons iced coffee options. While the Mocha and Caramel Frapp&eacute;s&nbsp;may be the most popular, there are oodles of other McCaf&eacute; options that are just as good as (if not better than) your everyday Frapp&eacute;.

Take the Iced French Vanilla Latte for instance. With only 190 calories and 6 grams of fat, it&rsquo;s a great pick-me-up that&rsquo;s not overly sweetened. And when you&rsquo;re in the mood for something hot, the Caramel Cappuccino is made with whole milk, caramel syrup, and contains&nbsp;just&nbsp;5g of fat. Not a coffee drinker? No problem. McCaf&eacute;&#39;s&nbsp;Hot Chocolate is only 430 calories and is made with whole milk.&nbsp;What&rsquo;s your favorite McCaf&eacute; menu item?

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>.
