    Default McDonald’s in Hong Kong is WAAAY Better than America


    Hong Kong is home to the fanciest McDonald's in the world. It also has some pretty strange food items you can't get in the United States. Shelley and Chris take a break from getting tear gassed by Hong Kong police during protests to try some of the weirdest ones.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    I'm pretty sure that the quality of food at McDonald's can vary greatly from country to country. Most likely, this is due to the peculiarities of the business culture in the country.
    I have not eaten there since about 2005-2007, but I heard from friends that Mac is not the same as it was in the 90s and a lot of more tasty and high quality fast foods exist now.

    Here in the Netherlands, they are generally quite awful so I avoid them. I, for one, wouldn't miss McDonald's if it got chucked out of the country tomorrow. But some of those Hong Kong McDonald's items sound interesting enough to me.

    It’s enough to notice the trend - even in the USA, from a normal family restaurant, Mac turned into a snack bar for the homeless. And Coca Cola is also no longer tasty. They think that by putting people on their needle, they can gradually reduce costs, relying on the force of inertia of thinking. But if in the case of Microsoft it still works, due to the lack of full-fledged alternatives (Linux is still not ready for everything), then in the field of nutrition there are more than enough alternatives.

    If I want to to stuff my face with something - there are countless alternatives to choose from so why should I go to McDonald's ? The only people you see there are families with very small children, bums or teenagers who still think it's "trendy".

    Their chicken burgers are nice but the beef burgers don't taste good, the cheese and bacon taste artificial not like the real thing. Food trucks have good burgers for example.

    McDonald's is the worst in its country of origin , USA according to Americans themselves. Nothing new for me. In Poland it is much better than in the US when according to youtubers.
