McDonald’s new limited-period ‘menu hack’ requires self-assembly of ingredients (deets inside)

Fast food restaurant company McDonald’s has come up with a series of ‘menu hacks’ for its customers, who are expected to assemble the ingredients and whip a recipe of their choice, in whichever way they like.

According to CNN, McDonald’s loyalists around the world have been creating food hacks of their own for a while now. In fact, these ‘hacks’ became popular on video-sharing social media app TikTok. One of them includes using hash browns as buns. Finally, the fast food company has itself added them to its menu for a limited period starting January 31, 2022.

Per the report, the orders can be placed via the new ‘Menu Hacks’ section on the app or in-person. The customer will be required to do the assembly of the ingredients themselves, because McDonald’s will sell them separately.

Here’s how people have been reacting to the news:
