Customer-Suggested QSR Menu Items

Mcdonald’s is Releasing Four New Menu Items for Its ‘Menu Hacks’

— January 28, 2022 — Pop Culture
McDonald's has announced its 'Menu Hacks', which includes four new menu items. The company picked the four items by reviewing various custom orders posted on social media. With mobile and online ordering, customization has been easier to create and allows consumers to get creative with their orders.

The new items include: 'The Hash Brown McMuffin,' 'The Crunchy Double,' 'The Land, Air & Sea,' and finally 'The Surf + Turf.' The Hash Brown McMuffin takes the breakfast favorite Sausage McMuffin with Egg and adds a crispy hash brown inside, and The Land, Air & Sea is a stacked item that consists of a McChicken, on a Big Mac, on a Filet-O-Fish.

McDonald's getting its customers involved and adding their input shows its dedication and appreciation for them. Consumers will be able to order these new menu creations starting January 31st.
