  • If you believe coke in McDonald's tastes better, you are not crazy, because it's a real thing.

  • You know what is also a real thing?

  • The Mcdonal's secret menu!

  • But how to order from the secret menu?

  • Let's find out with PAA.

  • Hi, I am Shao Chieh Lo, welcome to what people also ask, where I search for something seemingly

  • obvious and share with you some of its PAA, aka People Also Ask, which is a feature telling

  • you what other people are searching on Google that relates to your query.

  • Today's query is McDonald's Coke and Secret Menu.

  • We will talk about why coke in McDonald's tastes better, and What's the deal with

  • Mcdonal's secret menu.

  • So let's start with our first PAA: Why does McDonald's Coke taste better?

  • Google's auto-generated answer is extracted from an article titledThis Is Why Coke

  • Tastes Better at McDonald's Than Anywhere Elsepublished by Reader's Digest which

  • is an American general-interest family magazine founded in 1922 by DeWitt Wallace and Lila

  • Bell Wallace.

  • According to this article,restaurants typically get their soda syrups in plastic bags, but

  • Coca-Cola does something different for McDonald's.

  • The fast food chain gets its Coke syrup delivered in stainless steel tanks,the material keeps

  • the soda fresher.

  • In addition to that, according to the McDonald's website, both the syrup and the water get

  • pre-chilled before going into the soda fountain.

  • And while other places might rely on the dispenser itself to chill lukewarm water, McDonald's

  • uses insulated tubes to deliver the liquid from the fridge to the fountain.

  • Cold water is better for the carbonation because as soda warms up, the CO2 escapes quicker,

  • the fact that water is kept cold at McDonald's enables its coke to maintain its fizz.

  • All of these things combined make coke in McDonald's superior to the one you get in

  • other places, and your tongue can taste the difference.

  • I think you might heard of McDonald's secret menu items likeMcGangBangandPoor

  • Man's Big Mac”, but are they real things?

  • Let's talk about our next PAA: What is the secret menu for McDonald's?

  • Google's auto-generated answer is extracted from an article titledYes, You Really

  • Can Order From the McDonald's Secret Menupublished by Eater, which is a food website

  • owned by Vox Media.

  • This article cited an AMA post on Reddit where a McDonald's manager in Scotland acknowledged

  • that the secret menu really does exist.

  • Here's what she said: You can order from the 'Secret Menu'.

  • Just like with any of our sandwiches, you can add, remove or change ingredients by special

  • request.

  • These are called 'grill orders'.

  • The items on the 'secret menu' weren't invented by anyone officially at McDonald's, it's just

  • a random person's guide to burgers you could potentially 'hack' at McDonald's.

  • Order one and the workers might not know it by name (i.e.

  • Land, Air and Sea burger or the McGangBang) but if you explain what it is, and are willing

  • to pay for all the ingredients, it's just another 'grill order' that we can make up.

  • So they are real, you just need to know how to order.

  • I found a very useful article titledThe Best Secret Menu Options at McDonald's”

  • published on Eat This Not That, providing a very useful guide on how to do that.

  • I will put the link in the description.

  • Basically, you have to give the employee at McDonald's very specific instructions or order

  • specific items and assemble it yourself.

  • For example, you can order One cheeseburger, one McChicken, one Filet-O-Fish and use those

  • components to assemble a Land, Sea, & Air Burger.

  • Today we learned that coke actually tastes better at McDonald's and the reason behind

  • it, the secret menu at McDonald's is real, and how to order from the secret menu at McDonald's.

  • If you made it to the end of the video, chances are that you enjoy learning what people also

  • ask on Google.

  • But let's face it, reading PAA yourself will be a pain.

  • So here's the deal, I will do the reading for you and upload a video compiling some

  • fun PAAs once a week, all you have to do is to hit the subscribe button and the bell icon

  • so you won't miss any PAA report that I compile.

  • So just do it right now.

  • Bye!

If you believe coke in McDonald's tastes better, you are not crazy, because it's a real thing.
