Not sure what to get at McDonald’s? Just combine a Big Mac, a McChicken and a Filet-o-Fish into a single, giant sandwich.

The fast-food giant is rolling out “menu hacks” where customers can choose from four different combinations of their favorites — and which some weaker stomachs might find intimidating.

Breakfast fans who love their Sausage McMuffin with egg and a hash brown can stack one on top of the other and enjoy a Hash Brown McMuffin, for example.

A double cheeseburger doesn’t have to be eaten with the McNuggets on the side. Instead, the nuggets and barbecue sauce can be stuffed under the bun to create a “Crunchy Double.”

There’s also the “Surf and Turf” — a concoction that allows diners to combine a Filet-o-Fish and a double cheeseburger. The “Surf and Turf” is offered exclusively through the app.

Those with outsize appetites can go big with the “Land, Air, and Sea” — a monster mash-up that puts together a Big Mac, a McChicken sandwich, and a Filet-o-Fish.

The new items will be available for a limited time only beginning on Monday.

McDonald’s said it invited fans to create their own menu hacks and post their concoctions on social media. Sarah Sandlin, a social media influencer, came up with the Hash Brown McMuffin.

“I’ve been saying for years that the Hash Brown goes inside of the Sausage McMuffin with egg…that extra little crispy bite is the real breakfast cheat code,” she said.

“This campaign shows that it has never been ‘our menu’ — the menu belongs to our fans,” said Jennifer Healan, McDonald’s vice president of marketing.

Last week, the Chicago-based company announced that it would expand its pilot roll-out of its McPlant burger — the meatless patty created in conjunction with Beyond Meat.

What started as a trial at eight selection locations has now grown into a promotion in some 600 restaurants in and around San Francisco and Dallas-Fort Worth.

A senior analyst said on Wednesday that he was stunned to see sales of the McPlant surpass his expectations.

That "Land-air-sea" looks like it would have a higher mortality rate than ebola!

 

[kunonabi]

These are real lazy especially compared to something like Arby's meat mountain.

 

[Dream-Knife]

No McGangbang?

 

[nush]

 

[chixdiggit]

 

[Rran]

Who's going to eat a Big Mac, McChicken, AND a Filet-o-Fish in one sitting?? Holy moly.

This thing just seems ripe for parody too, blending together all sorts of fast food staples into one stomach-churning smorgasbord...

 

[Come On Tars]

No McGangbang?

Add fries and it was a McClusterfuck

 

[Synless]

Those all look terrible, what a shitty menu hack selection.

 

[belmarduk]

These are real lazy especially compared to something like Arby's meat mountain.

Arby's has really stepped up its game recently.
A carrot made entirely of meat? Yes Plase.
Curly fry flavored vodka? I think it would make a damn good bloody mary
A sandwich so spicy it must come with a milkshake? Sign me up!

 

[drotahorror]

The real news is there's a hot n spicy mcchicken coming.

 

[20cent]

I've done mc muffin + hash brown or with fries instead, but the rest sounds disgusting and random

 

[Alx]

Looks like the output you'd expect from a random generator.

 

[HoodWinked]

I heard you still have to assemble it yourself.

So it's just a front end where you can order the hacked item but the system just translates it to the individual items. So it's basically free for McDonald's to do so why not.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Becoming obese, but fun!

 

[poppabk]

I guess they answered the question of whether they could sink any lower than the 'Saweetie meal'.

 

[nush]

Just wait until they work out a way to sell burger buns with nothing inside.

Sausage, Egg MCMuffin with a hash brown.

That's been on the menu for as long as I can remember for breakfast. Only the hash brown isn't in the burger, it comes separate. It has it's own place in a little paper covering.

Airport and fat fucks menu more like. Weren't they trying to be more health conscious?

Ah yes, I'd love a salad, let's go to McDonalds.

This menu would be laughed at by most people as it's absurd. It's basically the most bought products stuffed into one piece. (Not gonna lie, I barely eat fast-food anymore but I'd try one, just to say I did).


Proof of the breakfast thing;

Start the day with a McDonald's breakfast. Free-range eggs and Board Bia assured bacon McMuffin®, with 100% Arabica bean McCafe® coffee, on our breakfast menu.

Where is deep fried big mac

 

[poppabk]

Where is deep fried big mac

Where is the Mega Mac, made with quarter pounder patties?

 

[manfestival]

I would've been all over this once upon a time. The breakfast one and the crunchy double would've been my kinda thing.

 

[TheMan]

No McGangbang?

Yeah this was the OG hack and probably the most well known one, Im pretty surprised they didn't include it under a different name

 

[StreetsofBeige]

At the pop station, combine 50/50 red fruitopia with sprite. Best ever.

 

[jason10mm]

Where is deep fried big mac

 

[420bits]

Here's a great mcdonalds hack.

Go someplace else.

 

[chromhound]

MC Gangbang?

 

[Woody Nvincible]

Bring back my bagel breakfast sandwich!

 

[Ribi]

Fuck that i always ordered "McDouble w/ shredded lettuce and mac sauce" basically a big mac for 1.20 until the fucked their prices

 

[FunkMiller]

Does the use of the word 'hack' refer to what the surgeon has to do to open up your rib cage to give you the heart bypass?

 

[EviLore]

Stacking gross shit on top of other gross shit doesn't produce any novel outputs.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Nikana]

First two look ok.

Stacking gross shit on top of other gross shit doesn't produce any novel outputs.

Unfortunately, it seems fast food chains encourage this sometimes without a DIY menu, though. I recall some of the horrific inventions that Hardees would come up with and felt more appalled that anyone would/could eat these concoctions. I'm not even going to form a thought or speculation on the amount of sodium and preservatives in any one of these particular items. Right now in Mexico, the government is required to slap large warnings on every mass produced food product in retail which aren't far from the surgeon general warnings seen on a pack of cigarettes. People will still ingest these things but I don't want to know what it's doing to the metabolism, blood cells, etc...

 

[Umbasaborne]

Where can i get a mcfuckitbucket to shorten my time on this mortal plane?

 

[ShirAhava]

By 'fan' did they mean Eric Cartman? mixing meats is super gross

 

[Davey Cakes]

By 'fan' did they mean Eric Cartman? mixing meats is super gross

Bacon burgers disagree.

 

[dorkimoe]

The hash brown one is the only one I would buy. I actually tried my own the other day. It was pretty good. But yeah it’s pretty lazy.

 

[Rat Rage]

 

[ClanOfNone]

lmao, 1330 calories for the land, air, sea sammich alone. Add a large fry and a drink and you get your 2000 daily caloric intake in one meal. Brilliant!

No wonder half the country is obese and pre diabetic.

 

[AJUMP23]

I feel sorry for the employees.

 

[DeafTourette]

Hashbrown McMuffin... I make that already.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Why this wasn't the first response shows how the 2nd poster needs to be banned.

GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET

 

[lem0n]

As a fat guy, no thank you. If you're gonna build a crazy sandwich don't use ingredients you can scrape out of a drain

 

[strange headache]

There’s also the “Surf and Turf” — a concoction that allows diners to combine a Filet-o-Fish and a double cheeseburger. The “Surf and Turf” is offered exclusively through the app.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

One double chinnel with tank ass and a diet bodonkadonk light ice please

I get very little physical activity with my management job (WFH). To me, 2,000 even seems steep.
I'm trying wrap my mind around land, air, sea and how your arteries don't just clog immediately after eating something like that. Or kidney failure from the mass amounts of sodium...
