I think you got the gift cards right McDonald's plug does Thank you for watching you want to hear pictures You like toothbrushes better than food I can't believe they like toothbrushes better than food That's just ridiculous So basically we use so many gift cards that we fully broke the machine over there
Starting point is 00:01:58 Thank you so much Wow, what are we got here? This looks so good. Where do we even start off? Nick? Oh, you're already going? What are you going? Alright, Nick, what's my three do you want to fly to first? I said we go across the globe to Hong Kong. Let's do it. What is this thing? It doesn't look like the most appetizing drink on the menu. This is called the McFlote. Pretty good. It's pretty simple. So basically a rupeer float with Coca-Cola instead of a rupee. I give it a six out of ten. I'm getting pretty hungry. Let's head on over to Korea for the triple onion burger. Let's see what it looks like. This has three different types of onions on Some are crispy, some are caramelized, and some are regular. Let's dive in. I don't really like onion I'll do it. Ooh, I kind of like this. I might stay in Korea for a while. After the after case is pretty good.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Some of the onion on the bottom actually gets pretty bitter with this one. And this thing is fully, fully loaded with just tons of onions. So it's a little bit of sharp. I guess this is a six out of ten. I'm with you on that. That's it. That's it exactly my rating. No, actually, I don't like it that much. I'm going to four. If you Italian, we should hit over to Italy. Pistachio. Pistachio with flour. This thing is what I've been waiting for This is thick. Yeah, this is thick. Look at that. Oh, wait a second. This is good. Man, bring your mouth over here. Take a big bite. Let's really look. This is all 9.2 out of 10 for me. It's creamy. It tastes really natural. It's real for McDonald's. What do you think? I'm gonna give it a 9.8. I've never been to Ireland before. Let's see what they got. The Shamrock shake is actually a very evasive menu item at McDonald's. It's iconic. This is the shamrock shake. Ooh, cheers. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:03:33 It's pretty simply a minty vanilla milk. A little too sweet after a couple of tips, so I'm gonna give it like a 7.2, but other than that it's really good I'm going with a 6.9. It's saucy. I don't see you dip in any french fries in your milk shake Man do you ever do that? Yeah, I do. Get out. Oh, put your fire. That was in the comment blog if you should be doing that really. You have you. Next we were popping a quick flight over to the Netherlands. We're trying the home style chicken sandwich

And they sell you all three things to build one giant mega sandwich. I think we start with the Big Mac on the bottom. Lift this up. You're the chef. Lay a fish goes down.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I think like this why do they have it so off center chicken so far we have land sea air but chickens will fly think you feel high enough and they get the good gust of wind and then let's top it off with the last patty and the big Mac we have our land air and sea hack actually looks kind of good yeah we can have man you eat it yeah we should have many want try you look kind of hungry all right one bite challenge all let's see if I can get this in my mouth looks good oh yo that's a mega bite good flavor there's a lot of bad going on I don't like taste the burger Just the fish more and the chicken more. I give it like a 10.5 a time. That's pretty good. Kind of dry, just too much bread. Sheesh, man. I'm cool after that meal.
