Mushup Recipes That Prove Two Foods Are Better Than One

McDonald's offers four new sandwiches inspired by fan creations

Earlier this year, US McDonald's began selling sandwich hacks that were inspired by fan creations. For many years, customers have been creating their own mash-ups of McDonald's menu items and sharing them on social media, but for a limited time, they could officially order them from McDonald's restaurants.

The most popular hack was the Hash Brown McMuffin, a McMuffin topped with a hash brown, while the least popular one was a mix of a Big Mac, McChicken, and Filet-o-Fish called the Land, Air & Sea. Many people say that its combination of Big Mac sauce, tartar sauce, and mayo was disgusting. McDonald's also offered the Crunchy Double Cheeseburger topped with Chicken McNuggets and barbecue sauce, and the Surf+Turf, a mix of a Filet-o-Fish and Double Cheeseburger.

Customers were excited to officially order the hacks, but many were soon disappointed. They discovered that McDonald's employees did not actually build the sandwiches shown in the commercials; instead, they only provided all of the menu items for customers to build their own. "I got six separate sandwiches, "one Twitter user complained. "When did you become IKEA?" another angry customer wrote.
