McDonald’s new summer items include the double chocolate pie, Lotus Biscoff McFlurry, Caesar and sriracha wraps, mozzarella bites and the double Big Mac.
Jacob’s review:I started with the Biscoff McFlurry. This is the item most people are excited for and although it was very nice, it didn’t knock my socks off. I would probably get it again but it could have done with a bit more syrup and biscuit crumbs, in my opinion.
On the other hand, the double chocolate pie really impressed me. I have tried a chocolate pie from McDonald’s while in Asia and really liked it then, so I had high hopes. Although the pie could be slightly creamier, it was really nice and would have been a 10/10 if it was served with ice cream.
I then tried the Caesar with bacon and the sriracha wrap. Both were nice, but the Caesar wrap did impress me more. I didn’t have high hopes but it was a pleasant surprise – although there was too much sauce for my liking. The sirarcha wrap was also nice, and I am happy there is a spicy option, but it is not the best sriracha sauce I have had. With that being said, I would still recommend both of these options.
The mozzarella bites also seemed to spark a reaction online and I was curious to see how it was different to the fan-favourite dippers? Sometimes if they are left too long they loose their consistency so I quickly tried one of the bites when I got back to the office and it was unbelievable. I absolutely love mozzarella dippers – but I will stick my neck out and say these are better. The cheese to breadcrumb ratio is superb and it works as a one-bite snack.
Finally I tried the double Big Mac – which has twice as much meat as the original. As I explain in the video, sometimes when fast food chains try a ‘double meat’ option it just doesn’t work as it throws off the ratios, but this was the first time I think the company has made the right call. The ratio of the Big Mac was improved with the extra meat and, in my opinion, it is better than the original.
