McDonald's Marinara Sauce

In My Humble Opinion
1

Does anyone else find it strange that the marinara sauce for McDonald’s mozzarella sticks comes in such dated packaging?
The design is clearly from ye olde days of McNugget lore and boasts a 1986 copyright date. What is *that * about?

I remember Mc’D had some McNuggets Around the World hoopla back and the early 80’s. With the Japanese theme you got Teriyaki sauce and chopsticks (which amused me to no end). Does anyone else remember that promo? What other past McNugget sauces have there been?

I assume these are just remnant packaging they’ve dusted off to save a buck. Makes one wonder what other leftover supplies they’ve got lying around. Surely Mayor McCheese and Officer McPatty must be lurking about, plotting their return.

All the condiments you could ever imagine.

Oh, and I looked for the McD’s marinara sauce but was unbable to find it. Also, the museum seems to mostly have current versions, not older ones.

I’m just dropping in to say that is a way cool site!

I like it very much, but I really think I’d rather my wife caught me looking at a porn site than this, I think she’d have less questions about my sanity!

But you all here understand, don’t you?

Thanks, bouv!

…McDonald’s has mozzarella sticks? Since when?

6

That’s what I was going to ask. Are they even any good?

7

Nevah knew…
The newest I was aware of is that Asian Salad thingie.

Many McD’s have either regional foods you won’t find other places (try finding a McD’s lobster roll outside of New England (not that you’d want to)) or they have test markets where they try new foods. Sometimes, even if a product doesn’t become one that is marketed everywhere, it might stay in the test market because it did so well there.

With your own customizable fitness DVD!!

(Mom always enjoys the biscuits and gravy when the parents visit McD’s down South.)

10

There’s also McPizza in some places still.

I rarely go to McDs nowadays are there any So Cal-centric test foods?

11

We Illinois folk have the ability to go to the McD’s corporate offices in Oak Brook. The resturant there serves almost all of the offerings that are available at any McDonald’s in the world. And they sell beer.

12

Probably because they also sell beer at the German McDonald’s, including, at the drive-thru window.

13

Nah, it’s probably because all the McDonald’s suits work in the building!

(It’s not a commercially obvious McDonalds - it’s in an office building, with no real signage on the outside. I didn’t even know it was open to the public - I thought it was an employee only thing. Maybe I’ll have to go try McLobster Rolls.)

The McDonald’s in Waikiki offered spam and rice and teriyaki, served by employees wearing aloha shirts and leis. It also included pineapple with every combo meal, but it wasn’t optional and cost an extra $2.50 or so, making my “Number A” Big Mac combo cost $6.99.

15

Do they serve it in a cup with a straw?

16

WHERE WHERE WHERE? I loved this stuff and I was heartbroken when it disappeared. Not that it’ll be anywhere near me, but I can fantasise about planning a trip there.

17

I miss the Cajun McChicken sandwiches already.

18

Anyone else remember the McDonalds Chicken Fajitas? I used to like them as a kid, but they seemed to have disappeared.

19

Still have them here in Edmonton.

I’ve pretty much sworn off fast food and McDonald’s in particular, but I always did have a crazy fondness for the McRib sandwich. And just about everyone I knew who ever tried it loved it too, which made me wonder why they only trotted it out (no pun intended) as a limited-time menu item every few years.
