American Wife Tries GERMAN McDonald's (Better than USA?) 

It's always interesting to see the menu differences at McDonald's in each country. There are a lot of things in Germany that you can't find on a US McDonald's menu. Have you tried any of these? Let us know your favorites! 🤗💜

"McRib looks like somebody butchered a rat and put it on a bun" - Best description of a McRib I have ever heard. I couldn't stop laughing at that!

In Norway McDonald was forced to use local meat due to the history of all the antibiotics in US meat, so ours taste a lot more juicy I have to say =) Stay safe guys

I am romanian, living in the US. I do not drink Fanta in US, but everytime we are in Germany, FANTA baby..LOL much better in Germany

I am from Bulgaria, but living in Germany for several years now. And i must tell you - the Fanta thing is real! Since living here I have started ordering Fanta, something that I have last done when I was a kid :)

The best thing are the two cute bears on the back seat fastened its seat belt.

Ich glaub ihr müsst mal nen ordentlichen Döner essen gehen, auf die Reaktion wäre ich auch mal gespannt :D

The big problem with sodas in America is, they are all high fructose corn syrup sweetened, so they taste way too sweet, German soda is just way better. So if you take a trip to America, just go to one of their local stores and look for Mexican soda, they taste much better.

I am 25 living in the UK and like fanta, also so does my dad and he is 60! You guys have made me want to come to Germany so badly, want to carry on learning the language too

You need to rewatch “Pulp Fiction” to get the answer regarding quarter pounder vs royal with cheese...

There is something american and german have in common: They want to pay less, but get more. There's no intention to pay more to get something better. It's always price or quality, never both. Everything in between is a compromise.

DANKE das ihr "Ernährungssaboteure" wieder einmal meine Diät sabotiert habt. DANKE NOCHMAL! Ich hab hunger.

The Big Tasty Bacon was once a special buger for a limited time. But it was so popular he made it on the main menu. One of my favorites too.

I worked at McD for a few years. McD has 5 main products, that are the same all over the world. The Big Mac, the Hamburger, the Cheeseburger, the Nuggets and the Fries. The "Quarter Pounder" in Germany is the Hamburger Royal TS and the Royal Cheese. many years ago there was the royal bacon.

Pulp Fiction : Because they have the metric systhem. Royal mit Käse

Come on! Of course we have a Quarter Pounder! It’s called „Hamburger Royal mit Käse“. And the McRib is a standard burger, not seasonal.

I’m Mexican American and I love the orange fanta in Germany! 🍊🍹I always order it lol

I just came across your channel. Great stuff! I work for a German company and I have interacted with a lot of Germans and they can be a lot of fun, but I must say Phil is pretty much off the charts in the personality and humor department. Deana is pretty great too of course. Congrats on the nuptials.

Ihr hättet auch spezielle Produkte wie Apfeltasche, Filet O Fish oder Iced Fruit Smoothies testen sollen. Hätte gerne gewusst, wir ihr darauf reagiert

McRib 2 von 10 Nächste Woche: Ansage von Tanzverbot

I remember when I went to Germany in 1997 on a high school trip, the menu was nothing like what we had in the US. I was in Böblingen, Baden Würtenburg. I remember having fried shrimp and seasoned potato wedges with sour cream. Are these things gone now? I still remember how they taste. 🙂

Ihr seid so unheimlich sympathisch..schau eure Videos so gern!🥰

CONGRATULATIONS YOU GUYS!!! I WASN'T AWARE THAT YOU GOT MARRIED. ICH BIN GLüCKLICH ❤❤❤

Love Deanna, "Holy Smoker doodles" just cracks me up. 😁

I love the mcrib. I'm German and live in the UK, but they don't have it here on the menu. I just love BBQ sauce. All fast food restaurants are closed here in the UK now. I'm so jealous watching you guys. Stay safe x

I'm Portuguese, 20 years old and every time I go Mcd here in Portugal and Germany, I always order fanta!!! So good!! And it's really similiar ours with yours

If sauce doesn‘t cost anything you throw away more .

"Habt ihr Desinfektionsmittel?" Classic German now that corona is kicking. 😁😁😁

Aussie here. My brother loves the McRib, I think it's crap. Also, we call them all burgers here. Also, I'm 37 and always order Fanta.

Als du sagtest "Der McRib sieht immer aus, als ob jemand 'ne Ratte geschlachtet hätte und sie dann in ein Brötchen gepackt hat!" hab ich vor Lachen fast unterm Tisch gelegen! Aber seien wir mal ehrlich....er schmeckt auch so wie er aussieht! ;-)

Five Guys is actually in Germany ;).

I remember living in Germany from the 70's to the 80's, and what blew me away was that McDonald's actually served beer at their restaurants. (Did you notice btw if they still do it?)Like real beer on tap, in a clear plastic cup. I never enjoyed my fast food more than having it with a real German beer. The astonishing thing also was that there were no issues with the patrons being rowdy or wasted, nothing of that sort. I guess Germans just handle their alcohol better than we do. Prost! And thanks for the memories.

I'm 54 never drank Fanta..... ever ....started this year with it, I like it specially the tropical taste !!! you really need to try that!!

For those esring McDonalds, you need to be aware that most countries have different ingredients in their McDonald foods. Aussie french fries at McDonalds contain potato, canola oil, dextrose and mineral salt, which makes it 4 ingredients. Also, Aussie McDonald fries are cooked in canola oil whereas US fries contain lard from beef meaning that French fries in the US are neither vegetarian nor vegan (according to the McDonald website). The US version contains Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [wheat And Milk Derivatives]*), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (maintain Color), Salt. *natural Beef Flavor Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat And Hydrolyzed Milk As Starting Ingredients.in short, McDonald’s French fries in the US have 14 ingredients. This is just a simple example, you might want to investigate what the US McDonalds puts into their chicken nuggets compared to other countries.

Thank you for this "feel-good-video" in this difficult times. Now I have to go to the next McDonald's :)

In the Netherlands we have the McKroket and I agree with you about the Big Tasty. Quarterpounders were my favorite before these, but on the whole I do not like Mc Donalds too much. I am 72 yrs old and my favorite drink is Coca Cola Zero.

I’m from the US but my mom was German so I spent a lot of time in Germany. I only order Fanta in Germany as it’s just orange soda over here, and way too sweet! Love watching you two!

I love how their McDonalds burger looks like the picture and in America it likes like slip form a garbage disposal

In the summer in Nova Scotia, Canada, we have lobster rolls

I think the great success of the McRib is that Barbeque sauce was not known in Germany before that. It taste exactly like the Bulls Eye Sweet Hickory sauce for me. But you couldn't buy it in Germany for many years. The Quarterpounder is the Royal (TS) in Germany. ^^ Haven't you seen Pulp Fiction? ;) I always had the feeling the burgers at McDonalds in the US are soaked in fat, so you taste the oil they use.

You should compare the american McDonald's "Apple Pie" with the european McDonald's "Apfeltasche". I love the EU version way more. Funfact: in Asia they've got a "Pinapple Pie" instead but made in the european "Apfeltasche" stile, which also tastes great. About McD Fries vs. Burgerking Fires: McD was better a long time ago. these days you hardly get them hot, fresh and crispy but medium warm instead and anything else but crispy. Burger King on the otherhand improved greatly. their fries once were like McDs Fries today but improved to what McD Fries used to be. Hot and Crispy Note: not hot as in spicey but actually hot in terms of being served with a high temperature. Burger King Fries clearly win these days. The meat was always better with Burger King, nothing beats the flavor of grilling over an open flame. BUT the extras inside the Burger, like Sauces and lettuce, are much better at McD's... I wonder why though. All in my personal oppinion ofcourse. Cheers Edit: They don't serve the Big Tasty in Austria anymore... what a shame... it was the best standard priced burger. But the Signature collection is great too... you should try the Signature Big Steakhouse though. It coms with a nice barbeque sauce and colsaw salat inside. Its just amazing in tast.

13:39 I am an American and I adore the strawberry Fanta. I just discovered it about a year ago and now I stock up whenever I find it. I wish it came in diet though. Would be nice to save the calories as I normally never drink non-diet soft drinks. That strawberry Fanta is worth it though! I won't tell you my age but I'm old. LOL

Hey guys! Apologies for the long message. I write for a living. I'm Brad from South Africa, and my partner is Tom from Germany. I usually relate to almost everything Deana says, and Tom obviously relates to everything Phil says. Of course, we are always in fits of laughter when your videos are released because of the comparisons. Now, regarding McDonald's. I'm 39 years old, and Tom is 38. And, yes, I always order Fanta, as does Tom. Sometimes I change to Ginger Beer, as we have that option here. The South African Fanta Orange is also darker than in Germany, and it tastes like a mixture between Orange and Mandarin. We also have a choice of different Fanta flavours here, notably Fanta Grape and Fanta Pineapple, which is my absolute favourite. Tom, being German, sticks to his Fanta Orange - like you do Phil 😂. We have numerous items at McDonald's in South Africa that are not on the menu elsewhere in the world. Also, since we love chicken, you can exchange any beef patty for a chicken patty on the menu. Our notable burgers are a McBoerie Burger (Boerewors is a spicy South African pork-beef sausage which we usually throw on the barbeque), served with a sweet garlic mayo sauce and fried onions. We also have the McTasty here, and have had it for many years, but it doesn't contain bacon - it's huge and contains a crazy amount of tomato slices, gherkins, lettuce, onions and lots of sauce, but the beef patties taste different - better quality. We also have the McFeast Burger and a Grilled Foldover, both of which are available in either original or spicy (super spicy and fiery) and in either chicken or beef. The McFeast is a gargantuan burger with double patties, double cheese, sliced tomatoes, gherkins, lettuce, a savoury garlic mayonnaise and McBraai sauce (basically a sweet, smokey BBQ sauce - which is replaced with a fiery chilli sauce if you order the spicy version). The Grilled Foldover is like a large, crispy pita (similar to a Döner in fact), filled with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, grilled chicken (or beef) and garlic mayonnaise or spicy sauce. Oh, and we don't pay extra for sauces. They usually come with the chicken nuggets, and the more nuggets you order, the more dipping sauces they include. Ketchup (which we call "tomato sauce" here) is also always free, and you can ask for lots of it. If you ask nicely, they will even decant some extra garlic mayo or BigMac sauce for you. Thanks for the fantastic videos Deana and Phil. We always look forward to your posts!

As an American who has lived in Germany, the only time I order Fanta is to mix it with Coke because I miss Mezo Mix.

You should come to Belgium once, guys, and try both "Quick" and "Burgerij" which are Belgian hamburger restaurant chains.

I’ve tried McDonalds in a few different countries in Europe and the most drastic difference was the chicken and the sauces for me. They were leagues above what we get at McDonald’s in the US

Oh no I’m craving McDonald’s now 😯😫 Lol it’s past midnight here on Australia and I’m hungry. McDonald’s in Germany looks great

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

We ate McDonalds here just a week ago for the first time and I was so expecting them to taste better, but it tasted about the same! But I only tried the Big Mac and fries. Looks like I gotta try the BIG TASTY. 🤣

Im from Germany and i‘m always drinking Fanta (as an adult). And my favourite is the Royal TS Menu with Curly Fries.

When McDonald opened in Germany they almost didn't survive and were ready to close the doors but then they started to sell beer and the rest is history (Germany has the only McDonald's in the world selling beer)

A funny but true story. In Australia as a joke for april fools day, McDonalds advertised a McPickle Burger. It was a cheese burger with an insane amount of pickles on it. But it blew up in their faces, because customers insisted they sell it. And so they did! So you are not the only pickle lovers out there!

a friend of mine allways calls the mcrib mcautounfall. this descripes it in the best way

When we were in Germany, we frequently went to a couple of McDonald's near Dresden. They had chicken wings separate from the ChickenBox - they called them "Ueberflieger" and they were really good! (I usually had to ask for a separate cup with only ice cubes - the servers just couldn't bring themselves to put enough ice cubes in with the drink). One of the McDonald's in Dresden also had a soda machine like in the States - with free refills. But, the best thing about the McDonald's on the way to Dresden (from Berlin) was the ample parking lot and the free bathrooms!

🤤i expect 9 out of 10 for lot dishes you tasted , 😜 I love all soft drinks including Fanta 😁(it's darker here) I give 10 out of 10 to your video 🥰🥰

I'm 36, Hungarian and I often order Fanta :D I'm travelling to Germany this week, can't wait to compare the taste (I have a feeling it will be the same though).

"Too much meat for me." .. that's what she said.

We had the Big Tasty in the United States about 20 years ago... only it was called Big and Tasty. I will never know why they took it off the menu. It was my favorite. I am told that the Quarter Pounder (which was called the Viertel Pfunder in German McDonald's when I was in the US Army during the 1980s) is the same as the Royal Burger, if you still have that.

You should have tried Apfeltasche or Kirschtasche. I don't think they have those in the US! Schöne Ostern euch beiden!

i'm 45 American, and I work at a Dairy Queen. We serve Orange Fanta, and I drink it alot. Gotta keep hydrated at work. I like it. I also like the unsweetened iced tea and sometimes Sprite or Coke.

I really like McRib.

So, wanted to say about your question, if other adults order Fanta?, that I am 50 and absolutely drink Fanta; Fanta Orange, Strawberry and sometimes Pineapple but, that one is a little sweet for me. Also, they do charge for sauces here in America depending on how many you want and at what particular McDonald's you are at.

Omg the Mc rip is the best burger ever!,

McDonalds Pommes sind Mittelmaß, keine Ahnung warum die manche Leute so hypen. ^^

hey guys! You are in Lower Saxony? Hannover has a Five Guys now!! I also think Germany has better mcdonalds but mostly because it all tastes a bit more like food, i question it less than in the US but also the fries are much better likely due to the frying oil.

I love Fanta and I'm 23 and from the US but my mom is from Germany so maybe all the visits with family made a difference. My favorite thing from McDonald's in Germany was the potato wedges with sour cream. I need to try the big tasty next time I visit if I actually make it to McDonalds

At the beginning the ROYAL TS was named "Viertelpfünder" ( Quaterpounder) . In the Netherlands also named Quaterpunder. in the late 70's in Dortmund opened the first shop of Mcdonalds. Later in the early 80's Sams Quick opened his first shop. No BK or KFC.

McD's Fries are defenitely THE ONLY Fries!

I'm 37 live in New Zealand and love drinking Fanta - nice video guys really enjoyed it!

Cheeseburger pickles are THE BEST! =)

In Brazil the ketchup is free. They put a gallon of ketchup in one table with small plastic cups and just press the button to take.

2:13 Deana I missed your heart animations bubbling up! 🤩

Phil omg... XD "like someone just butchered a rat and put it on a bun" LOL

I must be really old -but I remember when they only had hamburgers, cheeseburgers and fries and I think milkshakes and soda--that's it. No chicken nuggets or Big Macs lol

Deana and Phil I'm from New Zealand I'm 47yrs and I always order Fanta whenever I have takeout food, my 12 yr son is the same. Interesting video what you have at Mc Donalds in Germany.

I love Fanta, and order it sometimes, I am 33 and come from Denmark

The "Big Tasty'" looks just like a "whataburger" I was in Germany for 2 years in the early 1980's. Back then the McDonald's menu was pretty much the same as here in the states. Your comment about Fanta is right on the money! I've actually heard a person order a Fanta, and asked them if they were from Germany or had spent time there! They were German! I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I want to live in Germany for a few years during our retirement. Perhaps in Westfalia. Euskirchen.

LOL, we were stationed in (West) Germany when I was a kid, loved German Fanta, American Fanta is disgusting. Put the (West) so you know I'm old. LOL

Hi guys! 🇿🇦 In South Africa we have the Big Tasty (Without the Bacon😔) and instead of the McWrap we have the Foldover. Love your videos!

I drink Fanta in the England. I’m 30 can’t beat a happy meal lol

I’m an American moving to Germany soon. Haven’t had Fanta since I was a kid (will try one there). Vote for McDonald’s fries over Burger King! Love your videos..

That looked like a delicious McRat sandwich!

We had the signature sandwiches last year. We had the bacon burger during the fall/winter as a limited time offering. There were 3 different ones, my son liked the mushroom swiss they had. No McChicken like that one, no wings, they got rid of the wraps, and have a smaller one, 2 choices, snack wrap with bacon ranch or some other I forget. Fanta, you are right, great in Germany...They are now offering some breakfast sandwiches all day. Like egg mcmuffin or sausage mcmuffin and a few others. They have really gone all out for their coffee products, McCafe...

Ich mag tatsächlich den Signature BBQ am meisten, aber mit Hühnchen. Außer wenn die guten Hüttengaudi wieder da sind :D Nichts auf der Welt kann den Big Rösti für mich besiegen

Hey i am from Germany and for me the best burger mcdonalds had by far was the double chicken Bürger. it had a mustard sauce on it which was absolutly amazing. A few years ago they changed the recipe and now theres Kind of a chilli sauce on it which is nice but Not as nice as the mustard sauce.

I love Fanta and I‘m 29 and from Germany - so maybe it is true 😂

I drink fanta pineapple 🍍. In the states. Um. Old enough to say I saw star wars when it was released, originally! I love that you both are foodies! And I can agree with most of Deana's food preferences! I enjoy watching the videos of Germany 🇩🇪! 🙂

Go to "Hans im Glück"! Chain in Germany.

As a Dutch person I do drink Fanta. Since you are close to the NL border. Please try the Mac Kroket at a Dutch Mac Donald's order one with sauce and without sauce. Also try a stroopwafel Mc flurry if available. I grew up in the West of NL . Parents from Oldenzaal. I studied in Enschede in lived in Oldenzaal, close to Nordhorn/Gronaud for a long time. I am certainly going to visit Dusseldorf for Japanese food. Food insiders does a good job at showing ingredients of US vs rest of the world fastfood ingredients. Usually the US version reads as instructions for making a bomb. I think most of Dutch Mac Donald's is the same as Germany. We also get the hamburger patties from .... Hamburg.

In England, McDonald’s is currently closed! :(

Oh Phil you made me LOL with your comment about the butchered rat on a bun!😂😂😂😂

The burgers I like best at McDonald's are the cheeseburger and the Hamburger Royal TS!

A couple of years ago Chicago did have a Big Tasty but they stopped it due to lack of sales. We also have pay for additional sauces now.

You two are adorable.🥰

I like Fanta and sometimes order it and I’m an adult. Most fastfood restaurants in the USA offer refills, but not all of them. At McDonald’s I think its 1 in 5 that doesn’t offer refills and you just get your drink as ordered, while at the other restaurants you get an empty cup which you can fill yourself. Prices differ a lot as well. Two weeks ago I had an extra small Fanta for $1.00 and today I ordered a large cup for $1.89 and could pick what I liked and as much as I wanted.

I don't know about American McDonald's fries but the German ones suck. BK ones are way better

I'm 49, German, living in Antwerp, Belgium. I'd never ever order Fanta. But I know quite some Belgians who rather order Fanta before Coke.

I prefer McDonald's fries.

In the USA Big Tasty - is only around for six weeks usually around Easter, just like the McRib short term around November..Fried Apple pie added the Pumpkin pie seasonal.. also McDonald's has a Secret Menu. look it up

It's only 10.22 o'clock am here and now I crave McDonald's. Thanks for that.
