McDonald’s hamburgers, once thought to be indestructible, have never seen the business end of a hydraulic press.
Hydraulic Press Channel is here to change all of that. They begin, innocently enough, with a Big Mac that is systematically turned to burger-mush. Then, many burgers are inserted into an extruder, and the result is what you might expect… projectile burger mush. Enjoy.
We may not understand what they’re saying, but Minions sure do make for some adorable food items. To help promote Despicable Me 3, McDonald’s has created Minion Potatoes.
Shaped to look like the adorable yellow dudes, the tater tots are perfect for dipping, or to assist larger evil food items.
The Minion Potatoes appear to only be available in Singapore, New Zealand, Thailand, and Australia. How do you say ‘that sucks’ in Minion?

Because nothing goes with a good breakfast quite like a razor. McDonald’s once thought so, and, attempting to capitalize on the new disposable razor market, offered a free Gillette Razor with the purchase of breakfast.
The Free Razor with Breakfast Entree was offered in 1978 and again in 1986. One ad even implied that certain facial hair styles were appropriate for each breakfast. Even though, we all know that a Sausage McMuffin is better suited for a goateed gentleman.
Not to be outdone, and wanting their patrons to be well-kept, Wendy’s offered a similar promotion in 1985. Now, if there was only a fast food restaurant that would adopt a similar promotion today, and save men $90 on a razor.

Fast food drive-thrus are certainly convenient. Now, imagine not even having to steer into that narrow driveway, or exerting yourself stepping on the gas. McDonald’s Brazil, and agency DPZ&T, took their fast food to the streets, with a mobile drive-thru window.
Unfortunately named, the Drive-Thruck, it contains all kinds of Mickey-D goodies, and even has the standard pay and pick-up windows.
Hopefully they don’t forget your fries, because they probably won’t be there when you return. Please watch.
To help promote their new line of Signature Crafted Recipe Sandwiches, McDonald’s has created the Frork — a fork and french fries hybrid.
What’s the point of this “fundamentally superfluous” utensil? Since the new Pico Guacamole, Maple Bacon Dijon and Sweet Barbecue Bacon sandwiches are loaded with toppings, the Frork will be there to collect any that spills out.
Sure, you could use an ordinary fork to sop up that condiment, but you’d be neglecting yourself sauce-soaked french fries. The Frork will be available at participating restaurants starting May 5th.
