In U.S has more things in the food, but not just fast food or in comparation with U.K, it's also with many countries in the world

Callie 🇺🇲 and Hana 🇬🇧 deserve a video together, only the two

Hi guys! Hannah here 🇬🇧 This was shocking but not surprising haha 😅 There are so many other options in Korea, so I don't really eat fast food anymore, but my favourite McDonald's item used to be (still is? 😂) the "Hot Fudge Sundae" 😍🤤 How about you??? 🤩

as far as the drinks though, in Europe they rarely put very much ice in the drinks while in the US they fill your cup with ice then add the drink. I think they should have gotten the actual liquid content and conpaired those.

Food Insider! I love these videos! I would love it if you have more of these!

Lauren here 🇬🇧 I’m a slight McDonald’s addict oh no 😬 promise I’ll try to cut down 😂😂😂 are there any special McDonald’s menu items from your countries?

I haven't been abroad much but when I have, it does make me realize how much bigger our portion sizes are here in the States and explains why we have a stereotype of everyone being obese. It also doesn't help that frying is a big thing and our regional foods like gumbo and jambalaya in Louisiana or Tex-Mex here in Texas tend to be pretty high-calorie.

For anyone who doesn’t know. Fast food places in the US have to list ALL of their ingredients by their actual scientific names. So a lot of those "unnecessary" "weird" things are just the scientific names of "regular" ingredients. Also the drinks in the US are abt 75% ice 25% actual drink.

The UK McDonald's small size drinks are the US McDonald's kids' size drink. With that said their (UK) medium and large are our (US) small and medium. The US large is simply an extra large anywhere else.

Thanks :)

Just because fast food is vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy. I’m sure that those things have lists of ingredients that would make your hair curl. And calories galore.

The poor American McDonalds presenter dude was so excited about all the US exclusives and all the girls cared about were the veggie sticks lol. I feel like that segment would have went a bit differently with an all guys panel. :D

[SherriLyles]

The US ingredients list rules are more strict in so that's why we have ingredients listed sometimes twice such as salt etc.

I think it's the first video where I see Christina in a mood like: what am I doing here? 😅

[happyfoxybee]

My favorite group ❤️ I wish Grace was there. Miss her 💕

A major factor in the differences in sizes of the drinks between the USA and UK is ice. We use ice in our drinks, which takes up space in the cup. I would bet the amount of the actual drink itself is more equal than the visual comparison.

In my generation, younger millennial, in America had to watch a documentary called Supersize Me in health class. The show's tl;dr: a man survives solely off McDonalds for an extended period of time. It was filmed in the early 00s when they always had to ask guests "Would you like to supersize that?" and he'd have to say yes every time and make the sizes bigger. The whole point of it was to turn us off from consuming fast food, yet there was a McDonalds across the street from our school. After every class we watched Supersize Me a large group of my class would go to McDonalds. The same reverse psychology is happening to these girls lol!

I live in America and used to eat McDonalds as a kid. Key word is used to, I don’t anymore. I feel dirty while eating McDonalds anymore. Except for maybe the Shamrock shake.
