McFlurry Flavors

The McFlurry is the most popular dessert at McDonald's and possibly the most popular dessert in all of the fast food industry. The list of McFlurry flavors includes, but is not limited to, the following flavor options. Some McDonald's locations do feature expanded McFlurry flavor options but each location should offer at least most of the following flavor options.

STANDARD McFLURRY FLAVORS:
  • M&M's
  • Oreo
  • Rolo
  • Butterfinger
  • Snickers
  • Rolo
  • Twix
INTERNATIONAL McFLURRY FLAVORS:
  • Kit Kat and Strawberries - Japan
  • Toblerone - Switzerland
  • Stroopwafel - Netherlands
  • Cadbury Creme Egg - United Kingdom
  • Red Bean - China
  • Exoticas - Mexico
  • Raspberry Flake -  United Kingdom
  • Bubblegum Squash - Australia
  • Kranky (chocolate-covered corn flakes ) - Mexico
  • Strawberry Shortcake - Japan
  • Cadbury mini Eggs - United Kingdom
  • Pistachio - Italy
  • Blueberry Oreo - Japan
  • Pineapple Oreo - Columbia
  • Matcha (Green Tea) - Japan
  • Lime - Malaysia
  • Lakritsi (black licorice) - Finland
MOST POPULAR DISCONTINUED McFLURRY FLAVORS:
  • Praline and Cream
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
The fact that these two flavors were discontinued has created quite the social uprising. Pralines are extremely underrated - what's not to like about a crunchy candied pecan? But for how shocked we are about the Praline and Cream option being discontinued, we are 100 times more shocked that the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup McFlurry flavor was discontinued. I'm not even going to get into it because it makes zero sense. Vanilla + Chocolate + Peanut Better = Best Flavor Ever. Fingers crossed that these McFlurry flavors are revived in the near future!

As you can tell, the flavors of McFlurry's are much more exciting in international locations than they are in the United States but regardless, the standard McFlurry flavors in the frozen form are understandably one of the most popular dessert options that are readily available whenever you feel the craving. What is your favorite McFlurry flavor option?

McFlurry's come in a variety of flavors!

Fried Chicken Club | Chick-fil-A

The Fried Chicken Club Sandwich is one of the more popular items listed on the secret menu at Chick-fil-A. It is essentially the same thing as the Chicken Club Sandwich featured on the regular menu, however the chicken is fried instead of char-broiled. The fried version also comes with a larger bun. If you want to try to make the fried version slightly more healthier, ask for additional veggies and they will throw on some tomatoes and lettuce.

So what, the Fried Chicken Club might not be as health as the regular Chicken Club Sandwich but it does contain the true Chick-fil-A recipe that the food joint has come to be known for.

Oreos are one of the most popular and delicious treats known to mankind.

It's a perfect drink to cool you down on warm summer days or is a good way to treat yourself to something sweet and creamy whenever you are craving something sweet and creamy.

The secret menu also contains many more delicious and refreshing items that are sure to knock your socks off! Plain coffee and regular menu items get boring after a while so why not try something new and different? If you're worried about the sugar overload then we recommend you cut the syrups and drizzle in half to still enjoy the same flavor but with less sugar. It will still be a refreshing and enjoyable drink but your body will thank you for the reduced sugars and that is a win-win situation!

Veggie Whopper | Burger King

The Whopper is the most popular burger at Burger King. Everybody knows that. But did you know that you can also order the Whopper as a Veggie Whopper with no meat? If you are a vegetarian, or are looking to stay away from fast food meat, the Veggie Whopper is a perfect option for you. Instead of the standard meat patty, the sandwich comes with a fresh veggie patty to go along with the tomatoes, lettuce, sauce and buns. It is a pretty simple switch but it is nice to see that Burger King is making an attempt to provide options for non-meat eaters. 

Curious to see what else the Secret Menu at BK contains? You might be pleasantly surprised at the plethora of amazing food options that are available at Burger King but are not listed on their standard menu.

Rodeo Burger | Burger King

The Rodeo Burger off the Secret Menu at Burger King is perfect for those who think the standard cheeseburger is too plain and boring. The Rodeo Burger is essentially a simple cheeseburger on steroids. It's what real men eat while little boys eat cheeseburgers.

There was a time when the Rodeo Burger was on Burger King's Standard Menu but that time has passed. During that much too short stint, people feel in love with the burger, which resulted in it becoming part of BK's Secret Menu

The Rodeo Burger features a burger patty, cheese, (hold on to your hat, this is where it gets crazy), 3-4 crunch onion rings, and sweet, tangy barbecue sauce. If you love barbecue food or feel like living life on the edge, then you should definitely try the Rodeo Burger at least once in the lifetime.

Suicide Burger | Burger King

Does the name Suicide Burger scare you? Don't worry, you are not alone. But the actual burger off Burger King's Secret Menu is much less scary than its name portrays. The reason it is called the Suicide Burger is because it is so large and filling that eating the whole thing in one seating results in a feeling that you very well might explode and well, die.  With four patties, four slices of cheese, and four slices of bacon, the Suicide Burger from Burger King means business and is not for the faint of heart. You should only order this burger if you are truly starving or if you are sharing it with a friend or three.

The Suicide Burger is not the only item listed on BK's Secret Menu. Curious to see what else it contains? There are a plethora of other burgers, sandwiches, shakes, fries, and more! If you're curious, you should certainly check out the rest of Burger King's Secret Menu.

Fries + Onion Rings = FRINGS!

Frings isn't the only brilliant item listed on BK's Secret Menu. The list features burgers, shakes, fries, sandwiches, and more! The next time you visit BK, you should act like a true king and order off the Secret Menu at Burger King.

The BLT Sandwich from Burger King is one of the most popular items on Burger King's Secret Menu. Not only does it contain bacon, lettuce, and tomato (hence the name), but the sandwich also comes with a little extra meat. Although it might sound a little fancy, the Burger King BLT is essentially a Whooper or Whopper Jr with Bacon added to it. If that does't sound delicious then we don't know what does. If you try to order a BK BLT the next time you're at Burger King and the server doesn't know what you're talking about, just order a Whopper or Whopper Jr. with Bacon.

Nachos | Chipotle

Understanding that Chipotle offers Nachos shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Chipotle does sell bags of chips and has all the ingredients necessary for nachos. Regardless, Chipotle does not list nachos on it's standard menu for whatever reason and instead put them on their secret menu.

Toppings for your Nachos from Chipotle can include beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, salsa, corn, sour cream, guacamole, and your choice of meat: braised carnitas or barbacoa, adobo-marinated and grilled chicken or steak. Next time you visit Chipotle, we highly recommend the Nachos from Chipotle's Secret Menu!

Taco Salad | Chipotle

The Taco Salad from Chipotle is one of the more rare items on the chain's secret menu. Unfortunately not every Chipotle location is able to make a Taco Salad because they don't have the proper shells or the right equipment to produce the toasted shells needed for a true taco salad. If you are located in the Southwest, there is a good chance your local Chipotle will offer this secret menu item.

Chipotle's Taco Salad features an extra deep fried tortilla bowl with all of your favorite taco salad ingredients pilled inside. If you visit a Chipotle that doesn't offer a Taco Salad, you can always just order nachos with a your favorite toppings piles on top.

Burritodilla | Chipotle

Chipotle's Secret Menu features the Burritodilla, not to be confused with Chipotle's Quesarito. Some would refer to this half burrito, half quesadilla as the younger brother of the Quesarito. Regardless, both secret menu options are impressive and delicious in their own right. Where the Quesarito is a quesadilla-burrito, the Burritodilla is a burrito-quesadilla. Confused yet? Don't worry, so are we.

The Burritodilla is essentially a regular quesadilla with half the contents of a regular burrito. It is half burrito, half quesadilla, hence the name. It looks like a quesadilla but tastes just like a burrito that has lots of cheese in it. It is like a chicken, or steak, or carnitas quesadilla on steroids. Dip it in a little bit of sour cream or guacamole and you are good to go. If that doesn't sounds amazing, then I don't know what does!

Burritodilla
Don't let the size fool you. Chipotle's Burritodilla means business!



Quesarito | Chipotle

Many people believe that the Quesarito is the greatest food option on the Secret Menu at Chipotle, and rightfully so! The adjective of greatest can be taken as meaning either it is the best tasting or it is the largest item on the chain's secret menu, both of which are true.

The Quesarito combines both a quesadilla and a burrito, hence the name. The massive burrito features quesadillas as the shell instead of just a plain and boring tortilla like every other burrito has. The cheese inside the quesadilla shell not only increases the cheesiness flavor but it also goes well with whatever meat option you elect to include inside the beast of a Quesarito.

Quesarito

Quesadilla | Chipotle

The Quesadilla is the most well-known item on the Secret Menu at Chipotle and rightfully so! Just like any quesadilla from any common Mexican food joint, Chipotle's quesadilla features melted cheese inside a crisp tortilla. What makes Chipotle's Quesadilla so delicious is that you can choose the meat or veggies to be included inside the quesadilla.

The meat options at Chipotle include braised carnitas or barbacoa, adobo-marinated and grilled chicken or steak. You can also include several types of salsa, lettuce, avocado, beans, rice, sour cream, and veggies into your quesadilla or other type of food item from Chipotle

Poor Man's Big Mac | McDonald's

Big Macs from McDonald's standard menu cost around $4. Too expensive for you? If so, or if you just like saving money in general, then you should order the Poor Man's Big Mac off of the secret menu next time you visit McDonald's. There are many ways to save money at McDonald's and this is one of the most popular tricks.

Just order a McDouble with lettuce and Big Mac sauce instead of ketchup and voila, you have a Poor Man's Big Mac! Instead of $4, you will only be paying around $2. Not only will you your tummy be full and satisfied, you will have also saved some cash money! Talk about a sweet deal!

McKinley Mac | McDonald's

The McKinley Mac from the Secret Menu at McDonald's is a beast! For most people, the standard Big Mac from McDonald's is big but the McKinley Mac takes it one step further. Instead of standard burger patties, the McKinley Mac features quarter-pounder patties, Big Mac sauce, and even a large order of fries INSIDE the sandwich. #mindblown

I dare you to order the McKinley Mac the next time you are at McDonald's. Do it, you won't!

Chicken and Waffles Sandwich | McDonald's

Chicken and waffles have some loyal breakfast followers, and rightfully so! Plain and simple, chicken and waffles are delicious together. The combination might sound a little odd at first but once you try it you will realize there is nothing odd about the breakfast duo.

When ordering the chicken and waffles sandwich from McDonald's Secret Menu, you can try straight up asking for one but there is a chance the server won't know what you're talking about. If they seem perplexed by your order, order a Sausage McGriddle and a Southern Style Chicken Biscuit.  Then put the chicken patty between the McGriddle buns and you are good to go! Okay, the chicken and waffles might not be the best chicken and waffles you have ever tried but it is pretty close and comes at a very good price.

Note: chicken and waffles are only available at McDonald's during breakfast hours.

The Penny Pincher | Starbucks

Do you love both Starbucks Coffee AND saving money? Then you should probably order The Penny Pincher the next time you visit Starbucks. The Penny Pincher is a double-shot of espresso that is poured over a small cup of ice. The more ice you use, the more watered down the flavor will be. If you like your espresso with a bold flavor, order The Penny Pincher over just one piece of ice.

If you need to sweeten the flavor a little bit, be sure to use one or two packets of the brown sugar. The sugar crystals help expedite the breaking down of the ice and helps mix the whole drink together in a delicious fashion. Artificial sweeteners don't mix well with straight espresso and ice so make sure to use real sugar.

With The Penny Pincher, not only you do you get you coffee caffeine fix but you also save a little bit of money. I don't think anybody in the world has ever complained about saving money. Another way to save money at Starbucks is by ordering a drink with the size "short." The "short" size is just smaller and cheaper than the "tall" size and allows you to save money while still getting your caffeine fix.

Biscotti Frappuccino | Starbucks

Starbucks' Biscotti Frappuccino Recipe:

  • Begin with a standard frappuccino. 
  • Purchase or bring a Biscotti cookie with you. At some Starbucks locations, Biscotti's are available for sale. 
  • Ask your barista to blend the cookie into the frappuccino.
  • Enjoy!

Warning: baristas are typically very happy to accommodate your drink requests but please be aware of how busy the Starbucks is when you order the Biscotti Frappuccino. Having to blend a Biscotti into a frappuccino will take the barista an extra 1-2 minutes. If the Starbucks is packed with a line out the door, it is best to not order the Biscotti Frap as it will annoy both the barista and your fellow customers.

Puppuccino | Starbucks Coffee

If you go to a Starbucks and ask for a Puppuccino, they will serve you a disposable cup filled with whipped cream for your pup! This is one of the few secret menu items that we have come across that are meant for non-humans, although we are sure plenty of people would enjoy a cup full of whipped cream! The price of a puppuccino depends on the location you visit - many do not charge anything at all while others do charge a small fee.

Puppuccino Recipe for dogs:
  • One small cup
  • Fill with whipped cream
  • Let the pup enjoy!

Puppuccino

This pooch is definitely enjoying some Starbucks for dogs!
In our opinion, any sweet treat for a dog should be free whenever its owner buys something but it's up to the discretion of each location. Regardless if you do have to pay a small price, your dog won't enjoy it any less and to most dog owners that is worth a small price. If you're worried about having to pay for it, be sure to ask "how much is a puppuccino?" when you are placing your Starbucks order. The good news about this item is that you don't have to go to Starbucks to get a puppucino, you can create them at home with your own bottle of whipped cream! Check out the comments below to read about other's experiences ordering puppuccinos and what the puppuccino cost was if it wasn't free.

Hot Sauce Delivery | Del Taco

This post is kind of particular in that it is not a secret menu item that you can order in-store. However, it is pretty awesome and it's a secret so we figured it was worth posting. Instead of having to stock up on Del Taco hot sauces every time you eat there, you are able to order Del Taco hot sauce packets to be delivered to your house!

Stoner Burrito | Del Taco Secret Menu

Do you consider yourself a stoner? Maybe not. But do you have an appetite like one? If so, this Del Taco Stoner Burrito was created with you in mind.

In that case, simply order the half-pound burrito with the ingredients listed above and let the employee(s) know what the item is called and that it is part of Del Taco's Secret Menu. Don't be distraught if you have to explain the recipe to them as you definitely don't want to pass on experiencing this burrito regardless if you are actually a stoner or not. The best way a secret menu spreads is by word of mouth!


Stoner Burrito
Uuhhhhhh.......Can I have four stoner burritos, please?



Bun Taco | Del Taco Secret Menu

The Bun Taco is our favorite item on Del Taco's Secret Menu. It takes the best part of a taco, which is the taco insides, and combines it with the best part of a drive-thru burger, the bun. The Bun Taco is a combination of taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese (which is all hand grated), and a burger bun. If the server at Del Taco doesn't understand your order, which would be shocking because the name is quite obvious, just explain the following recipe and they should easily understand the Bun Taco concept.

Taco Meat + Taco Dressings + Burger Bun = YUMMY!

Del Taco's Bun Taco Recipe:
