We Tried EVERY Food At McDonald's

Rhett & Link, the dynamic duo behind Good Mythical Morning, recently undertook a monumental task: to taste and rate every single item on the McDonald's menu. This wasn't just a casual snack run; it was a full-blown "Gut Check" edition, designed to crown the undisputed champion of McDonald's offerings (breakfast items, thankfully, were excluded).

The Burger Bonanza: From Humble to Double

The journey began with the foundational burgers. The humble Hamburger, devoid of cheese, received a lukewarm reception from Link, who rated it a mere 25, stating he'd "rather have nothing." Rhett, however, found it surprisingly likable at 65. The Cheeseburger, a classic upgrade, saw Link's score rise to 50, acknowledging its classic status despite still being "bread heavy." Rhett, ever the enthusiast, gave it a respectable 72, praising the unexpected star power of the onions.

The McDouble introduced a new dynamic with two patties and a single slice of cheese. Link appreciated the improved meat-to-bread ratio, giving it a 70. Rhett, seeking more, rated it 78, noting it caters to those desiring more meat without extra cheese. The Daily Double, featuring mayo, tomato, sliced onion, and lettuce instead of the classic ketchup and mustard, was a new discovery for both. Link, despite his usual aversion to tomatoes, found it acceptable (as his burger came without it), but both agreed it lacked the quintessential McDonald's flavor, scoring it 65 (Link) and 66 (Rhett).

The Double Cheeseburger, with its two patties and two slices of cheese, was a clear winner in the burger category. Rhett exclaimed, "If you're gonna add another burger, add another cheese!" and awarded it a high 91. Link, equally impressed, gave it an 88, highlighting the perfect balance. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese, a forgotten gem, brought back memories for Link, albeit a bad one involving an undercooked patty in middle school. Despite this, Rhett gave it an 88, appreciating the good ratio, while Link, still scarred, gave it a 79. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe, adding mayo, lettuce, and tomato, saw a slight dip in scores, with Rhett giving it a 70 and Link a 72, finding it a "significant drop." The Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese, while strong in bacon flavor, didn't necessarily improve the experience for Rhett (78) or Link (62). Finally, the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, a meat lover's dream, was met with a mix of awe and a touch of shame. Rhett, admitting he'd order it in secret, gave it a 61, while Link, finding it ambitious but lacking the true McDonald's essence, scored it 49.
