McDonald's manager confirms secret menu in Reddit AMA thread

Fast food aficionados might be familiar with the secret menus for places like In-N-Out Burger and Starbucks, but just in time for National Junk Food Day, a McDonald's manager has revealed that they too have a "secret menu" that allows customers to order creative variations on standard items.

The tasty revelation comes via a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" thread by orchidhibiscus, who says they are a McDonald's manager from the United Kingdom.

"You can order from the 'Secret Menu'. Just like with any of our sandwiches, you can add, remove or change ingredients by special request. These are called 'grill orders' (i.e. Big Mac no pickle)," orchidhibiscus wrote when asked if they could verify the existence of a secret menu.

Many of the menu items have quirky names like the "Land, Sea and Air Burger" (McChicken and Filet-O-Fish patties added to a Big Mac) and the "Mc10:35" (two McDouble beef patties added to an Egg McMuffin). #HackTheMenu has a list of the most popular secret menu items.

Orchidhibiscus pointed out that the secret menu wasn't created by McDonald's and added that customers may need to explain their menu "hacks" as employees may not know them by name.

Mashable reached out to McDonald's for comment on the secret menu claims. While the company says it doesn't have a secret menu, it did confirm that customers can ask for changes.

"We do not have a secret menu at McDonald's UK. That's because we love the food that we serve in our restaurants and we don't want to keep it a secret from our customers," a McDonald's spokesperson said. "Any requests for extra items or changes to our products are considered at the restaurant manager's discretion and any additional items may be charged for."
