McDonald's Secret Menu Sensation: Hash Browns with Oreo McFlurry Delight
In a surprising culinary revelation, a food influencer has sampled some of McDonald's most unusual secret menu creations and declared one particular combination unexpectedly delicious. Ruben Owen, hailing from North Wales, attended a special event in Shoreditch, London earlier this month where he tried fan-favourite off-menu items that aren't available for public ordering.
The Sweet and Savoury Surprise
The standout creation that captured Ruben's taste buds involved two crispy hash browns with an Oreo McFlurry sandwiched between them. In a video clip from the event, Ruben expressed genuine surprise at how much he enjoyed the unconventional pairing. "That's not that bad. I thought it was going to be horrible. I'd have that again," he admitted.
This wasn't merely a passing comment - Ruben went further to suggest this creation deserves a permanent place on McDonald's official menu. The combination of warm, savoury hash browns with the cold, sweet Oreo McFlurry created what he described as a dessert-filled breakfast experience that defied his expectations.
Other Bizarre Creations Tested
The hash brown and McFlurry combination wasn't the only unusual item sampled at the London event. Another creation involved a savoury stack comprising a cheeseburger, BBQ sauce, and chicken nuggets. While Ruben acknowledged he would never normally choose such a combination, he conceded "that's not that bad" after tasting it.
However, the clear winner for him remained the hash brown and Oreo McFlurry sandwich. He elaborated: "The hash browns, the McFlurry, that was really nice. I would never ever have done that one. But I tell you now, that, I'll be doing it again."
A Growing Social Media Trend
This particular combination isn't entirely new to the food scene. Various influencers have been spreading the word about this unusual pairing on social media platforms since at least 2023, when reports first emerged of it becoming a minor trend among adventurous fast-food enthusiasts.
Despite its growing popularity through word-of-mouth and social media shares, McDonald's has confirmed that neither this hash brown and McFlurry creation nor the other secret menu items will ever be made available to the general public. This makes Ruben one of the fortunate few who have actually experienced these unusual flavour combinations firsthand.
McDonald's New Limited Edition Offerings
While the secret menu items remain inaccessible to most customers, McDonald's is launching a new range of limited edition menu items. From today, the fast-food chain will offer:
- Tikka Chicken Wrap
- Pizza Mozzarella Dippers
- Milkybar Crispy Cookie McFlurry
- Munchies Vanilla Cheesecake McFlurry
- Brownie Pie
- Donut Crumble Latte
The Philly Cheese Stack is also making a comeback as part of this limited-time offering. These new items represent McDonald's ongoing strategy of introducing seasonal and special edition products to maintain customer interest and drive sales.
The contrast between the officially sanctioned limited edition menu and the underground world of secret menu creations highlights the ongoing fascination with customised fast-food experiences. While most customers will have to settle for the chain's official offerings, the allure of secret menu items like Ruben's favourite hash brown and Oreo McFlurry combination continues to capture the imagination of food enthusiasts across the country.
