It's finally here! McDonald's new Worldwide Favorites Menu has official landed in the U.S., and we got a chance to try it out today. Anyone who's been to an international McDonald's knows how exciting is to try a new take on an American classic (a personal favorite is the Chinese Taro Pie). McDonalds—being the food giant they are—of course picked up on this, realizing that their "U.S. customers are curious about McDonald’s international menu items, and that there was a need "to leverage [their] global scale and offer popular flavors from around the world”. Hence, the Worldwide Favorites Menu.

#1 Stroopwafel McFlurry (The Netherlands)
🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦out of 5
To be honest this treat blew everything else out of the water. Can you even go wrong with vanilla soft serve and crunchy caramel Stroopwafel? Probably not...
#2 Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich (Canada)
🍗🍗🍗🍗 out of 5
This sandwich had us feeling fancy. The tender chicken, juicy tomatoes and fresh mozzarella brought together by a crispy, brioche bun felt thoughtful. And of course it's from Canada. They really can do no wrong!
#3 Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger (Spain)
🍔🍔🍔 out of 5
Sorry folks, but it all goes downhill from here. While McDonald's might have put down a 100 percent fresh beef burger with "smoky McBacon Sauce," all we seemed to pick up was "a quarter pounder with smoky cheese and a weird sauce." We know that this burger was supposed to be special but...
#4 Cheesy Bacon Fries (Australia)
🍟🍟 out of 5
These fries just didn't make sense. While the cheddar-bacon flavor was appreciated, they were quite "A LOT" in terms of the cheese content. After a few minutes, the fries became soggy, heavy, and just not very fun to eat.
