00:00 Hiya, my name's Jacob Pannins, I'm here with Sam Powell, we're reporters from Sussex World

00:03 and today we're going to be trying the new items that have released at McDonald's.

00:08 So we've got the McKrispy Deluxe, we've got the Double Cork Pounder BBQ Sauce and we've

00:13 got the Garlic and Cheese Bites.

00:15 But we're going to start before they melt with the new ice creams.

00:18 So you've got the Galaxy Salted Caramel McFlurry and the Chocolate McFlurry.

00:23 You can't tell which one's which from the top so I guess we'll just have to dig in and

00:26 see.

00:27 So I had the salted caramel one and it's really nice, although they seem to have put all the

00:31 sauce on the base which doesn't make much sense because you've got to really stir it

00:34 and I stirred it and I spilled it all over myself.

00:37 So it's not ideal really, they could have maybe done with putting some sauce on top

00:40 or putting it all the way through, I don't know.

00:42 But I mean it's quite nice, once I had the sauce and I had the McFlurry and the chocolate

00:45 it was really nice but obviously you know, it's a combination of ice cream and chocolate.

00:48 Salted caramel is one we've seen before and it's really good.

00:52 Break of it is 7, it's nothing amazing but it's still quite tasty but yeah the sauce

00:55 at the bottom is just a ridiculous idea.

00:57 What about you, what did you think?

00:58 Yeah so I had the chocolate one, I wouldn't say it's, like you said before, it's not necessarily

01:02 groundbreaking, it just tastes like ice cream and chocolate at the end of the day.

01:06 It's probably, it's not as innovative or different as the salted caramel one, it's just ice cream

01:12 and chocolate.

01:13 Not to say it's not nice but again it's something that we've seen before.

01:18 It's very tasty, I'd probably give it a 6.

01:20 I mean you can't go wrong with a McFlurry but it's nothing particularly too special

01:23 to be honest.

01:24 Yeah I agree with you there.

01:26 Now we've got the cheese and garlic bites and it comes with the tangy rich tomato dip

01:31 and this actually changed last time I think, it tasted a lot different than before so we'll

01:35 get involved, feel free to grab a bowl.

01:38 Yeah that was really tasty, had it with the tomato sauce, had it without the tomato sauce

01:42 and both times really really good.

01:44 Obviously when you get deep fried cheese you can't really go wrong but these are really

01:47 good.

01:48 I remember last time they brought them around they were almost too garlicky, I know that

01:50 sounds ridiculous because they're garlic cheesy bites but the garlic was a little bit too

01:54 overpowering but this time around I think they got the balance just about right.

01:57 I mean yeah, what do you think Sam?

01:59 Yeah you can definitely get the flavour of the, like I said the garlic wasn't too overpowering

02:04 but you still get that hint of the garlic in it.

02:07 I would say the sauce is a bit more tomatoey than I remember it being.

02:11 Still very nice but sometimes I think it kind of overpowers the flavour almost, obviously

02:16 depending on how much sauce you put on it.

02:19 But yeah really tasty and it does go well together.

02:22 Yeah I agree with you there, I think the sauce last time I had it was a little bit more herby

02:25 and I think they've gone back to making it more tomato saucy rather than, yeah I mean

02:30 I think it's better than regular ketchup but yeah it is quite overpowering.

02:32 And what would you give that out of 10?

02:34 I would give that an 8.

02:36 Yeah I think I agree, I think I would probably give it a 9.

02:39 I think you know it's not perfect but I think it's pretty good, it's a lot better than it

02:42 was last time around.

02:43 So and now we've got the two burgers so we will start on the less extravagant one.

02:49 So it's the Quarter Pounder with BBQ sauce, so they've got this with one patty and two

02:53 patties as well.

02:54 Obviously I'm not expecting anything too amazing, it's literally a Quarter Pounder with BBQ

02:58 sauce but let's give it a go and see what we think.

03:02 That was quite nice, I mean a burger with BBQ sauce is nothing amazing, well it is good

03:07 but it's nothing extraordinary, it's nothing we haven't seen before and when I saw this

03:11 was coming out I kind of thought, I mean anyone can get a pot BBQ sauce and just do it themselves

03:15 so I mean it's quite interesting without the mustard and the ketchup like they usually

03:20 do and if this was around all the time maybe I'd get it instead but I mean it's nothing

03:24 extraordinary.

03:25 What about you?

03:26 Yeah I think you might have hit the nail on the head, it just kind of feels like someone's

03:29 got a jar of the BBQ, just slathered it on a normal Quarter Pounder.

03:33 Again it's not something too revolutionary but you just put two nice things together

03:37 and it's gonna be, it's gonna be nice.

03:40 I mean I'd probably give that like a 7 I'd say, again it's nice but not too, it doesn't

03:46 push the bite out of that part in my opinion.

03:48 Yeah I completely agree, I think that has to be a 7 yeah.

03:51 It's nice, I mean any burger with BBQ sauce and cheese and beef is gonna be really good

03:55 but yeah it's really nothing extraordinary.

03:58 So now this is the burger that they're really pushing, it's the McCrispy Supreme, McCrispy

04:04 Deluxe, let me have a look, it's the McCrispy Deluxe.

04:06 So it is a McCrispy fillet, cheese, bacon, lettuce and it's also got a hot and spicy

04:13 mayo in there as well.

04:14 As you can see the bun's quite unique as well, it's almost, it looks a bit pretzel-y almost.

04:18 Yeah I'd say so.

04:19 Yeah so yeah let's see what we think.

04:23 I wasn't expecting to like that too much, I'm not a huge fan of mayo but they've done

04:28 it quite well I think, the sauce and you can kind of see as well on the outside, you can

04:31 sort of see the traditional spicy mayo but it looks like they put another spicy sauce

04:34 in there as well and the spice is really added and I mean I hate mayonnaise but I might even

04:39 get that again in the future, what do you think?

04:41 Yeah 100% I think the sauce definitely makes that burger, the chicken's nice and crispy

04:46 but the sauce and the bun as well I think it doesn't, the sauce sometimes you get it

04:51 so it like soaks up and it gets like soggy but with that different bun it kind of like

04:56 holds its shape and like firmness and really lets the sauce and the meat be like the star

05:01 you know what I mean.

05:02 Yeah 100% I'd really really like that, I'd give that a 9, it's really tasty.

05:06 Yeah I think I'd have to probably give it the same, I mean it's not perfect but yeah

05:09 I'll just give it a 9, 9.5.

05:10 I think it's right up there considering I really wasn't expecting to like it and I swear

05:14 every time McDonald's releases a menu there's always a burger in there and it's got the

05:18 same bacon, it's got the same cheese, it's got a fancy bun and it's just really lacklustre

05:22 but this has actually really really impressed me and I like the McCrispy but it always felt

05:26 like it could be elevated and I genuinely think this elevates it and yeah I think they

05:29 should consider keeping this around because they would sell more McCrispys if they were

05:32 selling this instead of the original but yeah so yeah there you have it so that's what we

05:37 think about the new McDonald's items, make sure you go and check them out and let us

05:40 know what you think as well.
