- This is 'Vkusno i tochka', the brand that replaced McDonald's after it leaving the Russian market.
Is it good? What are the differences?
I visited the iconic restaurant, placed in the builiding where the first ever McDonalds in the USSR first served the Western fast food.

As you asked, new video from me, 1 year after:
czcams.com/video/2Gp_YI73tvg/video.htmlsi=-AeQXZrrExDvCW0S
You can tell it's not McDonald's because they got the order right
Haha
That may be because it wasn't ordered in the US.
lol
Wow! These sanctions are REALLY working!
Same here. They never get it right. Would love to try this new one
In 1997 McDonald’s came to Ukraine, my aunt took her kids there shortly after it opened to try it for the first time and she saved all the packaging as a souvenir and put in their glass display case as a memory of going there.
A momentous occasion in anyones life
They'll get a McDiscount on their open heart surgery. McDonald's is trash!
no social media back then, so perserving memory is harder

Hello from The state of Michigan in the US.
I’m thrilled to have found this channel.
Unfortunately, I’ve never been on a different continent other than America.
I’ve been to Canada.(:
I’d love to travel the world someday. But working to pay bills has been my way of life and now that I may have enough $, my body is too sore. So clips like this truly entertain me.
God bless!
Hello from Utah, U.S.A. I love watching this channel. So glad I found it. I love watching this sweet little family. Blessings to Russia from Utah.
It's a pleasure to see people who actually are interested in learning and understanding multiple languages. It always motivates me to improve my language skills.
Hi from Australia.
I love watching your videos and find them very interesting and informative. God bless you and your sweet family. Glad to hear that so many people have gotten their jobs back. Very impressive. Sending you blessings from Utah, U.S.A.
Спасибо 🕊☀🌈✨
Very important question: Was the ice cream machine broken? If it wasn't it is not a true McDonalds.
Now that is funny!
I actually feel sorry for Americans in this regard. I have never experienced ice-cream machine to be broken in McDonald's.. How that's even possible for it to be always broken? 🤷🏼♀️
@@ayahgrig9218 From what I understand, that is what they say when they are cleaning the ice cream machine. I think they have to clean it every few hours. It's just frustrating to want ice cream only to hear the machine is broken. It happens a lot.
@@ayahgrig9218 I feel bad for anyone who eats that crap.
This is why, you are welcome: czcams.com/video/SrDEtSlqJC4/video.html
I would love to see a re-review after a couple of months.
To see how things changed after the stock from Mcdonnalds ends.
Overly sold cheap rubbish that would never fill a working man's stomach.
You mean when they start serving real food?
@@respectedlocalgentleman7108 So why they asked McDonald's to come to Russia comrade?
The production facilities were all inside Russia, so they'll probably keep rolling along as before.
@@respectedlocalgentleman7108 IF you want to eat real food , you go to a restaurant you grandpa.
Zangieff you videos are always very detailed and information. Love to watch.
Thanks for keeping us up to date!
I love the way you think and your positive attitude about different situations
It’s already too much stress and negativity surrounding us to add more 😊
@@Zangieff I watched other Russians that showed that the sauces had McDonald's emblem blacked out. Using left over stock. Once it is gone your experience will change.

In Ukraine Everything is Stolen
@@ragingmonk6080 Did you know Russia’s McDonalds before leaving got all their supplies from Russia? The new Russian McDonalds will function the same as the old McDonald’s because everything they need is already sourced from Russia itself.

Lovely.... own homemade patties
@@natasjamare302 didn’t look homemade to me lol
I love to see the real country through your eyes. Loved you all shopping at the grocery store.
Thank you for these little trips. Much appreciated.
I've been to that McDonalds many times. Thanks for the video. Looks exactly the same.
I'm guessing all that really changed is the branding, and maybe some McDonalds specific items that can't be sourced domestically.
Tim, you old e-begger what you doing here?
How many times have you went to the restroom McDonald's is disgusting it's a laxative
Waiting for russian jeep and russian mercedes.
@@calfeggs they get it from China
I’d love to see more of the place shown at the end of the video. That looked amazing!
Very engaging report and chronicle. Cheers!
This is AWESOME! Great video, thank you!
Just stumbled across your channel and really like the way you chat to the camera. Your English is perfect. Such a positive channel too. Keep up the great work! Craig - Australia
yeah so positive... so peaceful... imagine there was no war going on
I've been to that McD's back in 1992 and I can tell you that in comparison with the other "Soviet" stolovayas of the time, this was a paradise. The good thing with McDonalds was that they believed in local sourcing, so when they started to build that restaurant in Moscow, they were already making factories to supply the ingredients (cheese, meat, bread, etc.). My company was involved in providing one of the machines to make the cheese back in 1989/1990, so I remember all this. So, I think a transition to another local brand name is actually no problem and like another subscriber wrote, the most important thing is that all the people are getting their jobs back. The cherry pie looked like what our Arby's (roast beef) restaurants used to serve. It looked crispy. The McDonald's in the USA are not good any more. The hamburgers taste mostly of black pepper, things are poorly prepared and it has become rather expensive. New subscriber - looking forward to watching your other video.
Agree even in Australia McDonald's food has downgraded...
You could not be more true! Taste sucks,people crave because the additives. You have to eat within 5 min. It's garbage!
The Russians look prosperous.
“The hamburgers taste .mostly of. Black pepper” ok Russian
@@Chicago48 How i wish Mc Donald would eff off from Europe as well, together with KFC, and Burger king, so reducing the obesity level, and saving some money to our NHS. Lucky Russians!
Great job, and I wish all of you the best!
Thanks for what you are doing to the world. Well done.
Less salt is better because in Switzerland, I always feel that the fries are too salty. McDonald's can easily be replaced, here again, there are many gourmet burger places which take away most of the business because the food is much much better for the same price or just a little more.
I wonder if they have a different way of making it. The fries are the most famous items of the fast food chain in the states
@@Rose-jb3rt They use beef extract on the fries in the US, but not in other countries. This makes them non-vegetarian but seems pointless because the fries elsewhere are great.
@@simonbone ohhhh. I see. Okay thank you ☺️
man in sweden I get mixed results some places are too salty and sometimes they put no salt lol and the ice cream is even crazier they gave me 1/3 of the fillings
During one batch of fries they use a salt shaker that dispenses one shake of salt. You are only suppose to have one shake but I've seen people differ to this. Probably this is the reason it tastes different all over.
I personally think we need to give fast food workers a raise as they are more key to society than we think
just wait till they run out of imported ketchup and mustard
Fast food workers are overpaid, not underpaid. In the US they never get my order right, never. That is for all fast food. Out of every 4 visits, one is right.
They make 15 an hour here at McDonald's. They were 15 before the hourly raise changes. But also a 2 bedroom house cost 450,000... So
@I'm your Huckleberry and pay 450,000 for a crap 2 bedroom house.. More even. Also, much more than flipping a burger
Come on, shut up with your bullshit.
I really enjoy your videos, watching from New Zealand
Really enjoying your content.
Amazing video, very informative, we need more videos like this!! New sub😎
cool video, thanks for posting Zangieff!
Thanks 😊
Love your positive attitude ! Oh , and your English is impeccable too ! Greeting from London !
You are so lovely ! Thank you for an interesting Moscow visit to Vkusno and/or Tochka ;)!
I assume all the fresh ingredients (meat included) were locally sourced even when the chain was run as McDonalds, so it makes perfect sense that it's all the same now. different story for the Heinz sauces which I assume were imported. I can only guess they had existing stock, but once that's gone, they'll have to source a local sauce manufacturer. and THAT might make a significant difference in flavour
You scare me--you really think that everything is bad in Russia, horror, we have been feeding ourselves for a long time,we can do without your help at all-in our country there is everything-it's a matter of time to make import substitution, everything was in the USSR and people lived very well, they just showed you that everything is bad and we don't we depend on you......sanctions will be bad for you!!!!! We are living well!!!!
@@user-qh5wf8co5s Everything is really bad in Russia and without the West, society and economy would still be half a century behind.
Winter is coming
@@olafkarlsons6384 you are very mistaken🤣
Yes it would but Russian ketchup is a lot tastier than Heinz. Same goes for Polish and Bulgarian ketchup - it’s delicious and can only make a burger better!
Great clip, very honest and real, nice to know that you can still get the usual foods, no Name Branding needed. Hope you and yours are safe.
Loved your video!
I like your videos. I am American living in Western Europe. I have met many Russian and Ukrainian people and I am grateful for their friendship. You guys are all great!
Спасибо 😊🕊🌈☀✨
They bought the chains from McDonald's meaning they have the equipment. So long as they have the recipe, it should be no different. What makes McDonald's taste so good (despite it being cheap and rather poor food) is the stuff they put on it. Some stuff the US uses is banned in the EU but they still put all kinds of flavourings/additives on the food. Without this, the food would taste crap.
Mcdonalds is shit
@I'm your Huckleberry True, but its the kind of crap you from time-to-time crave. Like, salty chips/fries. OP here had healthier fries but wished he had been fortunate and gotten the tastier fries, i.e. unhealthier salt-laden fries. :D I eat McD's maybe once a month due to that weird from-nowhere craving. I often regret it... but I know next month I'm going to do it again. lolz
Funny thing is ... all the stuff is imported ... so soon or later the quality will go down as "original" stockpile will run out ...
Enough MSG on shit, will make the shit taste salty!
@@AeiousKillhound 98% of all products for Russia’s McDonald’s are made locally. The only option missing from the menu now is Big Mac
Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated by the people. I am very impressed that they have kept the facility and continued to employ the staff. I am sure that they will be able to improve on the offer and it is good that they have a new name appropriate to your country. You are a credit to your country.
Really good and interesting video! I liked and enjoyed it alot! :D
Wow that was the nicest McDonald's I've ever seen. Good review. Almost makes me want McDonald's.
I was curious as to how they would pull off recreating the McDonald’s brand. Very interesting video!
It's the same suppliers, it's mcds. This is how all corporations will avoid our wars and still make the bucks.
well the thing is no1 dares to sue russia for copy cat brands outside russia :P So they can basically do whatever they want if u pull out ur brands from that country. Meanwhile they still make money and they have higher margins. So pulling out is actually a loss for the brands.
is it actually still mcdonalds or are they just avoiding being sued right now by operating a mcdonalds workplace as mcdonalds but just calling it something different to delude that they avoided closure?
the food, place, pictures, system, and items are all the same. just not showing mcdonalds.
is that not literally global copyright infringement? or can you avoid laws like that because its no longer on american soil or surveillenced by american eyes?
It's more so the same suppliers and equipment being used at the plants .the new brand literally just re- bought it from McDonald's. So everything will be the same, up to the packaging factory. They just printed a diffrent logo
there are only a few suppliers that can handle huge orders so it's not hard to get the same crap McD's have made for their chain.
Great job Zangieff! I love your accurate description of the different items, and your positive attitude. It is true this is a good thing for the people who will not lose their jobs, whom I am very happy for.
Yeah, I myself now do care about employment, and understand that all the fancy stuff, labels, etc, is not that important nowadays. Just let people work and live
@@Zangieff lol right, wouldnt that be nice.... *looks over at ukraine*
@@Zangieff work and live.... with blood on your hands! Russian soldiers killing women and childrens in Ukraine! Be proud bastard.
@@Zangieff unfortunately, the Ukrainians can not live and work thanks to you, Russians. Are you not ashamed? If you are not, t s because yu have zero empathy. Zero wit z.
@@Zangieff I’m sure all those Ukrainian kids just trying to get their happy meal had a positive attitude till they didn’t.
I’m keen for Russian McDonald’s. I don’t eat McDonald’s that often but I will definitely try Russia’s version one day it looks yummy
all they did was put lipstick on a pig. same American junk food.
Be careful
It is! And really cheap
U gotta look at the bigger picture, why McDonald’s left
The food in this vid was interesting.
The last time I had McDonald's was about 17 years ago...a simple burger, I requested extra lettuce, got about 20 percent of what this guy got on his burger...interesting.
People's conception of Russia is so off.
Bless Russia.
Thankyou again for your video
Very interesting video! Cool to see the similarities and differences between "Vkusno i tochka" and "Mcdonalds" in the States! I am glad you enjoyed the food, I certainly enjoyed the video!
Human bias - specifically marketing - can also affect the taste of something. There are many videos where they ask people to try something and they are absolutely sure that the thing they tried is a specific product from a specific brand but the result is wrong. I'm sure everything tastes the same it's just our cognitive perception of the product.
So instead of freedom fries they getting führer fries 😂
No
Your comment remind me of the Pepsi Vs Coke taste experiments in the past :)
Well said Julian.
Hello from Missouri in the US! Thank you for the tour!
Thank you Zangieff for showing us this.
That second burger looks more well put together than most fast food places here in the States.
Burger King here on the west coast ( speaking of the biggest chains ) still has a sizeable burger. Five guys are good if you can find one open. Carls , Jack n box, are becoming more and more disappointing each visit. Just make me the same burger i expect ( 1970's size ) and charge me what it takes to make it.....i never go to Mcd's unless its for breakfast sandwich....
@@jeffputman8242 We don't have Carl's or jack in the box here in Ohio. The area of Ohio I live in (Northwestern Ohio) the fast food places are really bad. Sandwiches slopped together, smashed down, no flavor. We do have Five Guy's and it's really good. I try to never go to Mcd's either unless it's for coffee and a hash brown. Mabye a sausage McMuffin with egg. That's about it.
Hooray for Ohio State. Hello fellow Ohioan.
@@jasongates- Hello there.! Go Buck's..!
Guys you realy got this nice tiny Diners. I didnt go to Mc D Burger K or whatever. Found out that these small shops make the best Burger in the US for me as an European.
Very interesting - as a lifelong McDonalds fan my childhood experience was similar. Echoing the sentiments of many others - McDonalds has really declined. Higher levels of automation, yet orders are routinely incomplete or screwed up. There used to be a high level of quality however it seems to vary considerably these days depending on the franchisee.
This is very true. McDonald's these days is awful quality.
in my country the standard cheese burger patty was reduce 1/4 for past 15 years. Their quality was really awful nowdays. i enjoy burger king more than McDonald's because of this.
McDonalds has declined in all areas it takes ages get your food and it isn’t even good, plus most of the time when I order through the drive thru I’m always missing something
Their hamburgers are horrible.

@@Zangieff I wish the effect of sanctions to come was as easy to fix-I am sorry for the people of Russia but over the next 2 years catastrophe is coming and I take no pleasure in it-the idea is to get the Russians to vote Putin out to get relief and to send a message-it is unfair to an extent
What a beautiful city. You have a great personality and way of explaining yourself. It is such a bummer that neither of us could freely or easily visit each others countries...all due to the people we "elect" looking out for themselves.

Fascinating and uplifting to see how normal Russian people are coping in such strange times. Great informative channel, happy to be a new subscriber.
The Russian people are tough and good at adapting.
@@danielaramburo7648 Yeah, but it's just mcdonalds that changed. Ukrainian people probably don't have buildings anymore. and even if, who would go to mcdonalds when you know there are soldiers around the corner who would shoot you in your head that your brain explodes ... i liked this video too but thats not tough... sad world we live in
Everyone adopts. Remember opration PAPER CLIP ? While lot of Hitler's space & rocket scientist were imported to USA just after 2nd world war to establish US rocket program.
@@danielaramburo7648 It's not adaptation, it's just copying. People are not tough, they are just unable to invent something of their own. They play the known “I don't need the west for anything”, and at the same time they try to be the same in many ways.
@@dzejkyyy maybe will help the Russian people become more self sufficient. Surely they have enough carpenters to make replica IKEA furniture. Many foreign products could be made by Russians, solving the unemployment problem.
Great news!! You make a good point about employment for the people. Hopefully the new company will improve the product and open stores world wide. I wish the new company nothing but success. Thanks for the video.
Hello from London. Great video. Hopefully all this crap is over soon so I can visit your beautiful city🙏🏽

Even satan can´t deny the beauty of FEMALES, cause haven`t you all notice: even though females do change their looks by becoming a transgender and males do the same but it`s the males who have to cover their faces with colors, we call "the make up" and afterwards we/the world/ calling them “beautiful womens” - they arent females, so how can they be called “women”? - they are and stay handsome - so how can they be called “beautiful”?. Praise GOD who created EVERYITHING AND EVERYONE PERFERC: FEMALES = BEAUTIFUL AND MALE = HANDSOME. Even satan ain´t denying it even though he tries hard to hide it all.

That`s why there`s saying: Keep your distance from them as often as you can for 2 reasons:

2.) They will not be what they seem to be.
They seem just like your parents, siblings, friends, co-workers - right? - you 100% sure they are? What if they aren`t even humans?
Celebrating our b - days = making ourselves idols for whole 24 hours. Let GOD be our idol always.
Isn`t death and ageing our last enemies that will be found no more? - so why celebrate it?
Be ye SOBER - ALWAYS. For the devil is lurking around.
I wished to be FREE and I was FREED by GOD. Now tell you, why do you wish to remain in slavery?
I have a Brother who truly thinks/believes that a 1 year old child can decide what gender she or he is.
Is truly the TRUTH that much hidden? - i mean the decision about are we boy or girl is not even given to any of us to make, IT WAS AND IS MADE FOR US. We either born as MALES OR AS FEMALES.

I wish we could all just enjoy things together again. Less salt is definitely better. The burger was upside down. I’ve grabbed it like that too. Mozzarella may not be for everyone. I giggled when you explained your experience.
Wow, no one is wearing a facemask.....The Western World, not worth visiting currently. We have some technical issues to work out, political people to throw outa office.
I remember watching the grand opening on the news. Russian companies are very resilient, and this was really refreshing, not only for the preservation of the food, but for the many employees. It also makes me think of other fast food chains that have made it into the money in other countries like Jolly Bee in the Philippines, or Food Panda in the US. Unfortunately I cannot find an example in my own home country of Thailand, possibly because we don't enjoy western fast foods to the same extent. Here the successful food chains are restaurants that provide noodles or something involving BBQ meats and vegetables along the lines of a mix of Korean BBQ and Japanese Suki Yaki. We call it "Moo Krata", in Thai, meaning pan broiled pork. Having said all that, we do eat western foods, especially the financially well to do, due to the high price. Of these pizzas and fried chicken are popular. A Thai company called The Pizza Company seems to be ubiquitous, while the Kentucky Fried Chicken seems to be the only foreign fast food chain to have really been truely popularized among locals (alot having to do with being similar kind of food we usually eat already as well as price).
I spend a lot of time in thailand and I’m obsessed with the pizza company! So goood. Pricey though

The Russian fast food company rebranded in record time, very impressive. They'll have to maintain their quality standards long term, that's been McDonald's selling point forever-their quality never changes. Great video!

McDonald's and quality... yeah, sure.
@@ozzo1542 The bar was not stated. Mc Donalds is pretty much the same anywhere in the world. This doesn't mean HIGH quality but the maintain a fairly consistent Mc Donalds quality.

Interesting to see these kinds of rebranded food chains appear in Russia. I wonder what kind of other 'new' brands they come up with 🤔 Thanks for the video!
The problem here is that it's a desperate attempt to copy-past the West and a western culture, that Putin and Russia postulate that they do not need.
May work with food to a certain extent. Anyone can produce simple junk food like burgers, fries and other stuff 😅.
Taking over a defined and well established product to please the local addicts, they have it even easier than the Japanese (no pun intended, I am just recalling history 😅) in the 1950s/1960. The Japanese and later the Chinese (those are still doing that) copied eagerly any Western product they could get their hands on trying to export the copied products for a lower price. Obviously not the intention here.
With other products this will not work so easy I guess.
For those interested I recommend Roman‘s (NFKRZ channel) video published a few days ago to look into more details about the whole thing …
@@Cairol58 .. well it's not going to work with replacing The French Renault Group with now 45,000 former employees in Russia, have sold it's Russia business and stake in Russian Lada producing company AvtoVAZ, Russia’s biggest carmaker, for only 2 Rubles to a state owned Moscow-based auto-research institute, well knowing that they will not be able to import the electronic components needed to keep up the production of present time Lada's, and so instead are going to reintroduce the production of the Moskvitch vehicles, a Soviet-era car brand dating back to 1946 and went out of production in 1991, but will be possible to produce despite of the sanctions.
@@Cairol58 .. Another thing is that some of the delivery chains to this new fake McD will be leaving Russia, so the final product is going to change, like the Kraft Heinz ketchup that have totally stopped their delivery to Russia, so the old McD packages with the marked out logo is for a reason, because no new shipments will be made.
@@agffans5725 Thank you I am well aware of that. The car will most likely be pre-produced in China, imported as a „semi-product“, completed in Russia and rebranded so it is a „product made in Russia“ 😅. Like everything from this country at the moment it is „fake“ …
Lol, reminds me when my company got bought out. We had to go through the building and cross out the old logo with permanent marker. 🤣

At first I thought this is very similar to how the first oligarchs where made, but I have to agree with your point on how many people can now work again and with the sheer number of jobs re opened I can only feel happy for those ordinary citizens who just want to live their lives
no.
Like ordinary Ukrainian citizens....?
Lets make the life of ppl smiling of killing families, ppl who congrats doing rape etc easier? Whats wrong with you?
Nowadays ppl are to weak to know someone is realy evil
@@ScratchySlide citizens have job and pay taxes so Putler can spend more money on wars so .....
better if they had no jobs and were mad at him
Lol yeah pity the russians how pathetic
It's the ordinary ukrainians who just want to live their lives but I guess you just dont care about the real victims in this war.
The real question is.... Does the Ice cream machine work? ( in America they are always 'broken")
They are so unpopular here cause there are useful cheaper milk ice cream in minimarkets
И мороженое стоит только 40 центов но оно само вкусное
Класс! Рада, что нашла такой канал! Спасибо за практику английского!!! 😍🥰👏🏻
oh my god YOU HAVE THE GOOD PIES! I haven't eaten at mcdonalds out of spite since they changed the pies about 8 years ago in sweden.
I remember the cheesesticks was a total disaster when McDoanlds serve for the first time several years ago.
So many complaints that the cheese is either missing, very chewy, and yes too much oil.
Missing= overcooked
Chewy = undercooked
Too much oil= not strained properly
@@DoctaBuzz Exactly, mixed reactions.
I don't know if any of you heard about Arby's but they got the best cheesesticks around...no problems, ever.
Sadly, today Russian FM Sergei Lavrov suggested that NO Americans travel to 🇷🇺 anymore because your safety can’t be guaranteed AND if you violate laws, you will be jailed why trying to
leave the airport. Welcome to the USSR!
I'm sure any American with a conscience has no idea of ever travelling to Russia again
This is all pantomine trying to wake people up from their slumber in the USA. Just buy some popcorn sit back and enjoy the show. All will be revealed by christmas. Then you will know what I am talking about
@@ben9l351 we'll be watching, been on popcorn since I was 5
North Koreea... same like there. Cant believe this is happening in 2022.
Very nice Thanks !!
Kiitos videosta😋😋
I wonder if what is being served is still from a former McD's warehouse. I would retest after a few weeks to ensure anything that was stored, is not used in the current restaurants.
It's not just Russia, but most fast food chains including McDonalds source as much as they can in the country where they operate, it's much cheaper, and easier than shipping stuff internationally. The factories that process the food would have been licensed to use "official" recipes and meet QA/QC standards for taste and appearance. These places employ a hell of a lot of people when you include the supply chain.
Good idea, will come back there later
Some sauces etc last up to 2 years and some frozen products up to a year
@@Zangieff Will you try Burger KIng?
Of course getting it to taste the same is a great compliment to the US McDonalds as imitation is the greatest form of flattery. The US know their burgers!
McDonald/new owners did the right thing for everyone. Keep those people employed and moving on with their normal lives.
Wait, I thought all Americans were evil Nazi supporter's?
It's going to take quite a bit longer before people in Ukraine can move on with their normal lives.
@@garymostert4811 Yeah with all thosr N4Z15 around i bet things are unusual
@@isakjohansson7134 Hopefully the situation will start to improve once the 'N4Z15' stop their invasion and return to Russia.
@@garymostert4811 Ok you clown
Thank you for the tour. I have enjoyed your channel. How about a college campus tour with highlights on college life in Russia.
Thanks for sharing this informations. Would be interessint how it looks and taste it after a couple of month or years.
Greetings from Austria!
McDonalds is like that girl that thinks if she leaves she’ll never be replaced lol. Also funny how they made a point to say they can buy the business back within 10 years. Basically a publicity stunt. You’re so cool McDonald’s
This is a clause in the contract. I think McDonald's would like to return to the Russian market after a while, when everything calms down, but is it in Russia's interests to sell this business back? I think if the current owner of the restaurants does not want to sell back the McDonald's restaurant chain under the contract, Russia will stand up for its businessman and McDonald's will not get its restaurants back. Why should Russia let McDonald's enter its market again? So that he again ran away from the Russian market and abandoned the workers?
They suppliers are the same for now. But I would imagine that as time goes on the ingredients will become more and more substituted until it is a very different flavor.
Doubt it. McDonalds deal has it so they can buy all their stores back. Which I have a suspicion McDonalds owns a lot of those "local sourced" factories. So, this puppet company keeps business running as usual until the war is over with.
Why would they substitute it with anything if all the logistics already there ? This is just a McDonalds subterfuge, they sold it to someone but they still can buy their business back in 5-10 years. So basically its just a way of getting out of the sanctions without loosing any money. I wouldnt be surprised if McDonalds is actually taking a cut out of all the sales....
I thought that all the ingredients come from the country that McDonalds is in? I hated the way the burgers tasted in the US as oppose to Europe.
@@srdjankovic definetly localy sourced produce. Well its healthier than what US has. In Europe you are not allowed to use the shitty toxins the USA uses. Mentality here is you first have to prove its not bad for you before you can put it in food, in the US you have to prove it is bad for you so they can put whatever till someone test it. Spain has the best taste for meat at McD as they have tons of cattle.
Yep this won’t last long
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. What about the prices is it the same?.
Thanks for video
Considering how busy it was I guess people miss McDonalds more than some people seem to think
or maybe people just love going to that area to eat.
@@studiobauhaus7740 exactly, a lot of people probably work in that area and need to eat there
Russian McDonald's is 10x better than USA one, it's more like Shake Shack class one... USA McDonald's is nasty
There’s a McDonald’s up the street from us, the only thing I bought was smoothies
Thanks for making this! I was curious if it would be the same thing and is just a bootleg McDonalds, just as Belgium is just a bootleg Netherlands and worse France
lmaoo
Bro thx for good videos i have to ask you is there Happymeals in the new store ?
