McDonald’s Hawaiian McSpicy burger is an interesting meal consisting of tender chicken with pineapple ring toppings, fresh lettuce, and bacon. The burger is only available for purchase in Australia and has stirred controversy for its pineapple-embracing recipe.
According to Daily Mail UK, McDonald’s Australia’s November 2024 reveal of its summer menu shakeup, which featured several pineapple-themed items, was met with speculations as people described the pineapple fruit as “the most controversial of all.”
@snatchbeych on Instagram shared an image of the tangy burgers and asked their followers to give their opinions on the meal. The food update site captioned the post:
"Introducing the McDonald’s Hawaiian McSpicy. Tender chicken topped with a juicy pineapple ring, bacon, fresh lettuce, Jack cheese, and signature McChicken sauce. All are served on a toasted Sesame Street bun. This is available in Australia currently. Would you want to see this come to the US? I’m not sure how I feel about this.”
A Netizen commented under the post saying:
“That’s a hard no for me, good buddy,”
Other comments on Instagram expressed similar views about not liking the pineapple-flavored burger on the McDonald’s menu.
No… the meat will get soggy. One added
Another commented, do not bring ts here.
Another section of the comments responded to the question about launching the pineapple-flavored burgers in the USA in the affirmative. Some comments expressed that they loved pineapple burgers.
Yes bring it to the US ! one added.
I don't care what anyone says but I love pineapple burgers. Another user commented.
One commented, Would be a hit in the US 👏👏
Dude I need this to come to the US - A S A P
Some commented and tried to explain to the fast food chain that adding pineapples to the regular burger recipe didn’t make them “Hawaiian.”
So the pineapple makes it Hawaiian? 😂 #haoles
Just because you put a pineapple on something doesn’t make it Hawaiian. Pineapples arnt even Indigenous to Hawaii, to begin with.😂 #dammehs
