@@michael9446 Though isn't matcha naturally green due to the fact that it's just a special form of green tea? While green in the US for a flavor usually means lime, it means green tea in East Asia usually.
I blame shrek lol, the Shrek era of all the nasty dyed green food of the 2000s (green waffles, green Twinkies, green ketchup) has made so many in their 20 and early 30s avoid green foods that aren't veggies like the plague
I'm at that part now and I think I'm quitting the video early. Just going on and on for the dumbest reason, especially given one of McD's signature things is the Shamrock Shake.
Macha Kit Kats are pretty good, so some of those desserts might be as well. As good as bean buns with custard are, that cake actually seems pretty interesting.
Didn’t expect the straight up matcha tea slander here lolol. All jokes aside, to each their own by all means, but I absolutely love all matcha desserts. The more matcha, the better.
I was wondering about that myself, in the US matcha is a more rare flavor But it sounds kind of good to me. The closest thing I've had though was little mochi gooey candy in a plastic tin ans blueberry flavor ones too.
4:00 Ok, dude, is it just the green color? They have a whole choice of green matcha flavoured drinks at starbucks. I'm pretty sure they had matcha cakes there as well.
I live in the East Bay Area near San Francisco and there’s a lot of Asians/Asian Americans so I’m not sure if it’s different in other areas but a matcha cake, matcha cupcake, or even a matcha crepe are as common as getting boba (meaning you can go to the downtown area and on,y have to walk five minutes in any direction to get it)
I gotta firmly disagree about the matcha thing. Matcha is so good and has a really pleasing sweet green tea flavour in desserts and drinks like that. Its very good. but to each their own
i didn't particularly enjoy green tea when i tasted it by itself since i'm someone that still needs to add sugar to black tea, but MAN are matcha desserts heavenly. i remember this one matcha cookie with white chocolate chips i had that had me losing my mind
@@bnashee I totally love most macha sweets I came across. It goes great with chocolate, as well. And I love matcha soft serve. It's one thing to come back to Japan for, really
The Oreo Matcha McFlurry is so good in the Philippines. But it’s usually a limited thing. It’s really good. Sweet potatoes are popular in the Philippines too, but those fries aren’t here. I wanna try those Tsukimi Burgers too. Also, something I miss is the Sweet Soy McCrispy Chicken Fillet in the Philippines. It’s a chicken fillet that is bathed in the Mulan Szechuan sauce albeit under a different name. There’s also the McCrispy Chicken Italiana, which was made to promote a local movie and it was a chicken fillet with the McSpaghetti sauce and a cheese from their cheeseburgers on top.
I've got an idea for a video you could do in future I think would be interesting to hear you talk about. Top 10 bad foods that people think are healthy, it's similar to the fad diets one but I think it would be really interesting.
@@alexstuff21 WatchMojo did a similar list but I think Strider would have that less corporate and more organic touch that would help.

@NolanJohnson-zl2ur Agreed! There is no more wholesome TH-cam than Strider. His videos always brighten up my day!! They're always worth the wait, ESPECIALLY that 3 week wait for the fixing the worst cartoon episodes. That video is definitely one of my favorite videos!
Fun story about an experience I had. I was going on a senior school trip up in the mountains. The night before, all of us seniors stayed at my friend's house (his mother was orchestrating the event and he was a senior). It was about 11:30 at night and some of us were hungry. He decided to run down to the McDonald's which was near their house and order something. I wanted a cheeseburger and he ordered a few other things while he was there. He was the only one in the car. He got back and showed us this weird concoction of stuff. In it was the following: -3 pairs of 2 sausage patties with an uncooked piece of cheese in between the patties, with some diced onions on top. -2 strips of bacon. that's it. My friend didn't check the bag when he left McDonald's and I legit looked at the thing, and back at him and asked, "what in the world is this?" All of us just started laughing in confusion that night.
I felt personally attacked by all the matcha slander, lol. I LOVE matcha sweets, in the same way I love coffee sweets. It's the mix of bitter caffeine and sweetness that really compliment each other, plus matcha is at least SLIGHTLY better for your health than coffee, even if it's still mixed with a bunch of cream and sugar.
Okay but no joke I LOVE matcha and I would be all over the matcha red bean cake. I can totally understand the green being offputting to someone who hasn't had or doesn't enjoy matcha though haha.
I really like how HoodlumsRevenge is starting to be a regular on your channel along with Nin! You guys work off each other so well! Great video man! 👍🏻
Give me ALL the matcha foods! I would love being able to get a caramel matcha frappe! I do agree, however, oatmeal and fruit would be great to get at McDonald's here!
When I worked at Sonic, we sold sweet potato fries and sweet potato tots. I tried them and they tasted and looked burnt after they came out of the fryer. They weren't our biggest seller. Fortunately, they were a limited-time offering.
Sweet potato fries are great! They are easy to burn, though, and when burnt, taste not so great. ... McDonald's sells cakes. It surprises me none that they taste like garbage. ... Tsukimi burger? Yeah, sounds good. I'll make my own though.
Hmmm that's funny I was a kid of the midwest born in the 80s and when you came across the Cake the memory of the flavor came running back, I remember growing up and describing it as...kind of waxy to my taste.
Finland here 🇫🇮 I have eaten mcVegan many times. I am not vegan myself but I always order this burger if I want a bit lighter taste of burger without a ton of grease. McVegan is sometimes a bit dry, depends of who made it. But i'd give 9/10. And here in Finland we also have sweet potato fries once in a while, it's seasonal menu item, just like pepper fries. I don't care for pepper fries but I love the sweet potato fries A LOT! So crispy, tasty and just perfect as it is. No dip needed at all.
My local McDonalds has a tiny party room, but we NEVER bought a cake there. When we had a party there, we always brought our own cake. Usually either at a Safeway or Walmart.
As someone who used to live in Hong Kong for 18 years, I've strangely never encountered the matcha red bean cake myself. It must not ever be on the menu for very long, as I searched and it does indeed exist, I just have never seen it myself which surprised me. If I were to describe the taste of matcha, it has a nice umami flavour that isn't overpowering but just right. Really nice dessert every now and then. A personal HK McDondalds exclusive menu item I love is the crunchy mcpepper (Two patties, cheese, tortiilla chips, onions, and spicy black pepper sauce). I love a good kick of spice in my food, plus the crunch was great
@@ashelygordon669 I mean he does say in many videos that it's just his silly little opinion and as long as you're not hurting anyone, we can be respectful.
Interesting fact about those photos they have for food at these restaurants. They are literal pieces of art, it is made to look as good as possible by a food artist, using the same ingredients that are put on it or a close alternative, like paints for better color. They aren't made to be eaten, and are more to show what is on the sandwich in an appealing way rather than to show what it is supposed to look like, so a lot of the ingredients a shifted around to be visible from one side, making it look thicker than it would be normally. I believe any misinterpretation as to the size isn't intentional, originally at least. It probably became intended, but not to start with, like everything is.
Extra thoughts, it is like a visual representation of the ingredients list, so customers can take one look and know exactly what they will get in the burger. It's just that people take it more literally than originally intended, and corporate took advantage of that. Just my thoughts, anyway. I believe most of these things at least start out with honest reasoning, they just get corrupted over time for a higher up interest.
I would maybe try the matcha bean cake. I love matcha based items but I'm not a fan of beans. I had a red bean paste dessert with sesame seeds. I forgot the name of it but it was good.
Sometimes when I’m bored and got nothing much to do, PhantomStrider comes in with his interesting information to make me invested. But this was right after I went to the dentist, and I do not think this is the best topic after getting your teeth cleaned.
The cake brought back some memories of McDonald's birthday parties from my childhood. I actually asked my mom to confirm that McDonald's provided the cake and she said that they did. So I've tried the cake but have no memory of how it tasted back in the late 90s. Also, my theory on why McDonald's still sells the birthday cake for so cheap even though it doesn't sell well is that it's a loss leader. Kind of like Costco's rotisserie chicken.
Who else thinks PhantomStrider should go back to making Peppa Pig rankings? That show is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, so now would be the perfect time to do so.
All those matcha things look so delicious though 😭. McDonald's McPlant was kind of soggy and I agree it wasn't hefty or dense enough. The sweet potato fries were absolutely great! They were available outside of those countries though.
Your videos were some of my favorites to binge watch when I was in elementary and middle school. I’m now starting college and I’m so happy I found this channel again!
Howdy Strider! The Matcha food items would probably be better in local restaurants instead of Mcdonald's, but those Sweet Potato Fries and mini pizzas look DELICIOUS! I love Sweet Potatos, so those fries would be right up my alley. Jack In The Box also has some interesting, discontinued items, including toys and comics, not just the food. For food, there's the Frings [french fries plus onion rings], the INFAMOUS Monster Burger [the reason the 1993 E Coli Outbreak happened], and the Secret Sauce [which still kind of exists, but only in packets] as a few examples, for toys, they had bendable figures as early as the 1970s, comics with records that featured 70s era Jack and The Jack In The Box Bunch [voiced by Paul Winchell, and the comics are actually really good, I recommend them], and antenna balls as examples.
About the caramel popcorn soft t serve, in Argentina we have always had Dulce de leche soft serve aside from the vanilla one. We also have a combined flavour, which is half and half between vanilla and dulce de leche. The flavour is very good !
It appears the "reoccurring theme that makes Phantomstrider feel repulsed" here is... Mean Greens. Also hearing Dennis speak was like a flashbang after not hearing it in ages. Happy to see him again :3
Hmm. It may not look that good, but I'm a repeat buyer of Häagen-Dazs' matcha green tea ice cream. I might like it. Maybe someday McD's will venture into such exotic ice cream flavors as... strawberry. Or maybe they'll just make it a dip option, like with chocolate.
Thank you for starting out this video with a soft Howdy and keeping such a nice soft tone through the video. Every top 10 video always seems to start off loud with a bell chime like a WatchMojo ripp (honostly tensed up before the video started).
Matche Red Bean Layer Cake looks delicious. I love layer cakes and matcha everything. Also, I really grew foundly of spam in my really short stay on Okinawa - spam & goya are the best combination ever.
Howdy, Strider! Love hearing about food from you! 2:52 Ugh, Ive had matcha flavored things before. Im not a green tea fan, so they tasted awful. Combines with red beans, though, I expect it to taste worse. 13:36 Oooh, these look so good! Kinda like Totinos Pizza rolls, but better!
I have not watched strider in a long time, he’s pretty much one of the few good people on TH-cam, he has small following and makes videos that normally wouldn’t do well with a wider audience, but he makes them anyway , just the positivity from this channel just takes me back
I once had a birthday party at my local McD's when I was seven. I remember being bad at hide-and-seek then, and I remember getting my first gaming system (a red Game Boy Pocket along with Game & Watch Gallery), but I don't remember there being a cake. If there was one, I must have blocked it from my memory.
I'd love to see a video covering smaller fast food joints, both the successes and the failures. If you've ever been to Newfoundland, in Canada then you'll know that Mary Brown's is a local favorite! It's even starting to branch out into the states a little apparently. It's a place I HIGHLY recommend, and their chicken and taters are often considered good enough to rival KFC. Speaking of KFC, there was a moment in the 2010s where EVERY KFC restaurant in the province was shut down to make way for a "home-cooked meal" restaurant chain called Oppy's Diner. This was due to a change of franchise ownership. Needless to say her attempt at a rather extreme and abrupt rebrand didn't go over well. The main complaint was that all of the restaurants were terribly disorganized; some employees in the Corner Brook location didn't even get an advanced notice when their place of work shut down due to landlord disputes.
Howdy, Strider! I am so thankful that I never had the really disappointing sounding Ronald Mcdonald Cake [you'd think that given that Ronald's the mascot they'd actually put effort, but this is Mcdonald's], instead I had different delicious cakes for each birthday. One year I got a birthday cake made from COTTON CANDY ICE CREAM and it was the GOAT. On a different note, I have been researching fast food merch on Worthpoint and I've recently found some really cool Jack In The Box stuff, such as a poster from 1978 that goes into company history, Sooper Scooper magazines with pictures of costumes, advertising folders one of which being a parody of Time Magazine, and other interesting stuff. Worthpoint is pretty cool IMO.
More weirdest McDonald's Items?! Wow! How many more bizarre McDonald's Items can there be? Well I'm definitely curious about it especially when Phantomstrider described it.😮😁🍔🍟
My favorite localised mcdonalds item is from poland, the chikker. It really isn't anything special, it's a bun with a oval shaped chicken piece and an either pepper or mustatd based sauce. But oddly, it tastes really good to me for some reason. I hope it makes it's way through the border here to czech silesia one day.

When I worked at Sonic, we sold sweet potato fries and sweet potato tots. I tried them and they tasted and looked burnt after they came out of the fryer. They weren't our biggest seller. Fortunately, they were a limited-time offering.
That is because they are sugar bombs and sugar burns easily. Putting them on the menu as cooked just like regular fries was a mistake.
Ya know, I'd actually be willing to try that. I like sweet potato stuff but not as much as regular potato stuff
I've watched phantom strider for like... 7 years now... it's nice to see how much he grew over the years.
Mcdonald's in Germany also have the Panzerotti as well, they're called Pizzataschen (pizza pockets)
Ah yes I knew it was familiar for some reason
Sweet potato fries are great! They are easy to burn, though, and when burnt, taste not so great.
...
McDonald's sells cakes. It surprises me none that they taste like garbage.

Tsukimi burger? Yeah, sounds good. I'll make my own though.
As someone who has a kinda Hawaiian family, I have fond memories of my mom or gram making spam & rice; wouldn't expect Mc D's to have it tho!
Those Italian pizza dumplings are now in Poland but with name "Calzone", small, taste is fine but nothing memorable, unlike homemade
I guess it will be a one-off event with them, like with most seasonal offers
in germany too under the name Pizzataschen
Hmmm that's funny I was a kid of the midwest born in the 80s and when you came across the Cake the memory of the flavor came running back, I remember growing up and describing it as...kind of waxy to my taste.

For food, there's the Frings [french fries plus onion rings], the INFAMOUS Monster Burger [the reason the 1993 E Coli Outbreak happened], and the Secret Sauce [which still kind of exists, but only in packets] as a few examples, for toys, they had bendable figures as early as the 1970s, comics with records that featured 70s era Jack and The Jack In The Box Bunch [voiced by Paul Winchell, and the comics are actually really good, I recommend them], and antenna balls as examples.

About the caramel popcorn soft t serve, in Argentina we have always had Dulce de leche soft serve aside from the vanilla one.
We also have a combined flavour, which is half and half between vanilla and dulce de leche.
The flavour is very good !
It appears the "reoccurring theme that makes Phantomstrider feel repulsed" here is...
Mean Greens.
Also hearing Dennis speak was like a flashbang after not hearing it in ages. Happy to see him again :3
Tbh you always have to keep your expectations low when it comes to McDonald’s food
whats with the matcha hate??
6:04 A wild Pup has appeared!
Hmm. It may not look that good, but I'm a repeat buyer of Häagen-Dazs' matcha green tea ice cream. I might like it.
Maybe someday McD's will venture into such exotic ice cream flavors as... strawberry. Or maybe they'll just make it a dip option, like with chocolate.
11:55 as an Australian I do remember the Shrek pasta my Brother used to get it when they were on the menu
Mickey D fries Rule and they are Awesome
9:36 I can vouch for that translation.
2:44 BAMBOO TERRACE FROM SPYRO 3??????????? 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for giving Spyro music some love!!!!
-a very excited Spyro fangirl
The fact that you got loads of people to voice their opinions on this video is great. I actually wanted to try some of these options.
It's always a good day when Strider uploads a fast food video 😁!
Thank you for starting out this video with a soft Howdy and keeping such a nice soft tone through the video. Every top 10 video always seems to start off loud with a bell chime like a WatchMojo ripp (honostly tensed up before the video started).
Perfect combo new strider food vid + breakfast nice. Also friendly reminder feel free to take breaks and not work too hard strider,luv ur vids❤.
Matche Red Bean Layer Cake looks delicious. I love layer cakes and matcha everything. Also, I really grew foundly of spam in my really short stay on Okinawa - spam & goya are the best combination ever.
A good majority of these look really good actually
Yea
Howdy, Strider! Love hearing about food from you!
2:52 Ugh, Ive had matcha flavored things before. Im not a green tea fan, so they tasted awful. Combines with red beans, though, I expect it to taste worse.
13:36 Oooh, these look so good! Kinda like Totinos Pizza rolls, but better!
I love these fast food restaurants!
I'm rooting for you to get 1,000,000 subscribers! I love your channel!
8:50 We in Finland also had these for a little while and I personally loved them. Luckily some small burger joints have them in here.
I have not watched strider in a long time, he’s pretty much one of the few good people on TH-cam, he has small following and makes videos that normally wouldn’t do well with a wider audience, but he makes them anyway , just the positivity from this channel just takes me back
I managed to go through my whole childhood without ever tasting the McDonald's cake. Glad to know I didn't miss anything.
The Panzerotti look pretty good,while the Cheesy Eggdesal looks like it could be good if you added breakfast meat to it.
I once had a birthday party at my local McD's when I was seven. I remember being bad at hide-and-seek then, and I remember getting my first gaming system (a red Game Boy Pocket along with Game & Watch Gallery), but I don't remember there being a cake. If there was one, I must have blocked it from my memory.
McDonald’s certainly loves insane food ideas for fast food standards.
It's a good day when Josh uploads every once in a while. Keep up the good work, bud!
This is one of those comfy feel-good channels i can always come back to no matter how long its been, thanks for doin what you do man
I'd love to see a video covering smaller fast food joints, both the successes and the failures.
If you've ever been to Newfoundland, in Canada then you'll know that Mary Brown's is a local favorite! It's even starting to branch out into the states a little apparently. It's a place I HIGHLY recommend, and their chicken and taters are often considered good enough to rival KFC.
Speaking of KFC, there was a moment in the 2010s where EVERY KFC restaurant in the province was shut down to make way for a "home-cooked meal" restaurant chain called Oppy's Diner. This was due to a change of franchise ownership. Needless to say her attempt at a rather extreme and abrupt rebrand didn't go over well. The main complaint was that all of the restaurants were terribly disorganized; some employees in the Corner Brook location didn't even get an advanced notice when their place of work shut down due to landlord disputes.
Howdy, Strider! I am so thankful that I never had the really disappointing sounding Ronald Mcdonald Cake [you'd think that given that Ronald's the mascot they'd actually put effort, but this is Mcdonald's], instead I had different delicious cakes for each birthday. One year I got a birthday cake made from COTTON CANDY ICE CREAM and it was the GOAT. On a different note, I have been researching fast food merch on Worthpoint and I've recently found some really cool Jack In The Box stuff, such as a poster from 1978 that goes into company history, Sooper Scooper magazines with pictures of costumes, advertising folders one of which being a parody of Time Magazine, and other interesting stuff. Worthpoint is pretty cool IMO.
More weirdest McDonald's Items?! Wow! How many more bizarre McDonald's Items can there be? Well I'm definitely curious about it especially when Phantomstrider described it.😮😁🍔🍟
My favorite localised mcdonalds item is from poland, the chikker. It really isn't anything special, it's a bun with a oval shaped chicken piece and an either pepper or mustatd based sauce. But oddly, it tastes really good to me for some reason. I hope it makes it's way through the border here to czech silesia one day.
I'll be honest when I worked at McDonald's, I struggled with the swirl and decided to make the soft serve like DQ does (stacks in a cone)
