Me: I'm gonna go to sleep. 40 minutes later, still googling Mcdonald's menus from different countries because you find the different flavor profiles in sandwich ingredients fascinating.

Germany seems buck wild in certain ways. Fried Brie nuggets, something called the "lauginator," a surprising amount of avocado on things, and all the sandwiches seem really fat and tall with the buns being too smallpic.twitter.com/P3MWVJ1XQa

Egypt is surprisingly close to america's menu, except 1) there is of course a falafel wrap and 2) behold the "TEX MEX BEEF"pic.twitter.com/Q4zkr7hZe0

Russia, also pretty normal except you can get friend shrimp - but the most curious is "the gourmet grill" which is a beef / pork burger with "ripe" cheese, grilled sweet peppers and a garlic lemon saucepic.twitter.com/GqBFvpEoGE

JAPAN: yes, there's fillet o shrimps, peach sodas, more eggs on things, and the famous tsukimi pies, but the thing that's fascinating is how much the menu shifts from breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

I knew Sweden wouldn't disappoint. Hot Wings? Mini Roots?Something called the Big Sticky? But our crowning jewel is the heart-attack inducing Big Karljohan, which is double beef, emmentaler, bacon, pickles, mushroom relish, creamy porcini sauce, carmelized onions, and bacon...pic.twitter.com/Rhf1Fz0mRS

Brazil is fascinating, lots of parma ham, and you can literally just order a side of tomatoes, but my favorite is the McPicanha, which has a "breaded cheese curd" (aka giant flat mozzarella stick) on that burgerpic.twitter.com/SJrsjew4cp

six nights later and... and for some reason I'm doing this again. Argentina! They have a simple bacon burger I kinda wanna try, but the big item of interest is the crispy provleta - which takes their national grilled cheese and turns it into a fun crisp in the burger!pic.twitter.com/GNnQDwIsau

New Zealand is firing on all cylinders. Especially in the name department: The Serious Angus, The Big Cheese, The Boss, The Almighty Texan BBQ (w/chilli chive buns galore), even breakfast gets into with The Massive McMuffin and The NYC Benedict Bagel! But...pic.twitter.com/arQAzBgc06

NZ's real feat is the much ballyhooed "KiwiBurger" with" beef, a freshly cracked free range egg, sliced beetroot, tomato, lettuce, cheese, onions, mustard and ketchup all on a sesame seed bun." Seriously how does this taste with the beetroot??????pic.twitter.com/wDx6rzo8Di

The Netherlands has a burger that translates to the "Maestro Citizen" but it's pretty regular in terms of ingredients. The big curiosity is their inclusion of traditional kroketten (deep fried ragout of various meat and potato / veg) with the McKroket Good?pic.twitter.com/vp3OGb2M5A

So Singapore is interesting. The least beef options of any beef-eating country, they also rock this new Ebi burger with crispy shrimp patties. But for me? The real story? Their buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich with black pepper mayo and grilled pineapple!pic.twitter.com/X9QTMvKWBa

Morocco: so many cute names. The Smoked Big Cheese, The Chicken Mythic, The Little 280, and then... it all comes crashing to the ground with the horror of the "emotipotatoes" which look like the trapped ghosts of dead children.pic.twitter.com/syvJHe8Zvp
