While the McDonald's menu tends to be mostly the same no matter which location you visit in the U.S., it is wildly different in other countries.

And there's actually a little known way to try some of these unique menu items in the U.S.

McDonald's restaurants can be found in more than 100 countries. Of course, the same menu won't always play well in different cultures.
