McDonald's adds wild new items to menus
The fast-food giant has not stopped innovating in its kitchens while it focuses on value.
McDonald's tends to tease its American customers.
It's not uncommon for the chain to unveil on its global menu items that Americans would really love. Sometimes, an addition overseas is a tryout for the big show, while on other occasions the company seems to be showing off for the world, while leaving out its largest market.

And in yet other cases the chain might have a marketing program with a movie, television show or other property that's unique to part of the world. When that happens, the company simply can't introduce the offering in America.
Currently in the U.S. McDonald's is partnering with the upcoming "Minecraft" movie. That deal, which hits menus April 1, involves a special version of the chain's iconic Happy Meal.
