McDonald’s menu adds new version of a much-mocked classic

For years, McDonald's fans have complained that the fast-food giant only releases cool menu items anywhere but in its birth country.

But there's a reason behind this madness, which is why it continues to do so.

The fast-food chain adapts its menu in different countries based on cultural preferences or conveniently available foods that won't hurt operational efficiency. The same goes for limited-time additions or seasonal items.
