McDonald's menus add wild new items
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 items on its global menu that Americans would really love. Sometimes, an addition overseas is a sort of 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.

In other cases, the chain may 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 United States McDonald's has a partnership with the upcoming "Minecraft" movie. That deal, which hits menus April 1, involves a special version of the chain's iconic "Happy Meal."
