McDonalds Is not one to ruin with a good thing. At least not publicly. But the rumor has for the chain to make subtle and unpublished upgrades to one of their staples: the Burger Bun. Following succeedTrials of the "new bun" in Australia and CanadaThe golden arches rolled the best bun in the world in the coming years.

According to our northern neighbors and those who have decreased, the new improved bun is largely impossible to distinguish from its predecessor on a surface level. But most of the changes have to do with the cooking process itself-mickey d alter the bun recipe slightly so that it includes more moisture, which will in turn have more heat.

Nicola Pitman, Director of McDonald's Innovation and Management Menu Manager, told aCanadian paper It's really about heat retention. The goal of upgrading is that customers "can feel this beautiful hot bun".

"Our guests tell us:" I do not know what you did a little differently, "she continued," but something is really good about this product today. "

The new bread is also slightly repulsed. The upper half (called "the crown"-that knew?) Is slightly shorter, while the lower half ("the heel") is just a little thicker. These two alterations make the bun hotter longer.

Although Australians and Canadians have benefited from these rolls since 2019, McDonald's onlyrecently confirmed that new breads hit most markets over the next two years.Eat this, not that! Exit to the company to comment on the deployment of the United States and, although we had no information on the timing, McDonald's confirmed that Bun's improvements are part of the company's broader strategy to make their classics better than never.

"As part of our recently announcedAccelerate the arches Growth strategy, we areFocus even more on our main menu items - The classics of great tasting that count the most at our customers. This includes the exploration of how we can make our classic burgers even better by focusing on how we cook them and prepare them so that they are hot, juicy and delicious of the first bite. We started to implement a series of small changes that add to a big difference that our customers really notice in some international markets such as Australia and Canada, where we have exceeded customer expectations in taste and quality. . An example of a change we did is the introduction of new grilled breads to a golden brown. These changes will be deployed in several markets in the future, "said the company.

Naturally, our interest has been stung. If new rolls were deployed around the world as we speak, have they already reached US locations? And if so, would we be able to spot the difference? In a week, our team hit McDonald's Drive-Throus in four US cities to try to answer the issue of engraving: where are new rolls? Here's what we found.

New York City

We have already occurred from Bun updates. Our bread in the great apple was hot, with a substantially thicker background.

Los Angeles

This beautiful Golden-Brown bun could only be the product of a slightly updated recipe. Not only the retention track of the height and thermal retention with the promised changes, but this burger just tasted significantly better as a whole. Or was it just that the Californian sun?

Washington DC.

This is the market we have questions about. While the bottom seemed slightly thicker, the summit did not seem shorter, and it was not particularly hot.

Lyme is, conn.

Perhaps without surprise, it does not seem that new rolls went to McDonald's in the small town we sampled. The bun here did not seem only the standard size, but its grill-model was far from perfect and the heat was not preserved.

Overall, we were impressed by new rolls while noting that really, the ancients were always very good. Our taste testers that had already appreciated thecrisp chicken sandwich, however, had a note for the chain: instead of updating this bun, why not just move on to this decadent potato roll for all Mickey D offerings?
