The Absolute Strangest Fast Food Items Available Worldwide

It’s a well-known fact that Americans are major fans of junk food. But they’re not alone. People from all over the world seem to be hooked on processed food, too.

And the tastes of other cultures mixed with the accessibility of fast food has concocted some seriously weird, and sometimes colorful, food!

In America, fast food customers are used to burgers, fries, salads and protein bowls, but those items aren’t so common in other countries. So if you happen to be traveling abroad, you might be able to find the strangest fast food items from Starbucks and McDonald’s.

McDonald’s Loaded Salted Egg Yolk Fries

Be careful when using the word loaded when you order at a McDonald’s in Singapore. Otherwise, you might get a box of fries full of salted egg yolk sauce. Don’t worry! It’s cooked. In fact, the locals use this type of sauce as a cheese substitute.

Starbucks’ Sakura Drinks

All Starbucks in Japan offer Sakura drinks like Sakura Strawberry Pink Mochi Frappuccino, Sakura Strawberry Pink Milk Latte, and Sakura Strawberry Pink Tea, all of which obviously taste extra sweet thanks to the Sakura, or cherry blossom, sauce. But these drinks are only available around spring.

Sea Salt Lemon Flavored Kit Kat

We all know what Kit Kat bars are supposed to taste like. But Japan has put a new twist to the traditional candy by releasing a sea salt lemon variety made with Japanese Setouchi lemons and salt from the Seto Inland Sea in Japan.

McDonald’s Sweet Taro Pie

Taro is a root veggie that is as common in Asian desserts as apples are in American pies. So naturally, the McDonald’s restaurants in Asia offer sweet taro pies that look similar in appearance to the apple pie variants seen in the US.
