Burger was translated to citizien, because the german word "Bürger" means citizen.

"McDonald's is an American company, and you guys get the better food, how is that?" That's because American companies in the US serve to American standards ;-)

The German word for citizen is Bürger which is pronounced like the English word "Burger". So the translation assumes he talks about citizens but he is talking about burgers.

You ever thought about going live? The german community will definitely help you with the language

As for the channel name "Mecces Gott": "Mecces" is kind of a slang word for McDonald's in Germany. However, I would write it differently. "Gott" means God. So the "Mecces Gott" is the McDonald's God… allegedly 😉

In Germany and Austria you get the McFlurry in a cardboard box with a wooden spoon. They are not allowed to use the old plastic spoons to mix your topic under your icecream or give out plastic straws, only paper straws. They try to protect the environment this way.

The McRib is seasonal in the USA due to changing pork prices, It is permanent in Germany because of constantly low pork prices.

While McDonalds is still not healthy in Germany, the quality and quality control of the ingredients is much higher and many additives and preservatives are not allowed overhere. The only bottleneck to really good quality are the restaurants themselves. Unskilled and unmotivated workers and greedy franchise companies that do not keep to corporate standards are the main problem. The ingredients are actually of very high quality when they arrive at the restaurant.

The translation kept confusing Burger (burger) for Bürger (citizen).

And in Germany the Quaterpounder is called Royal mit Käse (Royal with cheese) Because of the metric system 😉 Btw, I need to watch Pulp Fiction again😊

I think in Germany it's not as common to eat out for breakfast, only in big cities maybe.

The double dolphin made me laugh so hard 😅🤣

The chicken in the salad were not chicken McNuggets, because if you look closely they had no breading around them

"Mecces" is an abbreviation for McDonalds, so you pronounce it Mac' S ...

Here in Munich we have the first and oldest McDonalds in Germany, opened in 1971.

Bürger = citizen in German but we also use the Englisch Word Burger for the burger xD

Though MCDonald Salad is oddly succesfull in Germany many people say "Going to McDonalds for Salad is like going to a whore for hugs"(of course we say it in german)

LOL yes we love sausages, thats the reason Maccas will not try to sell such a burrito here, they know their tasty competion on the free market.

Oh Ryan, if you are ever going to travel to Germany please have breakfast in a small Café or bakery. I would never ever eat breakfast at McDonald's.

Yeah the "SnackWrap TS" (TS stands for Tomate (tomato) and Salat (lettuce)) was also available in Germany for only like half a year and then it was discontinued. I was really sad because like you said, these things were like 1,49€ and they tasted great after a night full of drinks 😅

Hello - in Germany there are much better playgrounds available than McD ever offered. And they are about everywhere - parents usually walk there from home in several minutes😉

we also get dots from our blinds( "Rollladen") in Germany also they're horizontal.

Our Mc Donalds also have playgrounds for children. Just that they don't have extra facilitys just for that. They are usually incorporated or attached to the restaurants.

we had playgrounds, birthday rooms and game console corners at mc donalds but it all disappeared

On the Salad thing: When you wanna eat healthy, why going to McDonalds in the first place?! XD

last time i was in a fast food restaurant is many years ago. for a cheaper price, just go to a butcher or bakery and buy some roll with ham and cheese and stuff. way healthier and better quality, and keeps the hunger down for a way longer time too.

No matter what it is, I like the food better at Burger King. What is harsh are the prices charged by McDonald, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut etc. in Germany. A single whooper €5.20 Burger King / a single Big Mac €5.10 McDonald /a single Zinger Burger €5.99 KFC / a single Cheesburger 12,89 € Five Guys

He called it a double "Drive In", but that's a misconception about "drive ins" in general, most Germans don't know that it is actually called "Drive Thru" in the USA. The term used by McDonald's Germany is "Mc Drive".

"How does that make sense?" People want a variety of decent food, and if restaurants don´t offer that, they go out of busines. Personally, I am okay with just having hamburgers and cheesburgers to satisfy my accute junkfood deficiency, which comes up once every few years, but that isn´t sufficient to regularly attract customers, as long as there are many great alternatives around everywhere.

In my region of Germany you will find a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant beside every MC Donalds. The MC Donalds opens and soon there will be a Kentucky by its side. It looks like a war between them (Please tell me if I am wrong). I think the Chicken wrap is a result of that. They make it to fight KFC. That is my idea. Not sure...just thinking.🤔

McDonalds always adapts to the local culture. I personally don't like it much in Germany, but I was on vacation in Italy once and wow the McDonald's food there was just amazing. Tasted a lot more like real food compared to what they have in the German ones.

We don’t Need a lavish breakfast at Mc Donalds, because we love out bread so much. Like those videos of yours. Greeting from Thüringen / Germany

Well we definitely don't have sth like that McD entertaintment center. if you are in a city most often the restaurant is rather small, sometimes there are even only 3-5 two person tables, but if you go to a McD or Burgerking somewhere on the outskirts then it's often a big restaurant and most of them have at least a little playground for kids. We used to have McDonalds birthday parties as well but I didn't see anymore that since the end of the 90's

It translated it based on his accent, "Bürger" is Citizen, but he means "Burger". He pronounces it the same.

They don’t use the nuggets for the salad. It’s the chicken patty of the McChicken classic.

We also did go to McDonald's for a birthday party. I remember going bowling and after that going to McDonald's and get the happy meal and it was good times for sure

Me at McD-Germany: "Fries with mayonaise, please! ... oh, and a large beer!" :)

Europe has much stricter rules for the food manufacturing industry and the selling if it.. A lot of laws and a lot of things that are forbidden.. That's why companies in America can get away with selling garbage to the customers 🙄

People: "AI will change everything like never seen before!" AI: oh, I'm sure "drive" must mean "dolphin", "cola" should be translated to "coal" and "burger" to "citizen"!

They don't mix McFlurrys up anymore, since they changed the plastic container for a paper one. That's the sad part.

The word which the captions translated as "citizen" was the word Burger. Obviously in this context it's referring to the food, but it sounds incredibly similar to the German word "Bürger" (citizen)

We want and need more reactions on german food & I would love to see a video from you about my Hometown Kassel in the middle of Germany 🖖🏼🇩🇪❤️ best wishes, Felix ✌🏼

McRib all year baby !!!! BRD BRD BRD 😂

You need to know, for the longest time in germany aracades were age restricted and you needed to be an adult to go there. That's why there is no arcade style kids segement at McD. But we do have playgrounds at McD depending on the location.

We used to have a playground here in the McDonald's Krefeld with a slide, a carousel and a seesaw. I also celebrated a birthday there as a child in the early 90s because I was invited young and was there all day. The whole thing was eventually phased out and I haven't seen it at any other McDonald's. The MC Flurry was previously also with the plastic spoon and the mixer. But they recently switched everything to cardboard wood and ceramic.

We ALSO have the ONLY McBoat "drive through" for actual BOATS (so far... it's in Hamburg)

8:46 We have Bakeries whith real Bread ans and cakes Coffee. No one goes to MD for Breakfast.

Hallo and hello! Greetings from Germany

The Light 😖Na, the same blinds jou get here, called jalousie. The kind that completle shut the window are "Rolladen" These are rolling shutters wich are normaly permanetly installed in the wall above the window, not everyone has them here (including me, and i wish my apartment had them) But there are kinds for retro fitting.

In the Caesar Salad does not contain McNuggets. I would assume it is a cut up McCrispy patty. Not that it matters much, but it is at least a bit better than straight McNuggets. And that info about the play grounds is wrong. Our local McD has a large outdoor play ground, and (aside from those in inner cities) most of the rural ones I´ve seen have them too.

The playgrounds at McDonalds & Co. were comparatively little used in Germany. The McDonald's in the town where I live has a large, fenced-in playground for dogs. Since the video is a bit older, what is still missing is that we have had the so-called Mc Delivery for some time now. I order my food online and an employee delivers it to my door like a pizza. However, I don't know anyone who has done it yet

There are McDonald's playgrounds in Germany but they are basically garbage compared to normal Playgrounds. I still remember the spiral slide that would basically give you electoshocks every time you rode it. On newer public playgrounds they use less plastic and more wood and steel which is way better in my opinion. For example a slide made from stainless steel wont give you those electroshocks.

Not they dont use the Nuggets for the salad , they use the same Chicken same as in the Wrap

5:02 if you want to be healthy, you don't eat at McD to begin with, period. That salad isn't really healthy, either. Ok, it may be without the seasoning. But the moment you put the saesoning on, the salad will have more calories than a Big Mac.

McDonalds is not really considered to be a "restaurant" in Europe/UK. Some outlets may have a few tables but that is basically to accommodate people waiting for their orders to be filled. It is considered to be more of a "take out" place, like KFC. A restaurant in Europe/UK is normally more for seated dining, with servers taking orders and bringing food to you at table. At McDonalds and KFC the "play area" for kids is not a focal point as kids are only there for a few minutes.

We in Germany get better food and service quality than Americans at McDonalds, because of the EU quality standards that have to be met by every restaurant.

haha the translator made be bursting out in tears with the "citizen" instead of "burger"............ well like the comments already mentioned, the German word for citizen is "Bürger" which sounds very alike. But getting told which citizens this KZfaqr likes or not really made my day!

We used to have those slides and jungle gyms too but they aren't too common anymore. There's usually only a small playground as they need the extra space for mc café. Also, kids here also celebrate their bday at McDonald's but not like it is in the US where that is the party. It's more a convenient stop for food on the way back from whatever activity you had with the kids. My kids had a day in the zoo or a day at the swimming pool or so and once that was over, we got everyone a kiddy box for dinner. But usually there's one or two kids who doesn't like fries and burgers, so making food at home is the safer option.

"Bürger" is the German word for citizen, so "burger" is translated as citizen here 😁

we used to have birthdays at mcdonalds too way back in the 90s , but it stopped, people dont drag their kids to fastfood chains anymore, the restaurants even removed the kids area within their restaurants. nobody misses it.

The reason why you have playgrounds at McD in the USA is because many people live in areas where there are no playgrounds. So parents bring their children in so they can play, also, they sell things, good business. I once watched a program on KZfaq where they talked about how McD's was strategically positioned best and the play area was better, in the more busy areas.

0:39 Almost nailed it on your first try. I'd spell it Mäcces though which is colloquial for "The Golden Gull Restaurant" aka McDonalds. Just say Mc or Mac with -es appended to it. 1:02 That's actually unusual. Or new. Haven't been to one in years... 1:41 You just exactly described the McFlurry container that I know from Germany as well... that's gotta be a new one then. 3:44 I know those, but IIRC they've only been available occasionally. 4:06 Even those aren't that bad here... they still have a few distinct shapes that are always the same, so it's clearly put together from smaller pieces, but the quality is still rather decent. 5:36 Sounds extreme. 6:33 I'm pretty sure one in my area does have a climbing tower with a slide outside and I remember that the playground initially was larger until they added McCafé to the whole thing, which also has a few seats outside, so they had to shrink the playground. 7:31 He says Cola, which to be fair, typically is Coke at McD. 7:44 Approx. one and a half coke cans. EU cans are 330ml, US ones are 12 fl oz which is 355ml. 8:03 I'm pretty sure I've seen this in Germany already as well, but I think those weren't available for too long, cos noone bought those XD 8:16 I still don't get why those are called McMuffin. Not muffins at all. 8:33 If that were true, greedflation is real! :D 8:48 Pineapple-Mango smoothie 8:59 That's because burger almost sounds like Bürger. 11:26 They're called drive-in here :D 12:13 Have a bigtastic day! :D BTW Curly Fries and Gitterkartoffeln (grid potatoes) are a lot better than the classic french fries. Sometimes they also offer wedges. PS: I wonder why he didn't even mention the "Hüttengaudi" which is an recurring event that's always around late Octover / Növember where you can get the Big Rösti and some grilled cheese sticks and a few other things inspired by traditional cuisine from the Alps region IIRC. People are really keen on those.

German McDonalds does not have any vegan burger, because of the reasons you mentioned. The plant-based patty for the McPlant and the McPlant Nuggets are made in the same devices as meat-products. Also, iirc, the sauce on the McPlant is not vegan. But at least the burger is a nice alternative if you sometimes don't want to eat meat and it tastes surprisingly good. (the McPlant nuggets however taste like the cardboard box they come in) A big difference he failed to talk about are the sauces. I was shocked that you don't have the Curry Sauce in the US. Neither at McDonald's not at KFC. 😄

McDonald's offers different meals in different European countries. When I come to Germany as an Austrian, I always try out things that aren't available here. In Austria we do have McD playgrounds, but they are very rarely indoor.

Citizens = Bürger. But the German guy means Burger not Bürger.

preparing vegan burgers in McDonalds or BurgerKing, they have different pairs of tongs for meat and vegan patties. Easily to tell apart because the handles have different colors. Red for meat, green for veggie patties. *thats what i was told by a friend working there ...

A huge cultural difference between Germany and the USA is breakfast. It is unimaginable to eat warm food for breakfast in Germany. Scrambled Eggs with Ham, Worst or Pancakes are lunch dishes in Germany. It's like serving an American a T-bone Steak for Breakfast. Normal Breakfast in Germany is Bread or Bread Roll or Croissants or Franzbrötchen (Regional Specialty), in addition Basic Margerine or Butter and ....Marmelade, Ham, Cheese and more but Cold. Okay Toast Roasted and a cooked Egg. Coffee, mineral Water, Orange or Fruit Juice. The day Starts Small and Increases.

The captions are the best on the clip. We need more youtubers with accents and bad pronounciation (the more texas style the higher the fun with captions).

Just a little Correction there: They don't use the Chicken Nuggets in the Salad. They use breaded chickenmeat. A litte bit different. First and foremost: Nuggets are mostly getting "thrown" into an hot Oil bath so they look nice and smell good when they get delivered to us.... i somehow have a picture of a chicken hanging out one Wing while Enjoying the Oil Bath... ANYWAYS 😀 The breaded Chickenmeat is something similar to a Chicken Sandwich meat. It is also not hot but cold, Chicken Wings aren't eatable when cold 😀 And they get fried in a pan with a litte bit of oil. 🙂 And it is HELLA delicious. If you are ever somewhere in Germany and you are lusting for a McDonalds: try it. It is delicious. 🙂

Whenever the guy says " burger", the translator understands German "Bürger", which means citizen.

Mc Flurry was also made in Germany with a spoon and lid. Since the German sustainability offensive, everything has been made more ecological so as not to use too much plastic.

it translates burger as citizen, because we also say Bürger for citizen. but the difference for burger and a Bürger is clearly audible to us when we use it

The McFlurry was the same here, but due to plastic reduction laws in Europe, they had to change the product into a bigger McSundae with fancy topping. Worked myself at McDonald's here in Germany 10 years ago. We also had the Snack Wrap, which was the smaller version of the McWraps. The Snack Wrap had the US-McChicken-Patty (German McChicken is different burger), while the McWrap has the larger McCrispy-Patty. When I started the McWrap actually had 3 Options. The one with the McCrispy-Patty, one with unbreaded chicken filet and one with a beef-patty that is also used on the quarter-pounder. They got rid of the unbreaded chicken filet, because instead of the breaded Chicken, that gets put into the fryer frozen, the unbreaded chicken needed to be unfrozen before grilled like the beef-pattys. You always had the problem, that you had to trash to much unfrozen meat or you ran out of unfrozen meat. They also tried to make it work with frozen, unbreaded chicken, but it had issues with quality and since it was never a really much asked product, they scrapped it. The original Caesars Salad had also the unbreaded chicken, they changed it to the McChicken-patty. But there isn't really a vegan product on the menu besides french fries. Those plant-based products just don't contain meat, but can get in contact with meat. Thats why they don't claim them as vegan or vegetarian products. And on these entertainment-centers: McDonalds in Germany actually prefers take-away customers and doesn't want in-house customers to stay long. First: Tax on take-away is lower (7% instead of 19%). Second: A take-away customer makes significantly less garbage McDonalds has to deal with, so the more customers decide to take away, the smaller the need of someone cleaning the lobby, so they can cut crew cost.

In Germany the McFlurry isn't mixed up anymore since plastic spoons are forbidden -.-

6:40 I don't live in germany but in Switzerland and McDonald's always had a play area for kids when I was a kid but they somehow all disappeared a few years ago.

As a German I have never seen those McFlurry containers, only the ones you described.

We have the word Burger as shortcut for "Hamburger" and we have Bürger (with Ü) which actually is citizen.

UK has the wraps and they’re really nice. I too miss the snack wrap, I loved those. But we get ‘wrap of the day’ offers and they change every day - only £1.99. U can either have the crispy chicken or plain chicken. We also have the chicken tenders but they’re called ‘chicken selects’ and they are proper chicken mini fillets in lush crispy coating. Love the breakfast roll. Theyve just brought a breakfast wrap out that looks lush and may have to be tried…

Don't forget that, at a German McDonald's, you have to purchase and pay for every drink and every sauce/ ketchup/mayonnaise separately as there are no free refills and we care about how much plastic waste we create. That's also the reason why McFlurry and McSundae (Idk if the small ice cream cone is even a thing in the US) come in those cardboard mugs. AFAIK they blend the ice cream before, put it in the mugs and then put sauces and toppings on. Also, there's that big cliché that they'd sell beer at McDonald's in Germany, which they don't and never did. Neither beer nor any other alcoholic drinks.

We absolutely also have McDonalds play centers where our kids have their birthday parties! 🙂

My major problem with McDonalds is the oil they use to cook or fry their stuff as it tends to be unhealthy and my body simply can't take it anymore. Guess I am too old for that stuff!

Hi, I´m Oliver from Germany. I realy love to see someone to look after the differences about your countries and meanings. I enjoyed so much the circumstances and curious things that you see in Germany because you don´t have this in the US. I realy like the driving licence lession or the what we call "Nachtschleife" Night loop. But this isn´t realy for Kids doesn´t sleeping. Kids are not able to understand the meaning and the jokes that are made in this "Short Story". We don't normally sit an around 8 year olds in front of the TV watching Star Wars or Harry Potter. Therefore only adults can make sense of it. Maybee it´s just accompanying sleeping. We do have Chicken Mc Nuggets, but they are of corse no Salat. We have different kinds of Salat here in Germany at MC. Maybee it´s sells better. And of corse we do have birthday partys and also playgrounds surounding in MC. Slides and climbing walls are actually always available. But i don´t know if every MC has this possibility.

McDonalds Germany Headquarter in Munich is the only part of McDonalds with his own Test-Kitchen There will new stuff created like "los Wochos" when you get mexican style burgers and other stuff. They create and export them to other countrys and there they will be adapted. Just like normal beef burgers in India are only with chicken or pork.

I remember when I was younger, the McDonalds in our city did have a kids' section with a Ballpit and a seperate, secluded eating area but they trashed that concept when they renovated to the new McCafé/mature style

They had "Los Wochos" and "Asia Wochen" as seasonal event back in the days. The best burgers McD made were available then.

….and we can get beer in McD in Bavaria…..😂

I'm actually not a big fan of McDonalds, but the best burger I've ever eaten at McDonalds was in Rome, Italy. It was a chicken burger with rocket, Parmesan and a balsamic sauce in a kind of flatbread. The chicken was not breaded, but had grill stripes and the combination was simply delicious. I barely ever visit McDonalds in Germany but whenever I travel around in Europe, I visit McDonalds since I always like to see what kind of different menus they offer in other countries and quite often I'm positively surprised.

we used to have the same container for the mc Flurry but due to banning one time use plastic spoons etc they cant use those anymore

For the McFlurry we had those cups with the lid as well. They use a different stirring machine now (or if they don't feel like it they Don't stir at all.) The container in the video is the newer packaging, based on a general trend to reduce packaging and use easier to recycle materials, supported by European regulations that prohibit use of unnecessary plastic packaging. No plastic straws as well. That cup also has no longer the same plastic foil lining as the old one. Oh and the signature burger is not as big as it looks. Although, Yeah, you easily get into the 1200 calories region with those. Fun fact about the McRib, at some point they tried to change the recipe and reduce the amount of barbecue sauce to make it less messy... Didn't go well with people so they returned to the old recipe. Oh, and we don't have the vending machines that pour you your favorite soft drink (coke fanta sprite) in all sorts of cringe worthy flavors. Just the straight regular stuff and coke as well in the light and zero variety.

Regarding McFlurry - it used to be the same way as in the US but as by now, saving plastic is a big thing, we don't have these lid and spoons anymore and the ingredients are pretty much just on top, it's not a real McFlurry anymore although they kept the name. It's a pity that they couldn't find a way to mix it without using that much plastic.

Also a german cheeseburge in MCdonalds only has like 30 chemicals in them instead of about twice that amount in the us. In germany you also have this MCDonalds birthdays. I mean thats part of how they get the children addicted. Get them as a child and you have a customer for life although it might be a shorter lifespan than usual. Btw the word that is translated to citizen is Burger. The AI thinks the word is Bürger which you can translate to citizen. Sidenote "bürgen" where Bürger comes from means "to vouch".

Some MC's here in Germany no longer serve breakfast at all, as there is a better breakfast in every bakery, in hotels and at most petrol stations. 😏

well, since plastic is basically banned in restaurants, there is no mixed mcflurry anymore. the papercup is open and you are getting a wodden spoon to mix it yourself. the signature burgers don't exist anymore. they were stopped a few years ago, because no one wanted them. they were to expensive

2:00 the swirling-spoon was in germany too, but now no more.. to much waste..the straw is out paper too^^

I regularly order my favourite citizens while going through the dolphin. I remember when they stopped giving you the soda you've ordered and instead you just get a cup you have to fill yourself (when you're walking into the restaurant, the dolphin doesn't work that way obviously). Somehow, I can't get myself to order a cup, I always order the beverage even though I know that I'll just get a cup.

We also had the playgrounds at McDonalds in Germany back in the 00's (and the birthday parties of course) but I guess somewhere along the way it was deemed questionable to market unhealthy fast food directly to children :D

Germany has (at least) one McDonald’s with a drive thru/ dock for boats. It’s in Hamburg I think

I would consider McDonalds to be one of my favorite foods in terms of taste, BUT McDonalds processes the food it offers so much that not even microorganisms want this food because it contains NO nutrients!!! I personally saw a McDonald's pickle slice stuck to the wall at a bus stop 20 years ago, and it's still stuck there TODAY! Nobody removed them and no microorganisms wanted to eat them...

The german MCDonalds used to have playgrounds and ballpits and that stuff in their resturants but a couple of years ago (maybe 10-13) McDonalds changed their Resturants in germany and made them more "adult". Also it was made because of the controversy if McDonalds should fishing children for extremly unhealthy food. Nowerdays all returants look more like proper resturants.
