      Never even heard of the McLobster before. I do remember the little McPizzas though.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        The “McDLT” was awesome! I loved that! But whoever came up with naming something a “McAfrica” needs to be publicly shamed. Who names a food product after a continent?!

          I seem to remember the McRib w/mice surprise sandwich didn't go over too well either. But who can really predict the publics tastes, eh?

            The McDLT was the bomb when I was a kid ......guess it was the packaging. The big and tasty wasn't to bad either. Suprised the Mc Taco has came up that was the secret top secret one that hasn't been released yet!

              McLobster is awful... Tough and dry.

              Mcpizza was way too gooey in consistency.

              I've had the mcgratin croquette, and it's not bad... But I guess it's hard to compete with Mos Burger which seems to cater better to the homegrown Japanese palette.

                MOS Burger is the best. I LOVE their fried shrimp burgers. I really, really wish there was something similar offered at fast food joints in North America.

                I enjoyed McDonald's little personal pizzas. They were test marketed in our area and I thought it was so cool that you could order a value meal that included a pizza and french fries. You didn't see that combination very often. The first time I saw spaghetti offered at a McDonald's was in the Philippines. I didn't try it, but that was a real culture shock moment to see it on the menu over there. "What? Spaghetti at McDonald's???"

                  I used to love the McDLT when i was a kid. I had forgotten all about it. I would go to McDonalds if they would bring that back.

                    Yeah I too LOVED the McDLT. It was my favorite burger in the late 80's. Not a bad fix after a few too many drinks either. Boy do I miss those.

                        Aside from the very occasional breakfast sandwich, I'm not much interested in their food, Yuck.

                          With how ridiculously successful pan-Asian restaurants are in Toronto right now, I keep expecting a franchise to drop down any day now... Maybe out in Markham? They seem to have become popular in Hong Kong in recent years as well.

                          What I'm really craving is that chain of sweet curry stands in Tokyo. I can't remember the name, but I'd be wandering around the red light district of Shinjiku looking for it late at night because the one on the other, more respectable side of the train station would close so early.

                            I think that was called the Big King. And it was rather good. I liked it much better than the Whopper.

                            The name was pretty blatant though. Of course, a Big Mac is just a rip off of Big Boy anyway!

                            Those McPizzas were test-marketed in our area too.

                            I went to Pittsburgh about 10 years ago and they had the McRib on the permanent menu, and Big Mac Jrs!

                              I had the McGratin thing when I was in Japan some years ago. It was called Gurakura or something like that-- From what I remember, it was pretty good. Kind of a ball of mac n cheese with potato and some kind of fish I think-- Not sure.

                              Gotta honestly say though-- I haven't had, nor even ever heard of most of the stuff on that list. Spaghetti??? Really??? LOL The only two (other than the thing I had in Japan) that I ever remember seeing, were the big n tasty and that McDLT thing.

                              I do love me some Mac Dees though-- every now and then, it's good for the soul.
