McDonald’s has made big moves this summer. From a brand new value meal to major drive thru changes, the fast food chain has been the talk of the town. Even recently, the Golden Arches hit headlines again by bringing an international fan-favorite dipping sauce to the U.S. for the first time. But of course the one thing that never fails to hit the news are its famous McFlurries.

You may think you know McDonald's, but there could be some underrated items on this fast food giant's menu that you should consider checking out soon.

McDonald's Most Underrated Menu Items You Need To Try

A Sprite from McDonald's is beyond refreshing — it's electric. You've probably seen the memes about the clear, bubbly lemon-lime soda. A glowing figure sits at a restaurant booth, and a caption reads: "This how you be feeling after you take one sip of McDonald's Sprite." Another meme jokes that the drink is so powerful "because they milk it straight from the creature." Below the caption is a creepy-looking beast being milked by none other than Ronald McDonald himself. Now, of course there is no Sprite creature (thankfully), but the point of these memes still carries: McDonald's Sprite is powerful stuff. And recently, the internet has come together to muse over the strength of one of the fast food chain's many soda offerings, and the possible reasons behind its "spicy" flavor.
