03) Georgie Pies (New Zealand)

McDonald’s bought out the New Zealand fast-food chain Georgie Pie in 1996. The move instantly gave them locations across New Zealand and all George Pie restaurants were rebranded as McDonald’s and their menus switched. But after decades of requests from the public and a popular Facebook Fan Page, McDonald’s New Zealand reintroduced some of Georgie Pie’s menu items in 2013. Pie fillings include minced steak, vegetable, chicken and fruits like apple pie and blackberry.

04) Teriyaki Maku Baagaa (Japan)

The Maku Baagaa, or Teriyaki McBurger, is a beef burger marinated in teriyaki sauce on the McDonald’s Japanese menu. You can also add an egg to it. That’s called a Teritama (Teriyaki Egg Burger).
