The McDonald’s menu initially featured just nine items, but its growth into a global fast-food powerhouse can be attributed to their relentless innovation. With Chicken McNuggets, Filet-O-Fish, and an entire breakfast menu that weren’t there at the start, these items have become some of the chain’s most beloved offerings.
Despite their success, McDonald’s has had its share of missteps. Not every new item has been a hit. Risk-taking in menu expansion led to some notable failures. Among these, there’s one burger that the company would prefer to erase from public memory.
While future endeavors will likely bring more hits than misses, it’s clear that innovation comes with its challenges. Yet, it’s this very adaptability and willingness to try new things that keep McDonald’s at the forefront of the fast-food industry.
