Someone should have told me I could do this before now

I recently visited McDonald's with my clearly more knowledgeable kids and watched them order burgers stripped down of everything bar the burger, bun and ketchup. But then I noticed there was a plus sign to add on as well as a minus to remove.

This was even where there were already onions and pickles on the burger so it means you can have EXTRA onions and pickles to the ones already included.

Why did I not know this? My mate who was with us did not know either which makes me feel a bit better but how long have I been missing this trick???

Am I being unreasonable to think my kids should really know they need to tell me these things

Onions and pickles are the best bits - I'm gutted that I missed out for so long. It's not the same these days as I used to be able to steal the unwanted pickles from the kids but now find they remove them so I don't get the chance 😂

Yabu I couldn't possibly manage extra items, I'm already full after merely inhaling the aroma from outside.

So much pickle shaming! I love them!

You can add bacon to the hamburgers as well. My son loves that

I k is this but I it because I order on the app.

I add extra cheese and sandwich sauce, remove the pickles though!

I didn’t know you can add either. How irresponsible of the youth of today not to tell you!
