YOU MAY HAVE seen the ads heralding the arrival of McDonald’s latest culinary creation, the McCruncher.

The burger is the latest addition to the fast food restaurant’s menu and, as the name suggests, it’s a crunchy affair.

So, what is it?

Well, it’s basically a cheeseburger with crunchy onion fries and barbecue sauce. It appears to have been tested in various US markets back in 2012, but doesn’t seem to be on the menu anymore, much to the chagrin of some customers:
