McDonald's Is Adding Four New Secret Menu Items to Its Actual MenuThe fast-food chain is making four customers' creations and bringing them to life starting January 31.

Fast-food fans have been making their own versions of menu items for as long as chains have been around, with the rise of social media catapulting "secret menu items' and hacks into the mainstream and opening customers' eyes to new combinations and variations on their favorite foods.

One of the chains where this is most prominent isMcDonald's, where cult-like followings around certain menu items have created a loyal fan base that experiments with mixing and matching different items to create their own unique spin on things.

And now it looks like the fast-food chain itself has taken note, as McDonald's announced that it would be releasing a limited-edition run of "Menu Hacks", new items inspired by customers' creations.

“我们的足总ns are always coming up with different ways to make a McDonald's meal uniquely their own," McDonald's said ina statement. "That's why, for the first time ever, we're spotlighting their creativity by officially debuting four fan-favorite creations on menus across the country for a limited time."

The new items, which roll out on January 31, were chosen from four social media users who created the hacks themselves.

The four new food being featured are The Hash Brown McMuffin® (A sausage McMuffin with egg and a hash brown stacked in the middle), The Crunchy Double (Chicken McNuggets topped with a Double Cheeseburger with Tangy Barbeque Sauce drizzled inside), The Land, Air & Sea (A McChicken stacked on a Big Mac, stacked on a Filet-O-Fish) and The Surf + Turf (A Filet-O-Fish stacked on a Double Cheeseburger.)
