Whaddya Think Massachusetts' Favorite McDonalds Food Item Is?

How many of you fine Massachusetts folks reading these words right now are secret McDonald's junkies? Seriously. Almost nobody I know admits to eating fast food, but there's a reason McDonald's is the largest and most popular fast-food chain.

Plenty of people LOVE McDonald's. And you know what? I'm one of those people. Now, I freely admit that as I get older, I do try to limit the number of visits I make there every week, but I still love Mickey D's.

As a matter of fact, one of my favorite food items OF ALL TIME was a McDonald's menu item. I say "was" because McDonald's discontinued it over 30 years ago. I'm talking about the McDLT. Oh, how I miss you, McDLT....But I digress...

The reason I'm bringing all of this up? The team at BetMassachusetts.com took it upon themselves to find out the 5 most popular McDonald's menu items in the Commonwealth.

BetMassachusetts.com looked at the most popular "McDonald's" search results over a 12-month-span to come up with the results. I think the big surprise for me was that the McDLT was nowhere to be found LOL.

THE 5 MOST POPULAR MCDONALD'S MENU ITEMS IN MASSACHUSETTS:

#5. HAPPY MEAL
The 5th most popular McDonald's menu item for Massachusetts residents originally debuted back in 1979, believe it or not. I thought the Happy Meal came out sometime in the mid-1980s. Anyway, I certainly had my share of them when I was younger.

#4. BIG MAC
How many of you remember the song that defined the Big Mac? "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." As a kid, I was always amazed that my Dad could hold a Big Mac in one hand. I'll never forget the day that I was able to do it. Dad was so proud of me.

#3. CHICKEN MCNUGGETS
Do you wanna feel old? Chicken McNuggets is coming up on its 45th ANNIVERSARY! It's true. McNuggets were available in select markets in 1981, but became available worldwide in 1983--43 years ago!!

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time.
