McDonald's Forgot To Put The Mozzarella In Their Mozzarella Sticks

The main ingredient in a mozzarella stick is, well, mozzarella.

But apparently not at McDonald's.

Cheese fans are up in arms after a number of people posted photos of their new McDonald's mozzarella sticks looking hopelessly hollow:

1. My wife bought some a few weeks ago

and she said they were terrible. Not what she was expecting at all. Total waste of money.
I had a time when I got a grilled chicken sandwich at McDonalds. I got about 3 blocks when I turned around, because I found there was no chicken. It was just bun, tomato, and mayo. I showed the manager, and he turned to look at a guy and said "Mike, you did it again." It was more funny than anything.

2. I get mine from Arby's

or a regular dinner joint.

[Renew Deal]

5. Diner is OK, but are there any Italian restaurants near you?

Get some mozzarella sticks, some fried calamari, and some garlic knots.

[shenmue]

6. Yes

[underpants]

3. Boss! I've got a way to reduce our food costs!

Okay

Fried AIR!!

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Also low calorie!

[nyabingi]

Or make sure that when the buzzer or whatever goes off they get taken right out of the fryer oil.

Literally 10 seconds to long and the cheese starts coming out.

Eta: just tried them, quite good, surprised they were so garlicky. The marinara is very good.

[getagrip_already]

9. hey, they are offering a healthier option.....

isn't that what people have been asking for?

Cheese is terribly unhealthy ......... (sarcasm)

[turbo_satan]

10. Even if they DID remember to put mozzarella in the mozzarella sticks....

... there still wouldn't be any mozzarella in the "mozzarella" sticks.

[Mosby]

11. do you think they are lying about the cheese?

It's not like mozz is expensive.

I just ate an order, it's mozz.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

23. I don't think they are lying about what should be in them.

I think they serve shitty food because they try to cut costs any way they can as long as they can make the shit taste good. It doesn't necessarily mean it was an intentional deception, it could be that something messed up in the manufacturing or cooking process or it has something to do with the low quality of ingredients.

31. The real stuff is made from buffalo milk and is not cheap

It can be aged as well, but you hardly find that here. The porcheria people in America eat as italian food makes me want to cry. Pizza when done correctly is amazing. Simple food, fresh ingredients, prepared with good technique. THAT is italian cooking.

[Mosby]

32. interesting

I really like that fresh style mozz they use for caprese insalada.

Has brushetta changed in your opinion? When I was young it was put together in layers on thin sliced toast, and then put under the broiler for a couple minutes. Now all I ever see is the "Pico de gallo" style if you know what I mean.

[Drahthaardogs]

33. We are piemontese, so I do not have a tradition with bruschetta to speak of

although everyone mispronounces it. It is sketta, not shhetta...anyway

We eat a lot of polenta, butter, anchovies, rice, our red sauce is simply tomatoes, garlic, and a bit of red pepper. Our pasta is rich made with only egg yolks. Beef and rabbit is popular. Our sausage is not flavored with fennel or peperoncino, but other more refined spices.

I grew up on cured pork and I still make my own pancetta tessa and coppa as well as a proscoiutto now and then.

Talaggio cheese is my favorite. It is what brie aspires to be, but never can quite make. Amarone is my favorite wine. There is nothing quite like it anywhere else. Barolo is a close second, although Amarone is a symphony and Barolo is a heavy metal concert.

I love chestnuts and chestnut flour. Hazlenuts and almonds as well. Lemon and anise are classic italian flavors.

Those are the flavors of my youth and what I eat today as much as possible.

12. I am a total sucker for mozzarella sticks.

McDonalds could be worse.

[Inkfreak]

27. Yea, me too.

I can't help it..cheese (awesome)..fried (awesome)

Natures perfect food??

[JesterCS]

13. They are a huge waste

Of money. My mom tried them and said over half the weight is grease and fried batter, barely any cheese it any

[NurseJackie]

14. Oil was too hot... or they were fried too long... or they were not frozen when placed in the fryer.

The breading cooks up nice and crispy ... it holds its shape, and all the delicious cheese inside melts away and seeps into the fryer oil. Result: Hollow Fried Breading. Yum.

[jdadd]

18. Yep

I had a bad experience the first time I tried, frying these at home.....Little too long and, I ended up scooping fried cheese out of the oil...

[Dr. Xavier]

15. I am surprised that the Mozzarella would ooze out

doesn't Mozzarella take longer to melt?

[ohnoyoudidnt]

24. I'm think cooking oil is at near 400F for frying.

At that temperature, it shouldn't take too much overcooking to ruin the item. If a place is understaffed, I can see how the product isn't removed at the right moment.

[daleanime]

26. Trust me, they're always understaffed.....

if they accidentally have enough crew, they sent someone home early.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

29. Bingo.

That's why they completely fuck up every order.

I try (and succeed) so hard not to get aggravated with the staff. You just can't do three things at once and not fuck up. You just can't.

You can't take orders, make change, wash Windows and fill drinks all at the same time.

[TwilightGardener]

30. Yup. My son works there. They either are short-handed or

send people home. That said, he's been there for eight months, which is practically a longevity record at his restaurant. They're flexible with his school schedule and he likes cooking.

[azurnoir]

16. I remember way back when they had the same problem with their 'cherry' pies

[LiberalElite]

17. I think they don't know how to cook them -

I once purchased a cheapie Ziti with Cheese microwavable dinner. Of course the cheese as shown on the "serving suggestion" cover photo was shown as thick and stringy. When I heated it according to directions and then opened the box - no cheese. It had apparently vaporized (or something). The next time I managed to preserve what cheese actually was in the package by adjusting the instructions for my particular microwave oven.

[Dustlawyer]

19. I thought it was "Where's the beef?"

[PersonNumber503602]

20. I ordered some of them a few weeks ago and they were awful.

I was just planning on just getting a coffee, but when I saw them I figured I'd give them a try. Definitely will never be ordering them again. Complete waste of money and calorie budget.

[Odin2005]

21. MAMA MIA!!!

[yellowcanine]

22. Mozzarella Tubes? On the internets?

[wordpix]

25. Most of what passes as fast food is fried batter, anyway

Very cheap and if you salt it, it tastes great, whatever is battered (mozzarella, chicken, fish, etc).

Of course, it's terrible for nutrition and waistlines. And this kind of food over time causes cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Shhhhhh... fast food chains don't want you to know.

[MichMan]

28. What do you really expect from the 2 for $2 menu?

Honestly, they are on the 2 for $2 menu. Not the greatest, but met my expectations for a $1 fast food item.

[Anfibio]

34. Ripoff nt

35. Burger King has a better wine list
