hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
watching welcome to this newest review the newest edition of the running on empty food review series
i'm your host the report of the week thanks for tuning in all right i i rushed to get this it's
about probably 15 minutes after uh this was even released and i was able to get this mcdonald's is
continuing their series of celebrity uh themed and endorsed meals with the bts meal now again this is
the third in the you know celebrity uh lineup of meals the first was back in i think september of
2020 with the travis scott meal the second was a little later with the j balvin meal and now
the third and this is really making waves a lot of people are already real hyped up about it they're
talking about it they want to know what's in it and if it tastes good the bts meal now this is
not going to be you know an opinion piece talking about bts in terms of their music or any of that
here at this channel i review the food and i will let you know what it tastes like and if i feel
it's quality and decent and that's what you know the point of this video is going to be
we've got the bts meal gonna see what it is and uh how good it is so what is the bts meal what
does it come with who are bts we'll get to all of that right now so let's run through the effects
the bts meal is available at the price of eight dollars and fifty cents it is a meal deal it comes
with a ten piece chicken mcnugget a medium french fries a medium coca-cola and the big selling point
is that it comes with two new dipping sauces the first dipping sauce is a sweet chili sauce
it's supposed to be sweet and sour with a touch of heat the second sauce is a cajun sauce
being described as hot mustard with chili and peppers so again it comes with these
two new sauces these two exclusive sauces at the price of eight dollars and fifty cents now bts
is a world famous south korean boy band uh you know they have so many hits i mean we can't even
we can't even go there um but for those of you in the united states you might know the song
dynamite that was really popular in the last couple years that was done by bts and new song
they just released is called butter which if you haven't heard it already i'm sure you will soon
so that's the gist of the meal again i just got it it came in this bag so some people were
wondering well is there going to be any bts themed um packaging at least in my instance
there wasn't i can't say how it might be in your case but it came in this big bag i did
open it already just to make sure that i got everything that i was supposed to and now let's
inside the big bag is a smaller bag
and we've got the drink
that's the coke and now inside the smaller bag is the meal itself
we've got the nuggets it looks like one of the famous sauces actually tried to
jump inside for the ride right there uh what do we have we got the sweet chili
we got the cajun sauce we got those fries everyone's talking about
very good all right we have exactly what we're supposed to let's crack open the uh the drink
i'll take a quick sip because i am rather parched i rushed to get everything set up
didn't even have time to grab some water which i usually guzzle down and um
you know the chicken nuggets of course your basic chicken nuggets from mcdonald's you know they look
as we would expect and here are what the sauces look like all right so this is the sweet chili
right so that's what it looks like there and then we have the cajun sauce all right so this is what
they look like side by side again these sauces are the big selling point that's the new thing
uh one thing again i think in some countries i'm especially thinking of when this was released
earlier in malaysia there was bts branding on the nuggets there is not in this instance but
again that may vary by location what i always do is i try to get a thumbnail shot because i
don't really and i know it could be a little iffy at times but we'll do something like this
and i'll of course edit it and brighten it up or something i don't really like i'm holding that
this might be a little better or something get a thumbnail like that get one a little closer
and uh something like this too showing it the reason why i do this so i always like
doing the videos in one take whenever i can and with that this is really going to be a
sauce review because i mean we know what fries taste like we know how the nuggets taste like
so let's just try it out i'm going to try out first the dipping sauce with the sweet chili
then we'll move over to the cajun and then we'll uh give it a wrap up you can really
definitely smell it already so let's try it out the bts meal from mcdonald's going in
the mcnuggets are good by the way crispy but still tender on the inside and just as they
always are so that's number one all right so what do i think of the sweet chili sauce
it is spicy the sweetness is the first thing that you taste and as it first hits the tongue
you're going to notice the sweetness now it's not overwhelmingly sweet you know like candy or
anything but definitely the sweetness they say sweet and sour but it's mostly the sweetness
and then you notice the spice and i would say most recognizably of course it's the spice you
know for chili pepper but most recognizably in this case it leaves a spicy aftertaste
and it is a spice even now as i'm still continuing you know probably a minute after i i had this i'm
still feeling it now it's not hot to the point where i'm desperately you know guzzling down
the uh coca-cola but it's definitely i think for those of you who might be a little more sensitive
to heat definitely have this beverage nearby because it's definitely it's going to be your
friend i will say that so i like it though a lot of these hot sauces they say that they're
going to be spicy they say it's going to pack a punch and what does it do it never does so this
was nice to see now the cajun sauce again they say it's hot mustard with chili and peppers and
well we'll just roll with it trying to open this and you can see what happened this kind of tour
like that so i'm trying to open it from the other end now well it's my sauce i don't really care how
messy it is i'm not particular that way this is what it looks like we'll try it out here
cleanse my palate you know with the approved drink now i'll try it
so
a little bit of spice in this one too it's nowhere near as hot
as the uh sweet chili that one is definitely much spicier a little bit of spice here like i said a
little bit of tang to it as well though um it's definitely like a more basic mustard in terms
of its overall prevailing flavors a little bit of spice a little bit of tanginess to it also though
which definitely both of these sauces blend very very nicely together with the nuggets although
if i had to have a favorite of these two i would definitely go with the sweet chili i
just like the way it tastes a little better and i do like my spice and it certainly is spicy so
my favorite of those would be the sweet chili in my opinion though if you order this meal
make sure you get both sauces they're both good they're both decent
getting a good amount of food too for uh you know eight and a half dollars drink fries
which are fine
for time consolidation i'll say that it's probably going to be exactly the same way with the fries as
it is the nuggets um but overall just a nice meal and some decent sauces again i have to compliment
them in saying that regardless of your thoughts on bts i do like the fact that they have new sauces
finally these meals these celebrity meals a lot of the time it was just repurposing items that have
already been there and it's like adding lettuce to a burger that's already been on the menu forever
but the fact that they're actually adding new sauces that have never been on the menu here is
very nice to see i like it i support that edition and again i could definitely see myself especially
getting that sweet chili sauce uh going forward it works really nice with those nuggets i like it
so out of ten all things considered i'd have to give the bts meal from mcdonald's and 8.5
out of 10. pretty good for what it is try it out i especially again like that sweet chili sauce
and that's all that i have for you so i hope this review at least served as a little bit
of an assessment to take a look at the meal see what it's all about uh take a look at these sauces
what they look like what they maybe taste like and i hope it was just able to make
you a little better informed about the meal and its inner workings so with that
that's all that i have for you thanks for watching and until next time take care
