hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
watching welcome one and all to this newest edition of the running on empty food review
series i'm your host the report of the week this is groundbreaking stuff right here and
we're just going to get right into it to tell you the truth the hype right here is unreal
and this might this might just be the biggest meal mcdonald's has ever released now i'm this
is what i'm seeing people i mean they you should have seen the line at mcdonald's
people are going crazy for this people are saying they actually did it they actually did it because
mcdonald's has teamed up with sweetie to release the sweetie meal
now sweetie for those of you who aren't familiar uh sweetie is a famous rapper and uh very
well-known figure the sweetie meal is the latest in the uh celebrity endorsed meals that mcdonald's
has been releasing now they've done this before right the last meal that mcdonald's really did
this with was the bts meal preceding that they had the j balvin meal and then after that but before
that i guess i'm see look this is already blowing my mind before that they had the travis scott meal
this is a celebrity endureist meal so when you think of sweetie you gotta think of mcdonald's
and this is what sweetie gets every single time when she goes to mcdonald's it's a big meal though
like i said and here's what it includes i mean this is like a full meal a big mac
four piece chicken nugget medium fries a medium sprite tangy barbecue dipping sauce
and then and this is where you want to talk about originality you want to talk about the things
that this is going to make your jaw drop so right now here's what i recommend you do take one hand
cup it right under here because get ready because you're going to need it
otherwise you're going to lose that jaw um it is going to fall off this is going to blow your
mind or you know make your jaw drop i guess i got to stick to the story here
it includes sweet and sour sauce but it's been renamed from sweet and sour sauce to sweetie in
sour sauce so there you have it again it's a fast food feast your big mac your nuggets your fries
your drink tangy barbecue sauce and your sweetie and sour sauce now uh the pronunciation it's spelt
s-a-w-e-e-t-i-e but you have to say you the a is silent so it's sweetie right so sweetie and sour
sauce which you know it's like a play on the words you know sweet and sour sweetie and sour sauce so
that's what we have there now price for this meal there's a lot of uncertainty going around
as to what the price for this meal is i'll just explain what happened in my case because
what i've seen other people saying online and you know what reviews i've already witnessed
um everyone is kind of getting this at a different price but in my case i received this meal for
the price of twelve dollars so take that for what what you will but that's merely what i got for it
i was thinking about how i want to review this and i'm going to look at this two separate ways
and one thing that i will say before we get into the review for any of you who might be
new and are just you know kind of checking out and seeing what this meal is all about
on this channel i merely review the meal for what it is does it taste good right how is it
compared to the price i just review it as a food item if i have anything negative to say
here this isn't an attack towards sweetie her character her music any of that this is merely
the food that's what i'm all about and that's what this video is about likewise so bear that
in mind you know just in case any of that okay i'm gonna be trying out each little item on its own
but i'm really just gonna say whether it's good or not because i've already reviewed the big
mac like four times i've reviewed the chicken nuggets many a time i've tried out the fries
many times i've tried out the sprite and the sauces i've already reviewed every single thing
that there is to try here so instead of trying to give a detailed analysis i'm just going to let you
know if it tastes like how it's supposed to taste here's what the meal looks like by the way and um
i'll hold up the drink in a in a minute what's interesting is that some of the branding is there
and some of it isn't for instance they're kind of teasing you with the sweet and sour
sauce because it's not the sautee i did it look i did it the a is silent sweetie and sour sauce
and um you know you have the tangy barbecue but that's the big mac there the nuggets are
hiding there these are the fries and the fries do come with the branding which is interesting
you'd think that the sweetie and sour sauce would and it's supposed to but you know how it is but
the fries actually do see the sweetie meal what does it say here share with your best friend or
don't so it's saying the choice is yours you know it's up to you what you want to do with this and
we have this is the sprite right here you can actually see it's it's dripping
dripping on this it is a warm afternoon all right i'm wasting time let's just dig in
so gonna go with the big mac first pretend that never happened i dropped a fry
and again i'm not gonna spend too much time reviewing this the big mac you know it comes with
the usual two all beef patties the special the special sauce american cheese
lettuce pickles onions and a sesame seed bun
so let's take a few bites out of the big mac here the sweetie meal for mcdonald's going in
that bird back there is all hyped up over the sweetie meal too
big mac is fine tastes good
juicy flavorful i always like that little tanginess to the
special sauce as well so big mac is on point and uh nothing really more to say about that
you could always consult my big mac review where i review that in great detail the nuggets
of course we got to go with the sweetie and sour sauce here
so that's what it's all about
standard mcnugget crispy
it's still juicy and flavorful dip it in the sauce
i gotta say the sweety and sour sauce is one of my favorite sauces from mcdonald's it's like my go-to
and let me tell you does it compliment those nuggets it certainly does we'll try out the fries
nicely salted
structurally speaking they hold their own they're not limp but they're not
too rigid either so that's a good intermediary area
sweet and sour sauce good accompaniment very good we will also take a sip of the sprite
yeah very citrusy
not not usually my go-to beverage but it is a refreshing accompaniment on a day like today
and we'll have to try out that tangy barbecue sauce as well
now we know i double dipped
solid has a nice you know nice little bite to it now that begs the question though with
the sweetie meal the components of this meal are all classic items right these are the mcdonald's
namesakes the big mac the chicken mcnuggets the fries the tipping sauces and the drink
and that leaves me with a little bit of a predicament though and allow me to explain this
this meal there's nothing to complain about in terms of quality right i can sit here and i can
say well tastes good i like the big mac i like the nuggets i like the fries the
sauces are nice the drink is nice and all that is good right value is what it is 12
bucks but you're still getting some food for the price admittedly so from a quality standpoint
fine by me and if you're a fan of sweetie and you like the meal you know this all
really appealing to you then go out and get it by all means clown have anything bad to say about
the quality of the items uh themselves so out of ten and i'm gonna be breaking
precedence i'm gonna be giving this two ratings allow me to explain why
from a quality standpoint the food is fine it's mcdonald's but it tastes exactly how you
would expect it to everything works the meal would get an 8 out of 10.
quality wise food wise right the food is fine so that's the review if you're interested in that
but i do want to give a second opinion uh of the meal in terms of its premise and
you know my disappointment in terms of the premise is measurable and my day isn't ruined
but i am a little bit i have mixed feelings now if this is sweetie's favorite meal from mcdonald's
that's fine by me you know hey she likes what she likes and that's fine heck even when i go
to mcdonald's i get this exact same meal pretty much sans uh sprite i always like getting a big
mac and some nuggets and the sweet and sour sauce along with some fries so i mean i've been getting
this meal a lot but one thing that i've noticed at least from my own viewpoint but also what i've
seen in the general public with these celebrity meals a lot of people always say i wish there
was something special about this meal something new to the menu something a little more inventive
and the fact that for this meal all we're getting is established favorites that have been here for
decades and decades there's no special burger there's no special sauce there's no special
anything about this sure you can take an item you can repackage it you could rebrand it and you can
call the sweet and sour sauce the sweetie and celery sauce which you know it is what it is
but is there anything new in the bts meal at least we had a few new sauces that came out
and with some of the preceding meals with the travis scott meal at least you had a burger that
was a little more customizable in this instance so you're really just getting a generic meal
that has been here on the menu for at least as long as i can remember so in terms of
the premise of the meal and in terms of originality how inventive it might be
i am a bit disappointed and from what i've already seen online a lot of other folks are too they're
kind of saying well you know everything works it tastes good but this is all that there is to it
and um that disappoints me and it's disappointed a lot of other folks as well so food wise it's fine
but as a concept that's where i do have a problem i think it just could have been a little better
in that regard like i said i have nothing against sweetie or any of that this is merely from a from
a conceptual point of view so taking that into account um you know in terms of just what the
meal is i would be giving it a 5 out of ten in terms of the idea and the execution thereof
but in terms of the actual food quality gets an eight out of ten that's the most important
thing to remember does it taste good yes it does so some mixed feelings about the sweetie meal
again i like the food i get this stuff all the time anyway um but to say it's something special
not necessarily so that's it just giving you the you know just the honest take and that's
all that i have for you thank you for watching i'm your host the report of the week take care
