Secret Menus for fast food places

I just learned that I can make a double mcmuffin into a triple for only 30p extra via McDonalds automated menu's customise feature. Plus an extra slice of cheese was only 20p. It was still cheaper than the meal deal, but without the drink I never wanted as it was take out.
I'm operating at next level fast food here today.
It was not great, to be honest, but I felt proud that it happened.
Do you have any secret fast food recipes?

There's a whole ton of them. It depends on the cashier.
Usually I go to Popeyes or KFC right at 10 PM, order 2 pieces of chicken and then ask them if they are throwing away the rest of the food. Usually they are and are willing to throw it away into my bag instead of the garbage.
In-N-Out (which is way better than shake shack) has most of the menu in secrecy since there are only 4 things on the actual menu.
Anything can be made "as a Mac". It used to be free, but now there is a charge. It still ends up cheaper than a real Big Mac, so you can get McDoubles as a Mac pretty cheap. Since the Big Mac keeps getting smaller, the McDouble (which is nature's perfect vegetable) is a decent substitute for half the price.
Getting a meatball sub cut the old way at Subway is tricky, but there are still a few out there who know how to do it.

I feel mostly depressed about this. It might be one of the worst things I've ever read on CC.

Canoed? Is this a dueling banjo situation?

They used to cut the top off so it was like a trench. Good for meatball subs.

True but I would have called that "canoeing". Doom made it sound like that was something other than "the old way."
I liked that but often around here I'm happy they can figure out what bread I want.

I like how it started with sheet stain using the customization feature at the kiosk, and confusing that with secret menu.

Canoeing is when you rip all the excess bread out.

So hollowing it out after the V cut? Seems excessive.

Hollowing after any cut.

Nah- it's a feature on the touch screen ordering system. No kiosk ordering involved.
Also, "sheet stain" seems like kind of a stretch as a new nickname. I'm not sure anyone has come up with a good one yet though.

Wow- you really did some research into the word "kiosk", origins and all. Hell, I just thought you were a lazy troll. You're very dedicated to my breakfast sandwich choices.

Sure, I put in months of research.

That Ls for...
Let's try that again iPad, shall we?
Thanks for noticing, enroute to making sure I was not the only one in my region calling the computerized automated touch screen menu ordering stand, a kiosk. I noticed, before making my google inquiry more specific, that kiosk, started as something ancient that existed in Persia.
After coming back and playing with you in the thread more, I returned to google to find out what. That sort of thing is interesting. I enjoy lurnin and spelling things wrong on porpoise.
Granted I definitely spell often things wrong due to, poor pronunciation/phonetic errors, learning the word wrong back in the 1970s and now, sometimes because iPad has either had a bad spelling forced into the auto fill or whatever happened up top, sometimes because letters are too close together on this virtual keyboard, sometimes because I have a form of dyslexia, and sometimes just for reasons unexplained.
Most of the bad sentence structure/punctuation errors are mine.
When something like "?I" shows up, except for right there, it belongs to iPad.
