Moved to Forum: Original Link

Get 16 free ingredients on any CYT Burger. Haven't seen anyone else do this at my local Maccas so I assume it isn't common knowledge. Price is $8.95 for beef and $9.95 for chicken.

Process:

  • Choose beef or chicken and bun type.
  • Select three cheese slices, can be of same or different types.
  • Skip the Turn Up The Taste ingredients because they cost money.
  • Under Fresh'n It Up select a total of 10 ingredients with maximum of 3 per type.
  • Select three sauces, can be of same or different types.
  • Pay and wait for your frankenburger.

Tip: Probably best to ask for a plastic fork too since a burger with this many things in it is hard to eat.

    How is this a hack when the whole point of this is to pick and choose your own condiments to create your own burger? Hence the name ‘create your taste’. Youre supposed to be able to do this.

    • Ryballs on 05/01/2016 - 15:12
      +4

      Well I don't think they intend for people to add the maximum amount of free condiments but if you have a better title name let me know and I'll change it.

    How much are these normally?

    • Ryballs on 05/01/2016 - 15:23
      -1

      Well if you made these normally without CYT you'd be looking at about $20+. With CYT it's $8.95 for beef and $9.95 for chicken.

      • ronnknee on 05/01/2016 - 15:36

        It's not the same product if you're gonna compare to other restaurants. Might as well compare it to a foot long Subway ie. ~$8.

        • stig on 05/01/2016 - 15:57
          +4

          I think Ryballs meant if you ordered the same thing (with all the added stuff) at the Maccas counter, as opposed to using the CYT feature.

      Well there is the meat and cheese but yes mostly salad. So if you don't like rabbit food probably best sticking to cheeseburgers.

      What's the correlation between clothes and this bargain/burger/deal?

        • geoffellis on 06/01/2016 - 11:46

          I'm from Canada, and while it may not always be enforced by timid managers - it is standard policy across the board. McDonald's requires you to be wearing shoes and shirts if you're in the restaurants.

        • bargainhuntaa on 07/01/2016 - 14:09

          @geoffellis:

          It's too frosty to take off shoes and clothes in Canada anyway.

        • Baysew on 08/01/2016 - 14:55

          @geoffellis: McDonalds current advertising shows a surfer fresh from the beach placing an order at the counter, and a girl grabbing cash from her bikini bottom to pay.
          Yet one store has their own - No shirt No Shoes No Service policy.

    I thought it was common knowledge. They actually used to let you do an unlimited types of cheeses, salad and sauces but they clamped down on it and now it is 3 of any cheese, 3 of any sauce and I don't quite remember how salad went.

    HAhAhaha, I cannot upvote this enough. That's a monster of a burger and can just imagine the staff going "WTF?"

    Quick question, with all that, did it taste nice? Or was it just a mess?

    • samfisher5986 on 05/01/2016 - 15:30
      +1

      my experience is it won't taste nice unless you wanted to eat salad with a side of meat and bread.

    • Ryballs on 05/01/2016 - 15:30
      +2

      They actually taste really good, especially the chicken. Make a huge mess though.

    • cnrmlj on 06/01/2016 - 16:07

      I think I would just pull them excess salad out and have it as a side salad rather than try and eat it together. 1 sauce is enough too.

    How is this a bargain when its the purpose of the CYT meal?

    • Ryballs on 05/01/2016 - 15:35
      +1

      I don't think the purpose of CYT is to get as much free stuff as you can. Which is probably why I've never seen anyone else do this.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2016 - 15:39
        +5

        lol, it isn't 'free', its included in the minimum cost. If i was making it I would easily max the burger with all i could for the minimum price. Its no different from when you buy a hotdog at 7-11 and they have the condiments bar. You put three amounts of everything on until you can't see the dog or bun anymore

      • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2016 - 18:10
        +2

        It's not 'free'. You're paying a higher than average price for the 'gourmet' (aka served on a chopping board) burger in the first place. Do you really think Maccas is losing money when people buy a $10 burger?

  • Topdog on 05/01/2016 - 15:31

    This has always been the case. It's the whole point of a CYT burger. You're not cheating the system or anything. No deal here.

    This is like saying 'free straws and napkins with the purchase of a meal at maccas'.

    • Ryballs on 05/01/2016 - 15:36

      I think the purpose of CYT is to customise your burger but not necessarily to get as many free toppings as possible.

      Don't be silly, you don't have to buy anything to get the napkins, just walk into the store and take them from the place they keep them along with the straws and salt/pepper/sugar.

    AFAIK the only things that cost extra are bacon and an extra piece of meat/chicken.

    Everything you've added is free.

    I think adding different cheese might cost. Not sure, I don't order CYT.

      I agree that this isn't REALLY a deal, but "always been like this" doesn't mean it's not a deal.

      When a good deal has never been posted before it's still a deal, even if it's the permanent ongoing price or an ongoing discount/promo. (e.g. 2% cashback for ING, free QFF membership)

  • Roary on 05/01/2016 - 15:58
    +1

    How do you feel this is a deal? For starters nothing is free!! You get up to 16 condiments when you pay $8.95.
    You cant get these condiments for free if you dont buy a burger!!!

    So what you are suggesting is then instead of CYT a burger you enjoy you should CTY a burger that costs McDonalds the most.
    I would rather have burger I enjoy and leave you thinking that there is a deal somewhere for listing the limits on what you can add to this burger
