IN the height of lockdown, we tried our best to replicate our favourite McDonald's meals at home – but somehow it never quite went to plan. No matter how hard we tried.
Either the fries ended up soggy or the chicken nuggets were super dry – but the giant slabs of onion in her homemade Big Mac had to be our biggest fail of all.
That said, a McDonald's worker has revealed exactly how they make them so delicious – and it turns out, we never stood a chance at all.
Earlier this month, TikToker Maccas Myths gave their 2,000 followers a behind-the-scenes look at the McDonald's they work in.

"Large onions which have been cut up and dehydrated onions which are put it water overnight."
