REVEALED: The top five best-selling McDonald’s items of 2021 – and shockingly fries haven’t made the cut
- McDonald’s Australia has revealed the top five most popular menu items for 2021
- It was the humble $4.70 cheeseburger that reigned supreme against other items
- The golden hash brown was dubbed second best and a Big Mac burger third
- Surprisingly, fries didn’t make the cut on the most popular list for the year
McDonald’s Australia has revealed the top five food items that were most popular throughout 2021, and the result may surprise some.
While many turn to fries for a quick snack, it was the humble $4.70 cheeseburger that reigned supreme against all menu offerings.
The second most popular item was the golden hash brown priced at a mere $2.60, followed by the classic Big Mac beef burger in third place.
Surprisingly, fries didn’t make the top five.

In fourth place was the bite-sized chicken McNuggets made from 100 per cent Aussie chicken breast with a crisp tempura coating.
Unlike the previous indulgent menu items, the frothy McCafe cappuccino won fifth place.
It’s also surprising a McCafe item made the top five list when other options, including onion rings and McFlurry ice cream, are known to be popular menu items.
A McDonald’s Australia spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia it’s always difficult to predict which menu items will be dubbed as favourites.
‘Every Macca’s customer chooses their own taste adventure, which makes it hard to predict the ultimate fan favourites. There’s the great Big Mac or McChicken debate, Hash Brown or French Fries, McFlurry with Oreo or M&M Minis?’ a McDonald’s Australia spokesperson said.
‘The competition will hot up even more this summer with new favourites on the menu including the Chicken Big Mac, Big Mac Bacon and Onion Rings with BBQ Sauce.’
