McDonald’s McMini in Canada — Will you try it?

Posted by & filed under Canadian Deals & Coupons, Other / Canada.

McDonalds Canada Mini

It looks like McDon­alds Canada will be launch­ing a new line of sandwiches/burgers: The McDon­alds McMinis. The Mcdon­alds Mcmini burg­ers will con­sist of  a por­tion of grilled or cripsy sea­soned chicken topped with pesto or Thai sauce on a mini baguette. Mcminis will cost $1.99 plus tax. Inter­est­ingly we’re the first coun­try in the world to get the Mcdon­alds Mcminis! We’re being used as the guinea pigs I guess :P .

I’m not sure how large these burg­ers will be nor have I tried them, so it’s hard to make up my opin­ion on them yet. But if they’re sin­gle bite burg­ers I’d rather stick to the yummy unhealthy value meals.

What are your thoughts on the Mcdon­alds Mcminis? Will you be try­ing them out?

Here’s the Mcdon­alds Mcmini Canada Ad that will be air­ing on TV. I’m lovin the song in that ad :D

Update! Got more info about the McMinis from McDonalds:

Is it the small things in life that mat­ter most to you? Do you believe that good things come in small pack­ages? Well, if so, then McDonald’s McMini™ sand­wiches were made just for you! 

Small Size… Big Taste

    Tried crispy Thai chicken today. It’s actu­ally very good for a fast food sandwich.

    I see quite a few peo­ple com­par­ing it to the wraps and jr. burg­ers, but the McMini seems abit smaller than even those wraps and jr. burg­ers, while the price is slightly higher. My con­clu­sion is that the McMinis are not there for value but rather qual­ity (yes, an odd thing to say about McDonald’s), in a smaller serv­ing size.

    Hi, can some­one please tell me what the song (in the eng­lish ver­sion) is? I can’t find it anywhere!

    I have lit­er­ally just fin­ished one (actu­ally 2 w/ 1 more to go!) off right now. I like it! The bun lit­er­ally looks and tastes like a mini sub­ma­rine eng­lish muf­fin. I like the crispy chicken that pesto’s good. IDK if that’s mayo on the bot­tom, because I absolutely DETEST mayo and think it should an OPT-IN condi­ment! So I’ll just tell myself it’s a form of ranch dress­ing. Good job, McDonald’s. I’d be inter­ested in try­ing the Thai next. I have never seen the ads before or heard of this prod­uct until 10 min­utes ago when my dad sur­prised me w/ it for din­ner. I guess I must live in a cave, or avoid watch­ing Cana­dian net­works (crappy CTV and Global) like the plague [the plague describes the process and qual­ity of KFC chicken, btw!)]. Start adver­tis­ing on HGTV and BBC Canada if you want me to see them.

    i had them both tonight, pesto 7/10 and thai 9/10, i got a side of south­west sauce and it made them both way bet­ter to be hon­est. def worth get­ting, prob my new fav things at mcdicks

  5. Jacob Gordon Pottinger

    They’re good. i live in Vic­to­ria British Colum­bia in Lang­ford on Volmer rd

    They are both awe­some. I pre­fer the pesto, but that’s just me. I agree with #46 that it’s the best thing McD’s makes.

    THERE SOOO GOOOD I JUST HAD ONE but they are really small too

  8. kerry

    I bought one of each and liked the thai one the best.They were a nice lunch.

    I have tried the McMini crispy and I thought it was very good.. I like it bet­ter then the wrap..

    McMini thai crispy was dry, the bun was like a dry eng­lish muf­fin. im a big mac lover at heart

    Hated them absolutely. DH loved them — so there you go. IMHO, if you go to McD you may as well get some good old junk. This li’l chicken fin­ger (crispy) and piece of chicken breast(?) (grilled) did noth­ing for me. There was more sug­ary “baguette” than meat, and the sauces — pesto and hot? were not interesting.

    I won­der how quickly they would be “chopped” on food network.

    Sorry, I dont leave neg­a­tive com­ments, but this one just got to me …

    Some of my col­leagues told me that the pesto mcmini’s taste awful, but I’ve had the grilled thai mcmini, and that tastes pretty great. :)

    These mc minis have excel­lent fla­vors and are really good, but i do wish they’d offer full size burger ver­sions cause it takes like 6 of them to sat­isfy me.

  15. Vinnie

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE These bite-size sand­wiches. The pesto is good, the thai was per­fect. I agree how­ever the size is small. I bought 2 so it could fill me. To #62, a strip of crispy or grilled chicken breast is ALOT health­ier than a McDonald’s beef patty. Any­ways I would rec­om­mend to try a cou­ple as a snack for on the way home from work.

    I had to buy my co work­ers mcflur­ries so i decided to try the crispy thai mcmini. It was ter­ri­ble! They didn’t serve it on a mini baguette at all, it was more like a soggy eng­lish muf­fin. The sand­wich itself was about the size of a snack wrap with the same por­tion of chicken in it. I think it was ridicu­lous that they put mayo and thai sauce as well. It was extremely soggy and unpleasand. I’ll stick to my snack wrap next time!

    We just stopped by for a small snack and saw these, we each got a thai vari­ety and thought the fla­vor was out­stand­ing! Seems a tad pricy for what you get but I would get it again… actu­ally look­ing for­ward to it.

    I’m from the south in the US and just trav­el­ing through Canada. Got a cou­ple of mcminis to snack on dur­ing our drive. Absolutely loved the pesto but hated the zesty mango. No one seems to have men­tioned that fla­vor but in Daw­son Creek they have 3 fla­vors. It is pretty small and fairly expen­sive given the size but I like them nonethe­less. Wish they had these in the states.

    Im try­ing to start my own blog, so ive been search­ing and this is the best one if seen so far, Great Job!!!

    I do not eat fast food, never have. But out of des­per­a­tion one day I stopped and bought a Zesty Mango McMini. And loved it. It does sound gross.…mango sauce with gar­lic mayo. But,trust me, I’m very fussy, and this was del­ish. I pre­fer the grilled chicken to the crispy, to avoid the fatty bat­ter coating.

    I can­not under­stand how peo­ple can read this and not think “genius alert”. Great post. I’ll keep com­ing back to read even more.
