I'm officially taking the McRib off my to-do list based on this. 
Pig heart and scalded stomach? McGross.

The Simpsons take on the "Rib" summed it up...
"Like a rib, it tastes like liberty. Like a rib, with a bun of sesame. We start with authentic, letter-graded meat, and process the hell out of it, till it's good enough for Krusty."

They have a mango, soft serve, sprite frozen sprizter thing in China. it is odd, and a bit tasty. I was stuck at the PEK airport next to a McD and got one because 4 hours with nothing, is too long.

I tried that a few weeks back in Shanghai and I threw it away after a few sips. It just tasted unbelievably artificial.

hum, mine actually had mango puree in it, it was not syrup. The soft serve was very sweet however. Or maybe I was just hungry and thirsty and ignored taste that day!

If they did, why would you pay 6x more for a subpar product when you could get the real deal for less than $0.40 anywhere on the street?!
i had quite a few bubble teas, and even a bubble iced coffee, and enjoyed MOST of them.
One variety doesn't have the same bubbles, but coconut flavored tapioca strips, and it was actually my favorite.

Anybody ever try the Tuna Pie in Thailand?
Although we have a policy of never, EVER eating at McDonald's, one of my daughters and I share an odd fascination with the various localized offerings we see. This was our personal favorite, and one of the only ones we've actually been tempted to try out, simply to see if it was anywhere near as vile as it sounds/looks:
