What is the viral McOcean burger and is it real? TikTok: @maligoshikChances are that if you\u2019ve been scrolling through TikTok, you\u2019ve come across a viral burger called the McOcean. The crazy burger has sparked rumors and left viewers wondering if it\u2019s even real. The original video that displayed the viral McOcean burger was posted by TikTok user @maligoshik on June 22, and has accumulated over 4.1 million views since. In the video, she unpacks a box with the name \u2018McOcean\u2019 written on top in the classic McDonald\u2019s font, before revealing a rather unusual concoction. Inside, there is a Filet-O-Fish patty topped with three small octopuses, some mini shrimps, and tartar sauce. The short video doesn\u2019t provide any context about the burger itself, and ends after she takes a bite of the burger, simply telling viewers, \u201cI like it.\u201d It became a major talking point on the platform, with many viewers confused as to whether or not the product was legitimate, having never seen anything like it before. \u201cWhere is the McOcean burger at?\u201d one asked, while another said, \u201cI can\u2019t find ANYTHING on this sandwich besides this video.\u201d It blew up so much that former corporate McDonald\u2019s chef, Mike Haracz, even responded. In his video, he told viewers that he believed the video was fake for two key reasons. The first was that \u201cMcDonald\u2019s has to put its ingredients\u2019 nutritional information out there in the world, and when you search the McOcean burger, nothing comes up.\u201d The second reason, which he said only a trained McDonald\u2019s chef would pick up on, is that \u201cwhen you make a Fillet O Fish, you have one side that has the cheese and one side that has the fish. \u201cThe other side has a bunch of the sauce, but if you look at this picture (screenshot of open-faced McOcean) it looks like there\u2019s a lot of sauce under the octopus, and then a little bit left on top of the crown. This means she opened up the Filet O Fish, added a bunch of stuff to it, then closed it, meaning that it\u2019s probably not true.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time that a fake fast food item has gone viral on TikTok, In December 2023, a rumor spread that Wendy\u2019s was actually selling crab legs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
