Despite competitors like Burger King and KFC introducing onion rings as a side a while ago, McDonald’s has yet to follow along. And according to TikToker Mike Haracz, former corporate chef at McDonald’s, there is a good reason for that.

Responding to a question by a follower, Haracz explained that McDonald’s doesn’t sell onion rings because of “efficiency”. According to Haracz, McDonald’s is “most profitable when it is most efficient,” and that strive for efficiency even prompted the fast-food chain to start reducing their menu offerings lately.

The reason why making onion rings would make McDonald’s less efficient is because they already have a side option in French fries that works for them and brings them a lot of money. French fries are easier to make, sell like crazy, and come with a huge markup for the fast food chain.

On the other hand, onion rings are more complicated to make, wouldn’t come with a significant markup, and would also cut into French fries consumption. A lot of customers would prefer onion rings over French fries, making them less profitable.

Haracz concludes that McDonald’s will likely introduce onion rings as a limited option at some point, but you shouldn’t expect that to happen anytime soon.

Veggie Chips

If you want the nutrition of vegetables but the crunch of a chip, make your own veggie chips at home! Use the mandoline to cut up beets, sweet potato, or whatever root vegetables you want. Place them on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Bake until crispy and enjoy!

Fruit Salad

If you want to enjoy delicious fruit salad but have hard to work with fruits like kiwis or peaches, use a mandoline to help you slice them evenly and without hassle.

Onion Rings

Onions rings are so fun to make at home because they are a crowd favorite. If you want to end up with uniform slices without all the tears, use the mandoline to make sure everyone gets equally sized and equally delicious onion rings.
