Double Cheeseburger and Small Fries

Nothing goes together better than a Double Cheeseburger and McDonald’s Fries. These two go way back, as they have been a winning combination for many years.

Some quarterback-receiver tandems have chemistry that also goes back many years. From dominating the collegiate ranks and winning National Championships to making waves in the pros and winning the big game, we’ve seen connections remain as strong as ever.

Just like adding ketchup to your fries, a talented supporting cast only makes them even better.

The Dynamic Duo: Sausage McMuffin and Hash Brown

These two are the stars of the menu — incredibly popular, the ultimate classic, and everyone knows them. The Sausage McMuffinâ„¢ and Hash Brown are always reliable, and these beloved staples will always be great.

Sound familiar? Countless football duos have achieved incredible success together, dominating the league with chemistry and talent. We’ve seen many iconic pairings often set records and push the boundaries of what’s possible, whether a QB-WR, QB-RB, or even a DL-LB.

Individually, these players are standout talents, but together, they elevate their game to unprecedented levels. It’s similar to how the Sausage McMuffin and Hash Brown are beloved on their own but become even more iconic when combined into a fan-favorite duo.

The Spread Offense: McChicken, 4-Piece McNuggets, Small Fry, and Carbonated Soft Drink

The Spread Offense has become more and more present in recent years, and the McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal has the perfect meal spread for you.

Sure, you can sub in a McDouble™ in place of a McChicken™, but the rest of the lineup remains the same — 4-piece Chicken McNuggets™, Small Fries, and a Carbonated Soft Drink.

These items are delicious on their own, but they also complement each other and your taste buds. They all hit the spot. Now, thanks to the $5 Meal Deal, you can have all of these for a bargain price.

Sausage Biscuit and Sausage Burrito

McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit and Sausage Burrito are delicious, but this combo particularly stands out early in the day as the perfect breakfast to start your morning.

Some football teams are known for their strong starts, often jumping out to early leads with explosive offensive performances. Their ability to set the tone early in games has made them a force to be reckoned with.

Like a great breakfast combo, this approach leaves opponents scrambling to stop the momentum. And if you pair these two together? Just watch how it carries you through the morning and into the afternoon.

Ready to make your own pairing based on your favorite football duo? Be sure to check out the new McValue Menu at McDonald’s! From the $5 Meal Deal to the Buy One, Add One for $1, you’ll get more than you expect — all day, every day.

Prices and participation may vary. McDouble Meal may be $6 in some markets. Meal Deal for a limited time only. BOAO $1 valid for item of equal or lesser value.
