Ex McDonald’s employee reveals her favourite ‘secret’ menu item that saves you more than $2 on a chocolate sundae
- Ex McDonald’s worker Queenie Tan has shared a little-known restaurant hack
- She orders a sundae in a lid for just $1.30 and adds chocolate or caramel sauce
- A regular sundae will set you back $3 and a large is an extra $1 on top of that
- She has previously spoken about her McNugget hack with a Happy Meal
An ex McDonald’s employee has shared her favourite secret menu item from the fast food franchise which satisfies her sweet tooth.
Marketing manager Queenie Tan, who lives in Sydney, first learned about ordering a mini sundae with a topping of your choice when she worked at Maccas as a teenager.
‘You can get a soft serve in a lid with chocolate or caramel sauce. It’s just like a mini sundae but it only costs $1.30. Did you know about this?’ She said in a recent TikTok video.

The 26-year-old often doesn’t want to spend $3 on a small sundae or $4 for a large so this is her ingenious way of saving money – and calories – when she visits the drive-through.
Customers can also make a mini McFlurry ordering in the same way with crushed Oreos or M&Ms on top.
In February Queenie shared another little-known hack that can save you money when ordering a McDonald’s meal.

While working there Queenie noticed the kids’ McNuggets Happy Meal and small McNuggets adult meal contain the same menu items.
But the kids Happy Meal is $2 cheaper and priced at $8.30, while the adult version costs $10.30.
‘I used to work at Maccas and something I learnt is that you can buy nuggets or a cheeseburger Happy Meal, which is the same thing but $2 cheaper!’ Queenie wrote on Instagram.
Customers receive small fries, Big Mac special sauce and a small drink with both options, but the Happy Meal is slightly cheaper and comes with a toy or book.
Queenie said you can ask the employee to keep the book or toy if desired.

To compare, the Happy Meal is priced at $8.30. Queenie noticed the price difference when working at McDonald’s as a teenager
Queenie told 7News the Happy Meal option is a better value for money, but customers are limited to a few choices.
‘You can only get a Cheeseburger, Hamburger, three or six pieces of chicken nuggets or a snack wrap and you can only get a small drink and fries with it – or apples if you don’t want fries,’ she said.
‘Unfortunately you can’t order it with a Big Mac or a McChicken burger.’
