Calling all fast food fans – have you ever wondered how Aldi’s McDonald’s inspired dishes shape up against the real deal?
The budget supermarket launched several products similar to the fast food chain, from the “Big Stack” to their chicken nuggets.
Ever since, customers have been raving about the products, saying that they taste great and save them money.
Now, a McDonald’s fan has put them to the ultimate food test and tried the Aldi dupe alongside the McDonald’s product to see how they compare – and she couldn’t believe the results.
TikTok user Grace Booth, whose profile is @gracebooth97, started by trying the Big Stack, which costs just £1.49, against the Big Mac, which is usually around £3.29.
Grace was initially sceptical about the Big Stack, which comes frozen – complete with frozen cheese – and is cooked in the microwave.

“You can definitely tell it’s not a Big Mac but they’ve done a really good job.”
Next, she turned her attention to Aldi’s version of Chicken Selects, aka Crispy Chicken Strips, which are £2.49 compared to McDonald’s price point of almost £5.
Once again, Grace followed the cooking instructions and placed them on a plate next to the real thing.
She then told her 243,000 plus followers: “I am a ride or die Chicken Select lover.

“They are my favourite thing that McDonald’s do by miles, so these better live up to expectations.”
She then gave her verdict, as she had a look at the chicken strip alongside the BBQ sauce that it comes with.
Grace said: “You know what, [the sauces] actually look very similar.
