US' MOST UNIQUE MCDONALD'S AS VISITED BY DYLAN 

Dylan Huynh from California set of on a McNugget filled adventure to visit five of the country's wackiest outlets:

• UFO-themed restaurant in Roswell, New Mexico: 'Feels like you're in a UFO'
• The McMansion in New York state:  'Pretty to look at but not fun'
• World's largest McDonald's in Orlando, Florida: 'Sells McPasta and McPizza'
• McDonald's HQ in Chicago: 'The global menu rotates every three months'
• CosMc in Illinois: 'Menu designed to boost your mood into the stratosphere'

In terms of the food, Dylan didn't find anything unusual, so he opted for a portion of 20 chicken McNuggets and a McFlurry. Both got his seal of approval. 

Before leaving, he snapped a photo with a 'cool alien statue' and bought something from the gift shop. 

Next up, Dylan heads to what he deems the 'world's fanciest McDonald's.'

The colonial era McDonald's, dubbed the McMansion, is set in a 19th-century former farmhouse in Hyde Park, New York. 

The classical building was saved from being knocked down by local activists and it was given landmark status.

In his YouTube video, Dylan reveals that it became a McDonald's in 1991. 

As he opens the 'fancy door' and steps inside, he is shocked by the interiors with a 'grand staircase leading up to the second floor' and exposed wooden beams in the ceiling. 

He adds: 'It literally feels like I'm inside someone's house, a very rich person's house.'

Along with a fancy door, he found 'fancy lights, fancy windows, fancy plants, even the trash cans were fancy.' 

While he was impressed by the regal interiors, Dylan wasn't so enthused about the ambience. He found the restaurant seemed very empty, with 'no kids' and 'just fancy looking old people.'

As he sits down he says: 'I don't know how to explain this but I feel very uncomfortable in this McDonald's. I feel like I have to whisper.

The third stop on Dylan's whirlwind tour is the world's largest McDonald's, which is located in Orlando, Florida

The pizza also gets his seal of approval, despite the floppy base not filling him with high hopes

'I'm just going to go right out and say it. I am not having that much fun at this McDonald's.' 

After finishing a portion of chicken McNuggets, Dylan leaves the restaurant with the farewell message: 'Goodbye world's fanciest McDonald's you are pretty to look at but very weird.'

Continuing on his quest, Dylan visits the McDonald's global headquarters in Chicago where they offer a global menu of their delicacies from around the world

Out of the three items, he deems the Korean salted caramel McFlurry with Oreo the winner and he puts in a plea for it to come to the states

He says the colorful bowl of tortellini he orders is 'a lot better' than he expected and he adds that it 'might be better than Olive Garden.'

The pizza also gets his seal of approval, despite the floppy base not filling him with high hopes. 

After having a fill and boxing the remnants up, Dylan heads to the arcade to play some games and he spends $120 on a gaming card. 

Lastly, he heads to the play area to test out the 'infamous big yellow slide.' 

Summing up the world's largest McDonald's he says: 'This place is the exact opposite from the McMansion. The McMansion was dull, gray and quiet [but] this McDonald's was very lively, very colorful and definitely not quiet.'
