Here’s what a McDonalds burger with no patty, bun or toppings costs

Ever wanted to know what McDonald’s would charge you if you ordered a cheeseburger and asked the restaurant to hold literally everything? You’re about to find out.

Call it more of an interesting sociological experiment than a true fast food order. But now someone has discovered what happens when you go to McDonald’s and tell them you want a cheeseburger plain — but also without the cheese, meat and bun.

As explained by Money, a teenager in the U.K. decided to see how that very unusual custom order would go over when placed through automatic ordering kiosks. Turns out you actually can ask for a burger with … well, nothing.

While the teen’s tweets are protected now, suffice it to say they were able to order the cheeseburger, hold everything and the kiosk accepted it as a legitimate order.

"When she removed all those items, Ari was left with, well, nothing. But the “sandwich” still cost her £0.99 — or about $1.27.The cashier gave Ari the order, and it consisted of an empty bag. Fortunately, Ari found the whole incident funny, not frustrating. And others agreed — when she tweeted about it, the story quickly went viral."

Mashable attempted to reach out to McDonald’s for comment to see if this was something we could all expect but didn’t hear back as of the time of this post.

Naturally, restaurant chains can’t necessarily program kiosks for the most ridiculous scenarios, but this one doesn’t seem too hard to correct at the ordering level. The “nothing burger” should count as nothing at all, not something you’d actually get from a Dollar Menu.

Jokes aside, as self-serve ordering kiosks and screens become more common, chains are going to face weird uses cases they may not have considered. It might be time to think about all the ways this kind of stuff can go awry.
