So I purchased a full price McSpider and realised Maccas was robbing me of my hard earned 50 cents.
Process:
ps - you need to strap that thing in with the seat-belt before you take off and lose it
That's my saying.
YES YOU CAN!
Can I use your saying?
YES YOU CAN!
CAN I USE IT TOO?
SAY MY NAME
Very creative. Well done.
LOL +1
Wow, people really hated your joke.
That's plain…
Water failure!
Bahaha!
No..Large water Failure….lol
Nice try. But a real ozbargainer would get a free large water instead of paying for a frozen coke.
Trying to get on the monthly most negged comment list are we?
Called it…😜
Hey, do you still get awarded "Unpopular Comment" haha
OP are you a wizard?
Get your ears checked, boy
:/
I love OzBargain, such a creative bunch of people :)
What a world we live in
Also, try ordering fries and a shake. Dip french fries in shake. Enjoy.
Ew :/
Google it! French fries and chocolate or vanilla milkshake. It's an actual food combination that works!
Salty + sweet = works somehow.
Think of how 'salted caramel' flavoured everything started becoming a thing. Or dark Lindt 'with a touch of sea salt'. Or how some people eat watermelon with a bit of salt (or how you see watermelon and feta cheese combined in a salad).
They complement each other in some situations. I haven't tried fries dipped in shakes/soft serves but can easily imagine the taste working.
I dip my fries into a soft serve cone.
Salty and sweet, hot and cold.
Will try shake next time tho it does cost more than 30 cents.
Pears in a salad with Balsamic vinegar
@Organised Chaos: Yes! mmm. Had a pear and gorgonzola salad once, with balsamic dressing. Was so good.
Fruit on cheese platters too.
Seal with Heidi Klum?
Order a cone in a sundae lid and you will get more icecream and no cone
yeah but the sundae lid is a little on the chewy side
But more fibre. Better for you.
Add a flake too :) (bought elsewhere on offer of course!)
Hilarious.. hahah
would you say your spidey-senses were tingling?
Reminds me of the great ozbargain mcflurry
This is kind of like my sandwich hack, it's a bit more complicated than this though.
Instead of buying my lunch at a sandwich shop everyday I go to Aldi and buy a loaf of bread, ham, tomato, cheese and lettuce at the start of the week. Then when at home I make the sandwich myself the night before, every day of the week. The savings are massive.
lots of work though, time means money.
If you consider the time you waste waiting at the sandwhich shop it's probably a lot less. I can't do sandwhiches for lunch though. I need something hot
Mate the time you spend waiting in line at Aldi to buy all this stuff is probably the longest part of this idea!
Subway hates him.
Is 'I make myself a sandwich' now known as a 'hack'?
If that is the case I have all sorts of 'hacks'…
Hey since you're talking about lunch, I can help you at the other end. I know a great hack for toilet paper I learnt from Bottom and Adrian Edmudson years ago. To save time, eat the toilet paper whilst you're eating your food. That way you've already pre wiped.
Kinda like my car wash "hacK" where instead of going to a car wash and letting the 16 year old kid install swirls and marring, I buy car washing stuff and wash my own car at home. See, I'm a hacker too!
I have got a great hack for dry cleaning - see if you can guess (hint, it involves a washing machine and detergent). It saves big $$$
I used to get my shirts washed and iron at the dry cleaners for heaps of $$$ until I discovered this one weird little trick…….. An iron with an ironing board, crazy right?
It was only $1.30 in 2014 when this idea was posted on Lifehacker. But the McDonald’s Frozen Coke Float cost $4.50 at that time!

Yeah I was about to say this is old news…
Also if you didnt want the cone you can just ask for the soft serve to be in a lid
I wonder if you can ask them to put the soft serve in the bottom of the cup first (minus the cone) then the frozen coke on top. Does it mix very well when you just stick it on the top like that?
But then you are getting less frozen Coke, this is not only cheaper but you also get more.
Added to that I'd like to see you drink it with the straw when the soft serve is on the bottom.
Doing this when I knock off shortly. They're reaction is going to be… interesting.
I'm frothing with anticipation
Is that a spider between your legs or are you just happy to see us.
Well that was disappointing. Where's the pun?
No pun required. The result is clearly all that's needed.
Really a huge savings with this deal. Now i can plan my long awaited world tour…:)
Don't forget to visit a few McDonald's on your tour… http://hackthemenu.com/mcdonalds/secret-menu/root-beer-float…
At least they credited you (well, OzB)
This is what OzB should be about.
finally a saving i can put towards retirement
What a time to be alive
can't wait for this to become the genesis of a TED Talk
1a. Ask for a second empty large cup with it then half the frozen coke between the two.
2a. Ask for ice cream in a sundae cup and then add it ontop of the two frozen cokes
Alternative:
1b. If they refuse a second large cup, ask for a free large water, possibly without the water.
2b. Most stores allow for ice cream in a sundae cup when ordering a cone, if not simply share out the icecream and fight over the cone (with yourself ofc, as we all know you're getting bother these for yourself and not actually sharing)
If it's a friendly/flexible store:
1c. Some stores are completely fine with half-filling two large cups for you, saving you some time.
2c. Some stores MAY be fine even putting the ice cream in the same cup after doing the above, though you'll get a few weird looks…
Two for $1.50, rather than $2ea. You end up with about the same amount of frozen coke but slightly less ice cream.
Ah, the McDouble Frozen Coke McSpider Hack.
It rolls off my tongue just thinking of it.
50c in VIC.
And NSW
Not anymore…

Apple (fried) pies have also gone up…
Do shake and win at hungry jacks first. You might get the drink or ice cream free making it even cheaper.
Heh.
Bunghole! Huh-huh huh.
Oh man a cone has a very different meaning around these parts, i thought that since america was legalizing pot that maccas was suddenly putting it on the menu like wtf
Matching handle..

Might be time to slow down on the cones, man.
I usually hate these fast food hacks, because I really don't abusing things that are setup to be of benefit to the customer in the first place.
This, however, is genius! Not cheating the system, just giving people a serving suggestion.
Well played OP, and original OP.
Wow, hot hot hot
Really? So many likes just to save 50 cents on this crap…lol, you guys need to get a life ;)
pretty cheesey of you to make that comment, after a video of you eating cheese from a 'friends' fridge loaded with money… went viral
50cent made this account 10 months ago just to make this sort of comment. He was literally born to fulfill this exact duty.
Don't destroy his life ambitions.
Says 50 cents..
How do I get a cone in the $2 one?
50 cents alot of money…U save 50 cents here then you go somewhere else and save another 50 cents…now you have 1 dollar…then you go back to Mcdonalds and you buy another frozen coke!
Be a man..Doooo da right ting
OMG MAN 50 whole CENTS!?!??? YOU ARE GENIUS SIR
