It's often accepted that egg products at a fast food joint are pre-made or use liquid egg, but McDonald's classic Egg McMuffin lets you bite into a real, fresh-cracked egg.

The eggs for the popular breakfast sandwich are cracked into one of several egg rings on equipment that bastes the eggs, and it's done not long before you get to the counter.
