Well, you can now make that happen if you live down under. And by that I mean Australia, not down under the dumpster outside your local Mickey D’s. McDonald’s is currently hosting a [“Create Your Taste” contest](https://mcdonalds.com.au/create-your-taste/your-ingredients "undefined") in Australia. It offers customers the opportunity to customize their own burger using a list of 30 ingredients. They can enter their creation online for a chance to win one of [100,000 possible prizes](http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/04/news/companies/mcdonalds-lettuce-burger/index.html?section=money%5Ftopstories "undefined"). Winners may get a free meal at the chain, a trip to Thailand, or one of the 99,998 options in between. McDonald’s displays some of the [creations on their website](https://perfectmatch.mcdonalds.com.au "undefined") along with the artist’s name. Here are a few interesting concoctions: [Matt](https://perfectmatch.mcdonalds.com.au/burger-share/1095743 "undefined") made a sandwich with two angus patties with red onion, cheddar, caramelized onions, rasher bacon, grilled pineapple, a fried egg, tomato chili jam _and_ aioli wrapped in lettuce. Sounds messy. [Isabella’s](https://perfectmatch.mcdonalds.com.au/burger-share/1095763 "undefined") creation includes an angus patty with jalapeños, red onion, cheddar, Swiss, rasher bacon, guacamole, tomato chili jam, dijonnaise and herb aioli on a brioche bun. _Four_ condiments. These people are bold. [Alex](https://perfectmatch.mcdonalds.com.au/burger-share/1095740 "undefined") whipped up something for all you vegetarians out there: Jalapeños, red onion, pickle, tomato, sliced beetroot, herb aioli, and three slices of lettuce wrapped in lettuce. This guy really likes lettuce. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/"},"headline":"These May Be the Weirdest McDonald’s Burgers Ever Devised","datePublished":"2015-08-04T14:56:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:52:50.475Z","description":"And here's why you can't get one","url":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/","keywords":["Australia","Food","Mcdonald's","Fast Food","franchise","burgers","Contest","pubdesk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt396447b0a4c32e15/69885dc58e0601679b461b0b/77417064.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Michal Addady / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt396447b0a4c32e15/69885dc58e0601679b461b0b/77417064.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"McDonalds Earnings Rise On Value Menu","caption":"McDonalds Earnings Rise On Value Menu","creditText":"Scott Olson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/","name":"These May Be the Weirdest McDonald’s Burgers Ever Devised"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"McDonald's, McMuffins, and All-Day Breakfast","description":"McDonalds is looking to offer all-day breakfast as numbers continue to drop.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/iTtp0qBo/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-23T18:23:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/iTtp0qBo.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/","duration":"PT1M21S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3983724/mcdonalds-contest-taste-weirdest-burgers/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
