It seems like other countries always release cooler McDonald's menu items than we do here in the United States. Whether it's the McChurros at McDonald's Japan, or McDonald's China's Sausage Double Beef Burger, it feels like McDonald's here in the U.S. is always behind in the game.

Now we get to gawk at the Mozzarella and Pesto Bites that have been spotted in Romania.

Travel writer Michael W. fancies himself in trying different food outside of the United States and snapped some shots of the cheese balls in McDonald's Romania. An order of four bites comes out to 5.5 Romanian lei, or about $1.60 in U.S. currency. That means they come out to about $.40 per ball.

We saw fried cheesy goodness from McDonald's earlier this year when the McMozarella sticks and McMarinera sauce was tested in the UK, but these balls are a little fancier.

It's cool that we're getting free coffee at McDonald's here in the U.S., but it's still time for Ronald to step up his game.
