From a floating restaurant to a decommissioned plane, McDonald’s isn’t just known for its burgers.

There are plenty of bizarre locations in which to enjoy a fry or two – and now, the internet has spotted potentially the creepiest Maccies yet, where guests eat their dinners next to human remains.

Yes, you heard that correctly. Undoubtedly one of the most morbid McDonald’s outlets, an American tourist recently shared her discovery on TikTok, much to the shock of her followers.

‘I’m at McDonalds right now. We’re in Rome, keep that in mind,’ Kassidy of @Kassidy.and.James dictated to the camera, showing the glass floor framing an ancient cobbled road.

Continuing inside the restaurant, still filming the floor and its museum-like contents, a creepy figure could be seen lurking below – that of a skeleton, tucked just inside to the left. Blink, and you could’ve missed it.

‘That’s the gothest McDonald’s ever,’ joked @abadhombre23 in the comments, while @erika_random penned ‘when in Rome.’

But how did this skeleton end up below the floor of one of the biggest fast food chains in the world?

While American giants like McDonald’s have had a difficult time penetrating the market in Italy – there aren’t too many (702 versus the UK’s circa 1,300) –plenty of tourists still enjoy sampling the menu despite being in such a famous culinary hotspot.

And in places like Italy, which has a dense population of Roman ruins for obvious reasons, it’s not uncommon to see remains covered by glass flooring such as this one.

When this unique restaurant was built in 2014, workers discovered the 2000-year-old road, and so the site was subsequently carved out by a team archaeologists.

Then, when it eventually opened in 2017, McDonald’s decided that it simply had to double up as a museum – a fun addition for any morbidly curious history fans.

‘We think it was a side road that connected the Appian Way to a settlement or maybe an important property such as the villa of a rich noble or an imperial estate,’ Alfonsina Russo, superintendent of archaeology for Rome, previously told The Telegraph.

Archaeologist Pamela Cerino added that there were actually three skeletons, the oldest of which they were able to trace as a man aged between 35 and 40 at his time of death.

Alfonsina explained: ‘Sadly only this section survived – the rest was destroyed. But it’s of great historical importance.

‘The Appian Way was travelled by famous figures such as (the Roman poet) Horace, who recounted his journey from Rome to Brindisi in his Satires.’

This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has made headlines for its unique restaurant settings either.

There are plenty in bizarre locations, from the first floating McDonald’s restaurant in St Louis, Missouri, to another in Paris found in a historic building.

And in Taupo in New Zealand, there’s even a Maccie D’s (or Macca’s, as they call it there) with a dining room inside of a decommissioned Douglas DC-3 plane.

What a way to enjoy your chicken nugs, eh?
