A viral video claims to identify McDonald's least selling item.

Stephen Patula, a TikToker whose family owns a number of McDonald's stores, claims hot tea is the least-sold item.

"We bought these stores back in July, and I have yet to serve one hot tea," Patula said in the video, which has garnered 5 million views. "I actually didn't even know that we sold hot tea until about a month ago."

On the flip side, Patula said iced tea is his top seller.

Several TikTokers purported hot tea sells better in the U.K., but one top commenter said his U.S. store sold a hot tea recently.

"No one knew how to make it," the commenter wrote. "We had to get the (general manager) to help us."
