McDonald’s, known for its classic fast food offerings, has taken a sweet turn with the introduction of a new dessert item inspired by grandmothers.
The Grandma McFlurry has been launched by the popular fast food chain and fans are eager to get their hands on this nostalgic treat.
In a statement released on May 16, 2024, McDonald’s expressed the sentiment behind the new menu item, stating, “McDonald’s is the place where lifelong memories are made with grandma. From treating us to an impromptu soft serve to letting us have dessert first – grandmas always know how to make us feel special.” The company invites fans to celebrate grandma by indulging in the Grandma McFlurry this summer.
The Grandma McFlurry features a blend of sweet flavors, with syrup and chopped, crunchy candy pieces mixed into creamy vanilla soft serve. According to McDonald’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Tariq Hassan, the new dessert item is a tribute to the special place grandmothers hold in our lives.
The limited-time dessert item is available at participating McDonald’s locations starting from Tuesday, May 21, 2024. McDonald’s online menu specifies that the Grandma McFlurry includes reduced-fat vanilla ice cream, butterscotch-flavored crumbles, and butterscotch-flavored syrup.
Fans have taken to social media to speculate about the flavor profile of the Grandma McFlurry, with some suggesting it may have a cookie-like taste or even be reminiscent of a Werther’s original candy. Regardless of the exact flavors, customers are excited to experience this trip down memory lane with the new dessert offering.
In addition to the Grandma McFlurry, McDonald’s is known for its secret menu items, which are created by customers and gain popularity among fans. From the Surf + Turf sandwich to the Land, Air & Sea combination, the secret menu showcases unique and creative food options for those in the know.
As McDonald’s continues to innovate and introduce new menu items, the Grandma McFlurry stands out as a heartwarming tribute to grandmothers everywhere. So, grab a spoon and share this special treat with the grandma-figure in your life before it disappears from the menu.
