McDonald’s has introduced a new dessert item that is sure to tug at your heartstrings and satisfy your sweet tooth. The Grandma McFlurry, inspired by grandmothers everywhere, is a limited-time menu offering that has fans of the fast food chain buzzing.
In a press release on May 16, 2024, McDonald’s shared the inspiration behind the Grandma McFlurry, emphasizing the special bond between grandchildren and their grandmothers. The dessert is described as a sweet treat, featuring chopped candy pieces and syrup blended into creamy vanilla soft serve.
Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s, Tariq Hassan, expressed the sentiment behind the Grandma McFlurry, stating, “Grandmas have always held a special place in our hearts, and today they’re having a major moment influencing culture – inspiring trends in fashion, decor, and now, even food with our newest McFlurry.”
The Grandma McFlurry is made with reduced-fat vanilla ice cream, butterscotch-flavored crumbles, and butterscotch-flavored syrup, delivering a nostalgic taste that customers are raving about. Although the exact flavor of the ingredients remains a mystery, fans speculate that it tastes like cookies or butterscotch.
Available starting on May 21, 2024, the Grandma McFlurry can be found at participating McDonald’s locations for a limited time, while supplies last. This heartfelt tribute to grandmothers is a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious dessert with a side of nostalgia.
McDonald’s also offers a secret menu featuring popular customer-created items, such as the Surf + Turf, Hash Brown McMuffin, and Crunchy Double. These hidden gems allow customers to customize their orders and enjoy unique combinations not found on the regular menu.
