McDonald’s Menu Shake-Up: Classic Fan Favorite Makes Triumphant Return
McDonald’s Menu Shake-Up: Classic Fan Favorite Makes Triumphant Return.
McDonald’s is making a move that could potentially shake up the dessert game. Don’t tempt me. I’ve been know to drive from one McDonald’s in Cape Coral to another in Estero just to get an elusive menu item. The golden Arches are about to do it to me again by bringing back the Oreo Frappé. Yes, according to The Street, for the first time in eight years, you can relish in a delectable coffee drink that’s essentially a dessert in a cup. It’s like having your cake and drinking it too.
Now, some might be wondering, “Isn’t a Frappé just a fancy word for a shake?” Technically, no. A Frappé is a Starbucks Frappuccino knockoff that has crushed ice, making it somewhat of a distant cousin to the shake family.
McDonald’s Favorite:
However, let’s not get too technical here. Whether it’s a shake or a Frappé, the Oreo Frappé is back and ready to satisfy your sweet tooth. According to the Fast Food Post, the Oreo Frappé will be made by blending McDonald’s mocha coffee Frappé base with crushed ice, Oreo cookie pieces, and cookies-and-cream syrup. It will then be topped with whipped cream and even more Oreo cookie crumbs. Sounds delicious!
But before you rush to your nearest McDonald’s, be aware that not every location will have the Oreo Frappé. It’s a good idea to call ahead and check if your local McDonald’s is participating.
If you’re looking to switch up your dessert routine, the Oreo Frappé may be your new go-to. It’s an alternative to the McFlurry, which is known for its broken machines. In fact, there’s even a website dedicated to tracking which McDonald’s locations have working McFlurry machines. Talk about a first-world problem.
So why not switch things up and try the Oreo Frappé instead? It’s a perfect way to indulge in a sweet treat without worrying about the McFlurry machine. Plus, you’ll get a little caffeine boost to go with it. Just remember that a medium Oreo Frappé has 570 calories, so perhaps it’s best to skip the fries.
Not So Fast McDonalds: Don't Forget About These Big Product Change Disasters
Not so Fast McDonalds…
The fast food world is in a frenzy over some BIG news: McDonald’s is changing its burgers! The fast food giant has decided to give its core menu items a revamp, and the changes are set to shake up the burger scene.
According to CNN, the iconic Big Mac is getting even bigger and messier with more of its special sauce. I mean, who doesn’t love a sauce that’s a bit messy? It’s like wearing your food on your face is a new trend. And not only that, but the buns are also getting a makeover, described as “pillowy” and “toasted to a golden brown.” Finally, the buns won’t be like hockey pucks anymore! I can hear the cheers of burger lovers everywhere.
But wait, there’s more! The cheese will be meltier, which means the cheese pull Instagram videos will now be even more drool-worthy. And the onions will be added to the grill to give them a caramelized flavor. Now, that’s fancy.
McDonalds Changes:
And don’t worry, it’s not just the Big Mac that’s getting the upgrade. Regular hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers, and McDoubles are also getting a facelift. McDonald’s is basically giving their whole menu a makeover, and I am here for it.
But as we all know, not every change is a good change. In fact, some changes can be downright disastrous.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the 10 worst product changes made by big corporations that backfired. From New Coke to Crystal Pepsi to the infamous Gap logo redesign, we’ll take a look at the products that flopped and the lessons that big corporations learned from their mistakes.
But don’t worry, this isn’t just a list of failed products. It’s a chance to laugh at the absurdity of some of these changes and to reflect on how even the biggest companies can make colossal blunders. So sit back, relax, and prepare to cringe at the misguided attempts of some of the world’s most powerful corporations to capture our hearts and wallets.
But remember, behind every failed product is a team of hardworking people who had good intentions. We’re not here to shame anyone, but rather to learn from the mistakes of the past and to appreciate the products that have stood the test of time. So join us as we take a trip down memory lane and revisit the products that made us scratch our heads and say, “what were they thinking?”
