McDonald's announces exciting new McFlurry flavor… but only for a limited time
McDonald's has revealed an exciting new McFlurry flavor but fans will need to act fast.
The fast food giant rolled out the Hershey's S'mores McFlurry nationwide on June 10, just in time for summer.
The limited-edition dessert is made with McDonald's classic vanilla soft serve, blended with Hershey's milk chocolate, graham cracker crumbles, and marshmallow pieces.
'Whether you're looking to grab a sweet snack before lounging around the campfire or looking to satisfy your summer craving, the Hershey's S'mores McFlurry will be your go-to summer dessert,' the company added.
But while it's already generating plenty of buzz, it won't be sticking around forever. McDonald's hasn't set an exact end date — so once it's gone, it's gone.
'I cannot wait to try it!!!' one fan wrote on Reddit in anticipation.
'I added fudge topping to it, its brings out the chocolate more!' another advised.
However, others said they were left disappointed by the dehydrated marshmallows and new paper packaging that quickly became soggy.
'The paper cups are horrible though and so messy,' one consumer complained.
'It's like they went to Walmart to find the worst dried marshmallows from generic cereal,' another added.
Last summer McDonald's delighted fans by reintroducing the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry for the summer.
The frozen dessert was also made with vanilla soft-serve ice-cream but blended with bits of Kit Kat candy bars and 'real banana, strawberry clusters.'
The Golden Arches also recently introduced a Birthday Cake McFlurry to celebrate the dessert's 30th anniversary.
However, American fans were left furious when they realized it would be available in Canada but not in the US.
'I knew the second I saw this it wasn't in America,' an Instagram user wrote in disdain.
The move is a nod towards the fact that the McFlurry was actually invented by Canadian franchisee Ron McLellan in 1995.
Customers were furious to learn that Birthday Cake McFlurry is only available in Canada
McDonald's is working to bounce back from recent sales dives
Like the Birthday Cake McFlurry, the chain's new Creme-Egg McFlurry and Apple Shake are not available in the US.
Canada also offers Skor and Smarties McFlurries at all McDonald's restaurants.
While the McFlurry has grown to become a talked-about desert at the fast food empire, it hasn't diminished the anticipation over the return of snack wraps.
McDonald's has been busy working on bouncing back from slumping sales, which includes a 3.6 percent drop in the first quarter of the year.
