McDonald's customers left divided over new menu item as some say it's ‘vile' but others ‘absolutely love' it
We reveal what other new menu items launched this week below HAPPY OR NOT? McDonald's customers left divided over new menu item as some say it's 'vile' but others 'absolutely love' it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MCDONALD'S customers have been left divided over a new item - with some branding it "vile" while others "absolutely love" it. The fast food giant has yet again shaken up its menu, adding a host of fresh options and bringing back some fan favourites. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 McDonald's' new Sprite Zero with Green Apple Syrup has left customers divided But it is one of the new items, Sprite Zero with Green Apple Syrup, that has garnered the most attention - and opinions are majorly split. Some are big fans and can't wait to give it another try. One, posting on X, said: "Just had the green apple sprite I loved it it tasted like apple sours." Meanwhile, a second piped up: "The green drink was my fav thing." A third added: "Absolutely love this one, sour taste." However, others have been quick to show their disapproval, with one branding it "vile". Another commented: "Sprite Green Apple not great." A third added: "The new drinks are disappointing, tasted like soda water with a hint of flavour." Customers looking to buy the new Apple Sprite flavour can get a medium-sized cup for £2.19. But you'll have to be quick as the drink is only on menus for the next six weeks. Axed McDonald's Breakfast Wrap What else is new on menus? McDonald's customers can now tuck into a never-before-seen Jaffa Cake McFlurry, with a regular tub costing £2.49. The flavour, inspired by the beloved British treat, combines dairy ice cream swirled with chocolate-covered shortcake pieces and topped with orange sauce and comes in at 331 calories. Customers can also pick up a cup of Sprite Zero with a pump of Mango & Passionfruit flavourings. The Mango and Passionfruit flavour costs £2.19, the same as the Apple flavour. Customers can opt out of either of the two syrup flavourings and pay £1.79 for a plain medium Sprite Zero. Spicy Chicken McNuggets have also made a welcome return, after first launching in 2019. A six-pack will set you back £4.89 and contain 254 calories. Elsewhere, the Fajita Chicken Big Flavour Wrap will also return to menus, alongside Chilli Cheese Bites. The new flavour will replace the Katsu Chicken wrap. You can check out the full list of menu items that have arrived in restaurants below: Sprite Zero with syrup - £2.19 (Medium) , six calories (Green Apple flavour) or five calories (Mango & Passionfruit flavour) , six calories (Green Apple flavour) or five calories (Mango & Passionfruit flavour) Jaffa Cakes McFlurry - £2.49, 331 calories - £2.49, 331 calories Chicken Big Mac - £5.19, 531 calories - £5.19, 531 calories Chilli Cheese Bites - £2.69, 936 calories - £2.69, 936 calories Steakhouse Stack - £6.49, 632 calories - £6.49, 632 calories Big Tasty - £7.19, 802 calories - £7.19, 802 calories Big Tasty with Bacon - £8.09, 849 calories - £8.09, 849 calories 6 Spicy Chicken McNuggets - £4.89, 254 calories - £4.89, 254 calories Big Arch - £7.99, 1,057 calories - £7.99, 1,057 calories The Fajita Chicken One - £3.69, 362 calories (grilled) or 490 calories (crispy) - £3.69, 362 calories (grilled) or 490 calories (crispy) Milky Way McFlurry - £2.49, 350 calories What goes on must come off though and the new menu items have replaced a number of others. The Cheesy McCrispy, Halloumi Fries, Katsu Wraps and Toffee Crisp McFlurry have all now vanished from menus. But, this is not uncommon at McDonald's as it regularly freshens up its menu. The Sun asked McDonald's to comment. How to save at McDonald's You could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose. Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other. You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts. The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey. You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer. There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald's app, so it's worth signing up to get money off your meals. The MyMcDonald's app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up. You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you're a My McDonald's app user. The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details - otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
