Social media has been buzzing with love and excitement for the limited-edition burger that has taken the UK by storm. McDonald's fans are in for a treat as the fast food chain celebrates its 50th birthday with a special menu. Along with the highly anticipated return of the iconic Double Big Mac, there are also new additions such as the Milkybar McFlurry, a birthday cake donut, and garlic bread dippers that have fans eagerly anticipating their first bite.
However, as the menu changes over, some items will be sadly removed from the current line-up. Among them are the 'unreal' burger and a sweet treat that fans have declared as the 'best ever' dessert. The Hat Trick burger, launched during the Euros 2024, was a beast of a burger with three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and ketchup, all sandwiched between a glazed sesame seed bun. It quickly became a fan favorite, with many praising its taste and urging others to try it before it's gone. It's safe to say that many will be disappointed to see it go, judging by the posts on social media.
The Hat Trick isn't the only item leaving the menu. Other items bidding farewell include the Skittles McFlurry, The Galaxy Caramel Mcflurry, Galaxy Chocolate Raspberry Pie, and Mozzarella Bites. But don't fret, as the new 50th birthday menu brings back some nostalgic favorites. Customers can indulge in the Double Big Mac, Double Big Mac with Bacon, Garlic Bread Cheesy Dippers, a Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry, Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry, and Birthday Cake Donut. The Chicken Sharebox, which includes Chicken Selects, Chicken Nuggets, and various dips, remains on the menu, along with a Chicken Selects Sharebox option.
This menu switch-up comes after McDonald's confirmed that the McPlant, their vegan option, would not be going anywhere despite being removed from menus in the US. The McPlant was initially successful, selling around 500 burgers per week during its trial period in 2021. However, when the trial was expanded in 2022, the numbers dropped significantly, leading to the decision to stop offering the vegan option across the States and focus on their better-performing meats, like chicken.
As we bid adieu to some menu items, we welcome new ones with open arms. The limited-edition 50th birthday menu has something for everyone, including the increasingly popular vegan options. The new vegan dessert, known as Scoop, comes in two delicious flavors, Choco or Strawberry, and is described as 'summer in a scoop.' Unfortunately, it will only be available in select locations as part of a trial, but if all goes well, it will be launched nationwide in 2025.
