There are plenty of new menu items swirling around at the mega chain this summer. In May, the brand introduced the new and now-popular Grandma McFlurry. The limited-time treat combines a “delicious syrup” and crunchy candy pieces — “like grandma's favorite treat that she hid in her purse!” — with vanilla soft serve, according to a release. All in all, the dessert is meant to be “sweet — just like grandma,” per a release. McDonald’s Is Bringing Back the Double Big Mac That Has a Whopping 4 Patties McDonald’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer Tariq Hassan said that the new frozen dessert came about since grandmas are "having a major moment influencing culture" be it in the fashion, decor or food worlds. “The Grandma McFlurry tastes like a trip down memory lane, and we’re excited to give our fans that experience while honoring the grandma-figure in all our lives," he said in the release. Last year, the home of the Big Mac introduced several McFlurry flavors to customers. Fans indulged in the strawberry shortcake McFlurry in April 2023 and the peanut butter crunch McFlurry in August 2023, but both were only on the menu for a limited time.
