Your Grandma Now Has A McFlurry At McDonald’s

You just can’t go to McDonald’s without getting one of the classic McFlurry’s. Nothing beats the mixture of soft serve ice cream and mixed ingredients, topped with some sort of extra sweet syrup. And now, McDonald’s is combining two of the world’s favorite things — McFlurry’s and grandmas.

What is the Grandma McFlurry?

The name can be misleading. The grandma McFlurry blends the classic vanilla soft serve ice cream with chopped up candy pieces and sweet syrup. The candy is supposed to mimic the hard, crunchy candy that all grandmas seem to keep in their purses. Think of the Werther’s Butterscotch that universally all grandmas carry around.

It’s meant to resemble a treat your grandma would give you as a kid, giving it the taste of “a trip down memory lane,” according to Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. It’s a great (and delicious) way to honor grandmas everywhere.

When can I get the Grandma McFlurry?

It’s coming to McDonald’s stores on May 21 and will be available for a limited time only, so get your hands on it ASAP.
