McDonald’s has added a new variety of its popular McFlurry to the menu—but some customers aren’t thrilled.
The Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry recently made its debut at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide, and fans are divided on the new flavor, with some calling it “not it” and “underwhelming”, while defenders insist that it’s “so good” and begging the fast-food chain to never take it off the menu.

A Controversial Taste Of A Traditional Dessert Favorite
McDonald's website describes the Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry as a swirl of their creamy vanilla soft serve with strawberry flavored clusters and crispy, buttery shortbread cookies. The site also notes that the item will only be available for a limited time.
Other new menu items for late spring/early summer include Bic Mac Dipping Sauce (available for the first time as a separate condiment), Spicy Chicken McNuggets, a Frozen Hawaiian Punch Slushie, and a Strawberries & Cream Frappé.
It is unclear how long this limited-time McFlurry will be available to order, but it is likely to be only through early summer.
