McDonald’s Drops a New McFlurry Inspired by Grandmas: ‘Tastes Like a Trip Down Memory Lane’

McDonald’s took inspiration from an unusual person when it came up with its latest McFlurry flavor.

On May 16th, fast food fans discovered the Grandma McFlurry: a sweet new flavor arriving for fans on May 21st.

The limited-time treat combines “delicious syrup” and crunchy candy pieces — “just like grandma’s favorite treat she hid in her purse!” — with vanilla soft serve, according to the release. All in all, the dessert is meant to be “sweet – just like grandma”.

McDonald’s director of marketing and customer experience Tariq Hassan said the new frozen dessert came about because grandmothers “have a huge influence on culture” whether in the world of fashion, decor or food.

“The Grandma McFlurry tastes like a trip down memory lane, and we’re excited to give our fans that experience while honoring the figure of grandma in all of our lives,” he said in a post.

In addition to adding the Grandma McFlurry to menus across the country, McDonald’s is honoring grandparents by donating to Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, a nonprofit organization that provides companionship to the elderly.

Last year, the home of Big Mac introduced several McFlurry flavors to customers. Fans enjoyed the Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry in April 2023 and the Peanut Butter Crisp McFlurry in August 2023, but both were only on the menu for a limited time.

McDonald’s recently added another twist to a classic menu item.
