McDonald’s has launched two new versions of its McShaker fries – and fans say they are ‘life-changing’.
One has a spicy masala flavor and the other a sweet churro flavor.
Customers receive a bag of fries and then sprinkle the herbs over it like salt – and then shake the bag well.
But to top it all off for fans in the US, the new fries are only available in Canada.
The newly revealed flavors were shared on Instagram by food blog Snackolator on Tuesday, May 28.
McDonald’s two new McShaker fries are described as ‘life-changing’
McDonald’s McShaker fries are available in both Churros and Masala flavors, but only in Canada
He wrote: “McDonald’s just released TWO new flavors of McShaker fries… but in Canada!
“If you’ve never seen these before, McDonalds sells these in many countries and they come in a bag that you can throw the seasoning into and ‘shake’ the bag to coat your fries with a new flavor seasoning.”
American fans expressed their frustration in the comments.
One said: ‘Why does Canada get all this nice stuff?’
Another wrote: Why can’t you be more creative in the US like in other countries?
“Literally every other McDonald’s outside the US is better.”
But an American explained why they wouldn’t be in American restaurants.
‘We had these in America for a while, but they didn’t catch on.’ They wrote. ‘So fast that I never tried them.
Meanwhile, a fan who tasted them wrote: ‘Had them both, don’t like the churro….
‘BUTTTT if you put it on a caramel sundae, it changes your life’
American McDonald’s fans have one special item this summer: the Grandma McFlurry, which costs about $4.50.
It contains vanilla soft serve mixed with chopped candies – and topped with a syrup.
McDonald’s is offering the ‘Grandma McFlurry’ for a limited time starting May 21
The flavor has been compared to butterscotch, much like Werther’s Original, a candy that many Americans associate with grandparents.
Fast food restaurants have seen a drop in customer numbers – after two years of price hikes since the pandemic. To get them back, they launch deals.
McDonald’s is planning a $5 meal bundle starting June 25. Customers will get a total of four items: a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, small soda and four McNuggets.
Burger King has a similar $5 deal, while Wendy’s has launched a $3 breakfast meal – as a fast food price war appears to be escalating.
