Maccas just threw my moral compass out the fucking window. They’ve reduced the price of the cult McFlurry from $5 to $2.
Every single day I have to spend at least half an hour psyching myself out of conceding to the coquettish call of McDonald’s fries. Something about the smell of those slutty little potato slithers hitting that deep vat of oil cuts through all my learnt principles. News that Maccas will now be flogging McFlurry’s the perfect hot chip dipping sauce, for $2 is quite frankly, the final nail in the coffin.
The deal will run until May 13th, and will span the Mini M&Ms, Oreo Cookies and Cadbury Flake McFlurry flavours. In order to combat this, I will be elevating my self-isolation to full-on quarantine. Thankfully this deal is only available in-store and not through delivery apps. I don’t want to wake up from an SSRI induced sleepy haze to find one hand in an empty filet-o-fish box and lashings of MNM dye staining my face like a fucking Jackson Pollock painting.
In other news, last month McDonald’s announced that they would be stocking essentials like eggs, milk and bread amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Which kind of never made sense to me because who on gods green earth was stocking up on those extremely perishable goods.
“We’re pleased to be able to continue to expand this offering to help the community safely access essential items like milk, bread and eggs, as well as their usual Maccas favourites,” said a spokesman at the time.
