McDonald’s U.K. said it would take down five food items so it could add a new burger to the menu. The U.K. unit of the fast-food chain is set to remove the items this week.
With the decision, diners and fans of McDonald’s will have to say goodbye to some favorites, such as the Mozzarella Dippers. They are being taken off the menu to make way for new burger additions, including other food items.
Chronicle Live reported that McDonald’s frequently announces changes to its menu, and in this case, in order for the new food to be introduced, the company needs to eliminate some existing items on the menu board. Likewise, while the reveal of new food is always exciting, the sad part is that the burger joint must move some of its menus out of the way.
The fast food giant said that the new burger and some other food items are arriving on Wednesday, Mat 10. This means that by this time, the five menu items would be gone already.
McDonald’s will introduce the new Spicy Big Tasty burger and seven other new items in the United Kingdom this week. As these are added to the menu, the chain’s Chicken Big Mac, Mozzarella Dippers, Steakhouse Stack, Cadbury Caramel McFlurry, and Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry are all leaving the stores in the U.K. and Ireland.
As their replacements, aside from the Spicy Big Tasty Burger, U.K.’s Mirror reported that McDonald’s will launch the Wispa McFlurry and Wispa Gold Mcflurry with the rich Cadbury caramel sauce. The other food items include chicken nuggets with new limited-edition dips like the Garlic Mayo flavor. On May 31, new dip flavors - Chipotle Mayo dip and Creamy Ranch - are set to be added for the chicken nuggets.
The favorite Halloumi Fries will also be added to the menu again. In any case, the Spicy Big Tasty Burger was described to be the “fiery” version of the classic Big Tasty Burger. It is made with a 100% beef patty topped with lettuce, bacon, Emmental cheese, tomato, and a special Big Tasty sauce with jalapenos.
