‘Stay permanent’ cry fans as McDonald’s set to axe ‘game changer’ favourite next week in big menu shake up
MCDONALD’S fans have called for a “game changer” menu item set for the chop to be made permanent.
The home of the Big Mac is shaking up its menu next week with eight items to be added to its offering.
Fans will be able to pick up a new burger, Skittles McFlurry and returning iced latte.
But with eight items on their way it means some have to come off, and one facing the chop has got fans vexed.
Twelve items in total are coming off menus, but it’s the Biscoff McFlurry being dropped that’s really disgruntled foodies.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, one said: “Can’t you just keep the Lotus Biscoff Mcflurry permanently? That’s all I ask!”
Meanwhile, a second added: “Please can these stay as a permanent McFlurry I absolutely love them!”
Others will undoubtedly be gutted the McFlurry is disappearing from menus, with the item fast becoming a fan favourite.
One customer recently branded the flavour an “absolute game changer” while another said it was “top tier”.
It comes as seven other menu items are set to be axed from menus on May 28.
The Galaxy Caramel Pie, Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry, Chicken Big Mac and Cheese and Herb Melts Sharebox are all going to be dropped.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Caramel Pie and Quarter Pounder Deluxe are set to be discontinued.
This is the full list of items being dropped next week:
- Biscoff McFlurry – £1.99
- Biscoff McFlurry mini – £1.59
- Galaxy Caramel Pie – £1.99
- Biscoff Frappe – £2.99
- Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry – £1.99
- Galaxy Chocolate Mini McFlurry – £1.59
- Quarter Pounder Deluxe – £4.89
- Quarter Deluxe Medium Meal – £6.59
- Chicken Big Mac – £4.69
- Chicken Big Mac Meal – £6.49
- Cheese & Herb Melts – £2.89
- Cheese & Herb Melts Sharebox – £7.09
But, of course, with items coming off, it means there are items being added as well.
McDonald’s regularly updates its menu to keep customers on their toes, and eight items are on their way.
A new burger will be added to menus on May 29 – the Hat Trick.
The burger holds three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard and ketchup encased in a glazed sesame bun.
It will be available to buy in McDonald’s restaurants for £5.89 as a single item and £7.69 as part of a medium meal with drink and a side.
Seven other items are being added to menus as well, including fan favourite mozzarella bites.

How to save money at McDonald’s
You might not think it, but you can end up being charged more solely based on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
Meanwhile, you can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 by filling in a feedback survey found on any old McDonald’s receipt.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You’ll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
Make sure you check out all the various apps and platforms if you’re ordering McDonald’s to your home too.
Our research found some can charge up to £1.20 more than others.
