McDonald\u2019s 50th anniversary birthday menu: Everything you need to know McDonald’sMcDonald\u2019s is celebrating it\u2019s 50th birthday this July, and to celebrate, it\u2019s bringing back three iconic burgers, launching three new desserts, and adding a new cheesy item to the menu. You might be thinking that McDonald\u2019s has been around in the United States for more than 50 years, and you\u2019d be right, seeing as McDonald\u2019s opened in the US in 1940. That\u2019s why you might need to catch a flight if you want to try out this big menu shake-up, as the items are only available in the UK, where McDonald\u2019s opened in 1974. What\u2019s on the McDonald\u2019s birthday menu? Customers can expect the return of the Double Big Mac, a towering burger with a whopping four meat patties and all the other goodness that you\u2019d expect from a Big Mac, this can also be ordered with bacon if you\u2019re in the mood to induce some meat sweats. Both variations of the classic Big Mac were available for a short time in 2020, but now you can get your hands on them again. As well as the Big Macs, customers will be able to order the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse, which is made of chicken breast fillet in a crispy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a sourdough style sesame topped bun. This menu item was discontinued in October 2023, much to the dismay of McDonald\u2019s fans across the UK. There is also an all-new snack item, the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers are a twist on the classic mozzarella dippers and can be ordered as a side or sharebox of 20. Room for dessert? The fast food chain is getting rid of several of its popular dessert items, including the Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry, to make room for the new birthday themed additions. Up for grabs will be a Birthday Cake Donut, a Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry (white chocolate and raspberry swirl), and a Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry (chocolate, biscuit pieces, and cookie dough). When will McDonald\u2019s 50th birthday menu launch in UK? The menu is set to launch on July 17. However, McDonald\u2019s has not specified how long this menu will be available. This menu launch could be around for a while though, as McDonald\u2019s big promotion after summer is usually McDonald\u2019s Monopoly, where customers get peel-off stickers on their food that allow them to win prizes and free menu items. This year, McDonald\u2019s Monopoly is said to launch on September 4. Fast food fans are excited to celebrate McDonald\u2019s birthday, with one person saying: \u201cThese desserts are sending me into orbit, I need them.\u201d Another added: \u201cLooking forward to trying the birthday cake doughnut, Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry and cheesy garlic bread dippers. But, they need to bring back Chicken Legend.\u201d If you\u2019re in the US you don\u2019t have to miss out on the celebrations, because McDonald\u2019s is giving away free fries every Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
