McDonald's has released a new Hot Honey McFlurry, a dessert that has prompted varied responses from consumers. The item combines the chain's standard vanilla soft serve with a drizzle of hot honey sauce. This new flavour is accessible only through the McDonald's app or its McDelivery service.
Customer Reactions to the New Flavour
The Hot Honey McFlurry has divided opinions among McDonald's patrons. Some customers have expressed uncertainty about the taste, with one individual stating on a McDonald's Reddit page that they were "in two minds about it" and found the flavour "very interesting not like anything I've had before." Others have voiced negative opinions, with one commenter describing every hot honey product they had tried as "vile." A desire for the return of the hot toffee sundae was also expressed by some customers. Conversely, some defended the new offering, noting that "honey in vanilla ice cream has been a thing forever," suggesting the new McFlurry is essentially that with added spice.
