Scam alert!

The weather is so hot today! I went out to buy something. On the way home, I pass by the Mac Donalds at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Unable to stand the heat, I took my wallet out and wanted to buy myself something cold. I saw the new flavors advertisement for Mcflurry (mudpie and berry and cookie flavor) and thought I might have a try. Though it is more expensive as compared to a normal Mcflurry or a sundae, I felt adventurous that moment and ordered a berry and cookie flavor.

When cup is passed to me, I already felt very disappointed just by looking at it. I thought they would have used strawberry ice cream as the base and blend it with the cookies bits. But it seems like they only used the normal vanilla ice cream and added the cookie bits and strawberry sauce to blend. I will not comment anything on the taste but leave it for your imagination on how tasty can such a mess be.

Anyway, the first impression that the new Mcflurry gave me is it is an idea from a very bored staff manning the desert counter. Out of boredom, he took everything he had in the counter and mix them into a cup and showed it to his manager to gain credit. It really makes me wonder if Mac Donald has any quality control when they push out new products.

I really regretted buying that cup and felt like I am being scammed. It is the most expensive item in the desert counter yet it is the most disappointing. No more Mac Donald deserts for me.

PS: The deserts advertisements that I see on the MTV channel of fast food in Taiwan (such as KFC) are always so appealing. Why is Singapore’s standard so far from them.
