McDonald's to scrap six popular menu items within days including a fan favourite side

This comes as McDonald's revealed it would launch a new menu to celebrate its 50th birthday.

To make way for this, snacks, McFlurry flavours and drinks will be removed from the menu.

Items being removed

The Hat Trick or Medium Meal

Mozzarella Bites with a Rich Tomato Dip

Skittles McFlurry

Galaxy Caramel McFlurry

Iced Latte Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie

These were among the limited edition menu items added in May but they will be dropped to make way for the new products.

The fast food giant has also ended its Surprize Fries promotion, where customers could win prizes when purchasing McDonald's Fries between May 29 and July 2.

Fast food fans can tuck into 15 new menu items from next week, on July 17.

McDonald's stated: "It’s time to celebrate McDonald’s style, as it celebrates its 50th birthday. Say hello to a limited-edition menu, featuring three brand new desserts and a new cheesy side. Plus, a selection of returning icons are back on the scene."

The menu will feature flavours of childhood birthdays with a Birthday Cake Donut, Milkybar® Raspberry Ripple McFlurry and Munchies® Cookie Dough McFlurry.
