I’m Not Lovin’ It! McDonald’s Eliminating Three Items From Menu
You may not be lovin' this! McDonald's is eliminating three breakfast items from their menu.
News first broke on Instagram when markie_devo announced the fast food restaurant was phasing out 3 bakery items that were released in 2020.
The Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin, and Cinnamon Roll will soon be a thing of the past.
The rumors are true and were confirmed by the New York Post.
“We’re always listening to our fans and adjusting our menu based on what they crave,” McDonald’s USA told The New York Post in a statement.
All three breakfast items will be phased out by July 15. Now, if they get rid of the sausage egg McMuffin or the McGriddles, we'll really have a problem. I definitely won't be lovin' that!
Last fall, McDonald's brought back their breakfast bagels for a limited time and the Oreo McFlurry just returned after more than 8 years.
