SHAKE IT UP

McDonald’s is axing three items from menus in HOURS including rare favourite

One of the drinks set to go was inspired by the McDonald's mascot

MCDONALD'S is binning off three major menu staples - including a limited edition American favourite.

The fast-food chain is shaking up its offerings as of February 12.

First to go is The BBQ Ranch Stack, which has only been available since January this year.

Made from two beef patties, topped with Emmental cheese, lettuce, bacon, crispy onions, creamy ranch and sweet BBQ sauce.

Joining the cull is the Milky Way McFlurry - a pot of creamy dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars, crunchy malt pieces and drizzled with chocolate sauce.

The third to be taken off the menu is the unusual Grimace Shake.

The purple drink is made with creamy vanilla milkshake with blueberry syrup.

The name was inspired by McDonald's Grimace mascot, which was first introduced in the 1970s, the shake debuted in the US during the summer of 2023.

The character was originally an evil character who stole milkshakes from customers but was later rebranded as a more friendly face of the fast-food chain.

The flavour originally debuted on UK menus in 2023 and made a return for Christmas 2024.

McDonald's already has three core milkshake flavours, Strawberry, Banana and Chocolate, which will continue to be available.

However, fans won't have to wait long before a new shake hits menus.

The fast food chain is launching the Shamrock Shake in restaurants for the first time from next month.

Foodies will only be able to pick up the Irish-themed drink from March 12 until March 25.

In place of the BBQ Ranch Stack is the Philly Cheese Stack - which first hit UK chains in October 2023.

The double beef burger with cheese sauce, cheese slices, grilled onions and pickles was revived in September 2023.

But now it's back for customers to chow down on.

McDonald's is also bringing out a Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie and Mars McFlurry for the sweet-toothed.

The fruit and chocolate pastry first launched early last year, is also on menus until May 6, for £1.99.

The Valentine's Day treat is filled with a smooth white chocolate ganache and raspberry compote.
