McDonald's Australia's New Summer Menu: A Tropical Delight

McDonald's Australia has unveiled its highly anticipated summer menu, bringing a wave of tropical flavors and exciting collaborations to delight Aussie customers. The new menu boasts three new Hawaiian-inspired burgers, two delectable desserts, and the return of beloved classics, promising a summer of satisfying Macca's experiences.

The Hawaiian Trio: Burgers fit for Paradise

This summer, McDonald's is taking you on a virtual trip to Hawaii with its new range of Hawaiian burgers. For pineapple enthusiasts, this is a must-try menu addition. The menu includes three unique variations: the Hawaiian BBQ Deluxe, the Hawaiian McCrispy, and the Hawaiian McSpicy. Each burger features a juicy 100% Aussie beef patty or crispy chicken, topped with a generous slice of pineapple, offering a sweet and savory combination that perfectly embodies the spirit of the tropics. The Hawaiian BBQ Deluxe adds bacon, fresh vegetables, Jack cheese, and smoky BBQ sauce, offering a satisfyingly rich flavor profile. The Hawaiian McCrispy and Hawaiian McSpicy variations cater to different tastes, each offering a unique twist on the iconic Macca's experience. These burgers showcase the perfect balance of sweet and savory, tropical and familiar, making them the ultimate summer treat.

Beyond Burgers: Exploring the New Dessert Delights

But the excitement doesn't stop at burgers. McDonald's has also introduced two new desserts that capture the essence of summer. For those seeking a refreshingly fruity treat, the Pineapple Sundae makes a triumphant return, boasting the choice of vanilla or chocolate soft serve, covered in sweet pineapple sauce and chunks. This classic dessert is a quintessential summer refresher.

The most anticipated addition is undoubtedly [The Cadbury Cherry Ripe McFlurry, a world-first collaboration](https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/eat/mcdonalds-australia-releases-a-world-first-collaboration/news-story/d31c95e8cac60d015e0fca78034762ed). This innovative dessert combines the iconic Australian chocolate bar with creamy soft serve, topped with dark chocolate flakes and drizzled in rich cherry sauce. A truly delightful treat that celebrates the unique combination of textures and flavours.

Returning Favorites: Cheesy Jalapeno Pops and More

Alongside the new additions, some returning favorites are back by popular demand. The Cheesy Jalapeno Pops, loved for their spicy-cheesy goodness, are once again available to satisfy those cravings. The returning Pineapple Sundae, available in either vanilla or chocolate soft serve, also offers a taste of nostalgia for those seeking a familiar summer indulgence. And for those who wish to quench their thirst with a unique twist, the limited edition Frozen Coke OREO Zero Sugar is available at select locations. This surprising new combination of fizzy cola and cookie flavour is certainly a 'must try' at least once, according to food critics.

Macca's Loose Change Menu: Affordability Meets Deliciousness

In other news from McDonald’s Australia, the fast-food giant has also launched its new 'Loose Change Menu', offering a range of popular items at incredibly affordable prices. This menu promises to keep your tastebuds happy without emptying your wallet. The low-priced items will be available every day including weekends. From 4am to 11:30am, customers can enjoy a Sausage McMuffin for just $4 or a Ham & Cheese Pocket for $2.50. From 10am until midnight, a variety of treats are available, including soft serve cones for only 50 cents, small frozen drinks for $1, and apple pies for just $2. Hamburgers and chicken burgers are also available at affordable prices, and the ever-popular McPops are available all day for $2. The 'Loose Change Menu' is a testament to McDonald's commitment to offering delicious and affordable meals for everyone. According to McDonald's Australia marketing manager Tobi Fukushima, the menu aims to provide 'more deals and even more ways to save on your favourites every day'. The introduction of this menu is an attempt to counter previous negative customer feedback regarding rising prices and the company's definition of 'loose change' which customers deemed inaccurate.

Summertime Vibes, All Day Long

McDonald's Australia's summer menu offers a tempting array of options for every taste and budget. Whether it's the sweet and savory Hawaiian burgers, the innovative Cadbury Cherry Ripe McFlurry, or the affordable delights of the Loose Change Menu, this summer's menu has something for everyone. The new menu items are in stores from November 27 and will feature on the all-day menu, ensuring that those tropical summertime vibes are available anytime. Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director for McDonald's Australia, perfectly summarizes this sentiment, saying, 'Whether you're a Cherry Ripe fan or love a little pineapple on your burger, we're ready to serve up the tropical summertime vibes with our brand new summer menu, no matter the time of day. If it's a post-swim Soft Serve, cheeky late-night Hawaiian BBQ Deluxe or a road trip Drive-Thru, we're here for it all and usually right around the corner.'
