From The Club

I’m definitely lovin’ this new menu item from McDonald’s. Although I haven’t tried them yet, these sound like an awesome idea. Churros and Masala flavors are pretty unique and I never thought I would see them as flavors for fries. It just goes to show you that sometimes you gotta think outside the box to make something truly special. Here’s hoping Churros and Masala McShakers would do well enough that McDonald’s would decide to bring them over to the United States.
