Fans are disappointed over discontinued popular McDonald's menu item - and customers are calling for

Posted by Fernande Dalal on Sunday, June 23, 2024

MCDONALD’S eaters have been left disappointed once again as their favorite breakfast was discontinued.

The Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait was a healthier alternative to the standard greasy menu items most McDonald's fans look for.

Served all day, the parfait came with low-fat yogurt, sliced strawberries and blueberries, and crunchy granola.

Popular Twitter account Discontinued Foods! posted a photo of the discontinued menu item stating it was available from 1999 to 2020.

The Twitter account also mentioned that the parfait was given the axe during the pandemic when fast food joints were phasing out menu items where they could - however, The U.S. Sun could not confirm.

Initially offered on the McDonald's $1 menu, prices rose as high as $1.19 before being removed from menus, according to So Loyal.

Though it’s been nearly three years, fans are still distraught over the discontinued item.

One Twitter user wrote: “I want salads. I loved the Asian salad. My McDonald's doesn't have ice cream or salads. Bring back the yogurt parfait! Best yogurt ever.”

Another wrote: “What do u mean the parfait from McDonald’s is discontinued?!?!?”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to McDonald's for comment.

OTHER DISCONTINUED ITEMS

Another popular item fans said sayonara to was the Mushroom Swiss Burger, part of the Signature Crafted Recipes line.

The burger came with a quarter-pound fresh-beef patty, seasoned mushrooms, creamy bistro aioli, Swiss cheese, and crispy onion strings on a toasted artisan roll.

The chain axed the item as it was moving away from craft burger options and focusing on the traditional Quarter Pounder.

Plus, the McDonald's Snack Wrap was another item that played tug of war with the chain as it was on and off menus multiple times.

However, it didn't perform well enough to make it to the permanent menu.

Before being discontinued back in 2016, the wrap included chicken, shredded lettuce, and cheese, all housed in a warm tortilla.

Sadly, the company decided it was too complex, and decided to give it the boot.

The massive burger chain will be making small adjustments to many of its most popular items.

Burgers like the Big Mac, the McDouble, the classic Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, and Hamburger will all see some minor flavor tweaks.

While the improvements may be tiny, they are slated to pack a punch.

The changes include softer but toastier buns, meltier cheese, and white onions offering a juicier, caramelized flavor to the patties.

Plus, fast foodies will also see more of the beloved Big Mac sauce in every Big Mac bite. 

The changes will be making their way through the US this year starting in some West Coast stores already.

Cities include Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Boise, Tucson, and surrounding cities.

However, customers should be tasting the difference at all restaurants nationwide by 2024.
