McDonald’s is making big changes to its menu, and a fan favorite is on the chopping block. The limited edition McGriddle is leaving the UK menu after a short run, causing quite a stir online. Here is everything you need to know about this breakfast item disappearing and why people are so upset about it.
What Exactly Is the McGriddle
The McGriddle is a classic American breakfast sandwich that finally made its way over to the UK after 23 long years of waiting. It features a savory sausage patty and a fried egg with American cheese sandwiched right between two fluffy maple flavored griddle cakes.
The Sweet and Savory Mix
A lot of people really love the fun mix of sweet and savory flavors because it offers something completely different from a normal breakfast. The griddle cakes have little granulated maple syrup crystals baked inside them, so you do not have to worry about getting sticky hands while eating.
Leaving the Menu Too Soon
McDonald’s changes their limited products every six weeks, and the next rotation means the McGriddle is packing its bags tomorrow. Fans are genuinely devastated because they feel like the sandwich is not sticking around long enough for everyone to enjoy it properly.
Better Than the Classic McMuffin
Social media is full of fans singing praises for the McGriddle, calling it top tier and saying it is much better than the old McMuffin. One Reddit user even joked that it was like an angel swooped down and dropped it off because it tastes unexpectedly delightful.
Stocking Up and Freezing Sandwiches
The panic is so real that some devoted customers are actually planning to buy a ton of McGriddles tomorrow just to freeze them at home. One person experimented and found out the sandwich defrosts quite well if you just make a fresh egg to go with it later.
A Sad Day on TikTok
Food creators on TikTok are making videos about how it is truly a very sad day for fast food lovers across the country. They are telling everyone to go try one immediately because it is the absolute best breakfast item McDonald’s has ever done.
Not Everyone Loves the Flavor
I always like to keep things balanced, so I have to mention that not every single person is completely in love with this product. Some folks find the maple flavor way too sweet for the morning, and they have even called the sandwich gross or McTerrible.
Affordable Morning Fast Food Treat
You can grab one of these for just £3.99, which makes it a pretty affordable option when you need a quick morning bite. It is greasy and filling, and it ticks all the boxes you would want from a fast food breakfast before heading to work.
Will the McGriddle Ever Return
Nothing is officially confirmed yet, but there is a really good chance we might see this delicious item return at some point in the future. The CEO of McDonald’s UK and Ireland mentioned the response was very positive, so you should keep your eyes peeled for updates.
Say Your Final Goodbyes Now
If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you really need to rush to your local McDonald’s before they are gone. It is always tough when a good thing leaves, but trying it once is better than completely missing out on the experience.
