McDonald's fans have one major complaint about 'delicious' new McFlurry flavour

Not quite the fireside classic you might expect.

McDonald’s regularly refreshes its menu, giving you plenty of choice if you want to mix up your usual order.

The likes of the McNugget, Big Mac, Quarter Pounder and the Hot Apple Pie are the first names on the team sheet, while some of its other mainstays like the Happy Meal and McFlurry get seasonal refreshes whilst keeping the core concept the same.

Its menus differ in different countries, too, with regional tastes factored into the new kids on the block. One of those, released in restaurants on June 10th 2025, is the US’s new Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry.

Described as ‘delicious’ by Ronald and pals, the new McFlurry flavour combines the vanilla soft serve based with a blend of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows – a great sweet treat to ward off the summer sweats.

“Whether you’re looking to grab a sweet snack before lounging around the campfire or looking to satisfy your summer craving, the Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry will be your go-to summer dessert,” McDonald’s said in a press release.

“So go ahead, treat yourself and your friend to the dessert of the season starting June 10 for a limited time only at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.”

Tasty as it sounds, fans who rushed to their local Maccies in the US have shared a similar criticism: the quality of the marshmallows.

“I tried it, and it tasted fine. It uses those dehydrated Lucky Charms-style marshmallows though, which threw off the texture for me,” said one social media user.

“Damn they can’t afford real marshmallows?” said another. “Those things barely rot.”


Another chimed: “It’s like they went to Walmart to find the worst dried marshmallows from generic cereal and said f**k let’s do even worse.”

Some reckon the collaboration itself is cause for complaint: “Hershey’s isn’t the brag it used to be.”

The new paper cups used for McFlurries have also drawn some criticism.

“Had it the other day and thought it was ok, the paper cups are horrible though and so messy,” said one Redditor.

“I hate the new paper cup things the McFlurries come in now,” bemoaned another.

Some cheerier feedback and hype was in the mix, too, of course.

“Now that’s something I’d like to try,” said one Reddit user.

“I had one yesterday and thought it was pretty good!” said another.

Another hoped it might hearken back to an old favourite: “Does anyone remember the Smores chocolate bar Hersheys made? It was one of their best.”
