Bring Back the McFlurry
This is something I feel very strongly about and I was prompted to voice my opinions after viewing an old picture taken with self and McFlurry back in 2002.The McFlurry was more than just a desert, it was something a lot of people could relate to. I really think it would be beneficial for McDonalds to bring it back, the power they have in the brand is too good to pass up.
Here's the official word from McDonald's NZ
“Thank you for your interest in McDonald's New Zealand and particularly the McFlurry!
In answer to your question I can confirm that the McFlurry was taken off the New Zealand menu in 2003 due to a variety of reasons - the main reasons being low seasonal sales as well high operational demands. The McFlurry didn't sell well during winter, compared with our other desserts like Sundaes, and given the number of extra ingredients and the challenging operations involved it was taken off the menu.
We're excited about the level of passion regarding the McFlurry and bringing it back as a promotional product is on our radar. Our marketing plans work a year in advance so it won't be in the near future, but it is something we're considering.”
Do you want McDonalds to bring back the McFlurry?

I was stoked to find that they still have these in America when I went there earlier this year. I got the m&ms of course.

Yeah the McFlurrys rocked. I had them in Canada a few years before they came to New Zealand. Was so excited to see them here, but now they gone. I considered moving to Canada, just for the McFlurrys :)

That's a really good response from McDonalds, I'm impressed.
I too miss the McFlurry. Damned addictive things they were!

They've still got them in Australia. I'm not a big fan of ice-cream but I get my McFlurry hit whenever I head over there (Oreo's with a shot of caramel)

Hell yes. I NEEDED a McFlurry yesterday. Would have killed for one intact.
I suspect being pregnant actually to blame. Normally I wouldn't touch the disgusting mix of milk powder and chicken fat that make up softserve icecream.
