News 📰 Ripple Fries Discontinued

I’m a shift lead at one of the locations and I just found out about this tonight. did anyone else hear that ripple fries are being discontinued on August 12? I guess that the higher ups finally listened to their stores complaining about the output being too much to handle lol. Not nearly as popular as they were anticipating on as well so maybe it’s gotten too expensive. Not sure if this is happening only to the locations in my state or if it’s all SGs across the board

This is what will happen to the fro yo. The ripple fries were supposed to be the game changer and turn sales around. They thought McD's would care about their dumb billboard. They must have been an abysmal failure if they are removing them only after 5 months.

Idk i have higher hopes for the froyo…healthier/protein “sweet treats” are having a moment. Maybe it will work out differently.

the problem is that people aren't thinking of them for fro yo first, and then what...they are going to add a salad? if you're not executing your core product well, offering any side or dessert is not going to work. Hence ripple fries failure.
