Apparently "premium" means a clear plastic cup, and whipped cream and a cherry on top. According to Chicago Business, starting this month, McDonald's is updating their milkshakes, re-branding them as part of their McCafe line of beverages.
As part of the shift, the shakes will be served in a clear, plastic cup similar to other cold beverages in the McCafe line up. Following other major fast food chains such as Carl's Jr, Wendy's Chick-fil-A, etc., McDonald's will also now include whipped cream and a cherry on top.
If test markets are any indication, the shakes will also carry a higher price, starting at $2.19 for a small to $3.09 for a large.

It's a ripoff. You now get a medium for the price they used to charge for a large.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't even like cherries and whip cream just makes it look nicer.
ReplyDeleteI hate whipped cream with a passion! I hate how other people go all "OOO WHIPPED CREAM YUMMY!!!" at the sight of the stuff. All it does is add a ton of unnecessary fat to the top of drinks. Seriously, check out the fat content of a Starbucks frappuchino with and without the whipped cream - big difference! Bad move, McDonalds!
ReplyDeletehad this... hate it. :(
ReplyDeleteTheir shakes are awful. If it isn't made with real ice cream right when I order it, I am not interested! They should take a cue from Zaxbys. Their new shakes are great.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat Tim said.
ReplyDeleteI always order my McDonald's shakes "plain".
Yeah but prices went up a little with the change, so you're paying for the whipped cream and cherry regardless.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteBut my complaint isn't really about the change in price (although yeah, it does suck); it's just that I don't *like* whipped cream.
Fortunately you can still order the shakes without it.
