McDonald’s sent social media users into a spin last night by revealing that they would soon announce a ‘Kiwi icon’ McFlurry in partnership with Uber Eats. While guesses ranged from tomato sauce to mince and cheese pie, the answer has been revealed as the iconic Cookie Time.
"It's awesome to combine two firsts in launching the Cookie Time McFlurry," said Jo Mitchell, director of marketing at McDonald's New Zealand. "Cookie Time cookies are a Kiwi icon and we've collaborated to developed a delicious product we know McFlurry and Cookie Time fans alike will love."
The McFlurry contains crushed pieces of Cookie Time Cookie paired with McDonald’s classic soft serve ice cream and hot caramel sauce.
Andy Bowie, Uber Eats NZ country manager, said that demand for ice cream always spiked over summer, for obvious reasons.
"We see ice cream orders spike during the summer months and on hot days, as Kiwis look to beat the heat with a quick and easy delivery option, so we expect this collaboration to be well-received."
