A new McFlurry is coming to town
Creamy vanilla soft serve with bits of buttery shortbread cookies and strawberry-flavored chunks — this new McFlurry makes a popular springtime dessert a little cooler.
The Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry comes to McDonald’s on Wednesday and is a new flavor for U.S. customers. According to Food & Wine, a similar flavor with Oreos is sold in Singapore, but this is the first time this flavor will hit the U.S.
This McFlurry is only available for a limited amount of time. The McDonald’s website said to order it off of the McDonald’s app since there’s a limited supply at participating restaurants. It will be on the Sweets and Treats menu on Wednesday.

Why are McDonald’s ice cream machines always broken?
Have you ever been in the drive-thru and ordered an ice cream treat only to hear their machines are broken? Well even if you haven’t, you may have heard about it. It’s become something of an urban legend, but the machines aren’t always broken.
There’s even a website called McBroken, which lists which machines are supposedly broken and where they are, according to All Recipes. The chain has even made fun of themselves for the broken ice cream machines.
we have a joke about our soft serve machine but we're worried it won't work

One of the reasons the machine may be down at your particular McDonald’s is the long cleaning process these machines go through. It takes around four hours to clean through a self-cleaning process, per All Recipes. There’s also been some reports of error messages on the machines that employees can’t resolve. In 2021, the Federal Trade Commission began looking into these ice cream machines, so it’s possible there will be a fix in the future.
