Are the new McDonald’s drinks actually worth the hype?

McDonald’s has been a household name for years, whether you think it tastes good or bad. 

Recently, they released six new drinks: Sprite Berry Blast, Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, Dirty Dr. Pepper, Mango Pineapple Refresher, Blackberry Passionfruit Refresher, and Orange Dream. As well as a new burger, the Big Arch. 

Some students have been more inclined to get new menu items with their recent promotions on social media. 

Senior Gabe Shaffer said, “The changes McDonald’s is making are good. It’s making me want to go more often to try new things and it tastes better.”

Some people like how the drinks taste and would compare them to other drink places. 

“The Sprite Berry Blast tasted very similar to 7 Brew the Blue Raspberry 7fizz,” said Lainey Andruchowitz, freshman. “I would definitely get it again… It’s a shorter distance away and less money than 7 Brew is.”

Other people say the drinks taste spot on to the drink descriptions.

“I tried the Strawberry Watermelon refresher… it tasted a lot like a sour patch kid, so if that’s what you like, I would recommend it,” said Skylar White, freshman. 

McDonald’s has been around for a long time, but with these new menu upgrades, their reputation for being fake might turn around.
