McDonald’s told customers: “It’s time to celebrate McDonald’s-style, as it celebrates its 50th birthday. Say hello to a limited-edition menu, featuring three brand-new desserts and a new cheesy side. Plus, a selection of returning icons are back on the scene.”
Customers can look forward to a selection of treats, main events and sides and shareboxes to choose from.

A third tagged a fellow McDonald’s fan and asked: “Can we now have little trips there?” A social media user added: “Maccies every day this week.” Someone said they “can’t wait to try”.
