McDonald's expands menu with new burger to its menu; What it is, price and where you can get
McDonald's is adding the Daily Double burger to its menu, part of a new value meal deal launching July 22.
McDonald's has expanded its value meal package by introducing a new burger to its nationwide menu.
McDonald's stated on its website that it is "moving up to the big leagues" after launching the Daily Double in Chicago, Miami, and Seattle.
American cheese, two beef patties, shredded lettuce, sliced onions, tomato, and mayonnaise are all included in the Daily Double, which will appear on McDonald’s McValue Meal Deal bundle menu on July 22.
Starting at $5, the Meal Deal bundle comes with a 4-piece chicken McNugget, small fries, a small soft drink, and a selection of sandwiches. At the moment, there are two sandwich options: a McDouble and a McChicken.
“You're getting more, for less” when you choose the Daily Double option in the Meal Deal bundle, according to McDonald's.
Boycott against McDonald's
The burger was launched when a grassroots campaign organization, the People's Union USA, planned a week-long boycott of McDonald's.
The boycott, which took place from June 24 to 30, was announced on Instagram by the group, which accused the restaurant chain of overcharging customers and other business misconduct.
McDonald's strongly refutes claims of price gouging. In May, McDonald's USA president Joe Erlinger stated in an open letter that franchisees determine the menu prices for their eateries.
“In doing so, they work hard to minimize the impact of price increases on our fans,” the president said.
In the past, the People's Union USA has advocated for boycotts of General Mills, Nestlé, Walmart, and Amazon.
McDonald's launches new two treats for customers
Last month, McDonald's introduced two new ice cream treats, including Hershey's S'mores McFlurry.
Hershey's milk chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, and vanilla soft serve are the ingredients that are used in making the McFlurry.
According to McDonald's website, “Whether you’re looking to grab a sweet snack before lounging around the campfire or looking to satisfy your summer craving, the HERSHEY’S S’mores McFlurry will be your go-to summer dessert.”
For a brief period, McDonald's also offered a Blueberry & Crème Pie, which is filled with vanilla crème and blueberries rather than the traditional apple filling. Its portable baked apple pie is the restaurant chain's signature dish.
