As summer continues to spring more surprises on us, a lot of people are opting for outdoor meals and treats.

This year, things have taken an interesting turn as a brand new Skittles flavour is added to the mix from next week.
This addition, along with other newbies, has stirred a great deal of debate among Mcdonald’s fans. From Wednesday, May 29 onwards, customers have something to look forward to: the new Hat Trick Burger. This hefty treat consists of three beef patties, double cheese slices, grilled onions and stacked tastefully with ketchup and mustard in a sesame seed bun.
The launch of this burger is perfectly timed with the sports-loaded summer season, including the much-awaited Olympics beginning in July. Priced at £5.89 for a regular meal and £7.69 for a medium, this is a worthy contender for all burger lovers out there.
An excited spokesperson for McDonald’s disclosed: “For fans craving that big win this Summer, McDonald’s UK & Ireland has unveiled an exciting new menu, packed full of crowd-pleasers.”

For those who are obsessed with Chicken Selects, there’s now a nine-piece share box ready for grabs at only £8.49.
A McDonlad’s spokesperson stated that there’s an updated trio of dips hitting the menu “to pair perfectly with chicken”, which includes garlic mayo, sweet and smoky BBQ, and sweet chilli. Well-loved mozzarella dippers are again making an entry, teamed with a bold tomato dip, price tagged at £2.39.
For those who are keen to try the Skittles McFlurry, the delightful treat combines smooth dairy ice cream swirled with chewy Skittles fudge bites and sugary pearls, finished with a purple Skittles-flavoured sauce. Also a piping hot dessert will also debut, alongside the re-emergence of a choccy favourite.
Stealing the limelight at first sight is the Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie, set at a friendly price of £1.99. This blend of silky chocolate and tangy fruit in the form of a crispy chocolate pastry filled with glossy ganache and a luscious raspberry compote has been praised aplenty by fans. All set to return too will be the Galaxy Caramel McFlurry, much to the rise of cheers from Galaxy lovers for £2.19.
The return of McDonald’s Ice Latte just in time for some good weather, priced at £2.49, was announced by the likable social media page New Foods UK, known for its timely updates on new food releases. While there is a lot of anticipation to taste these new entries on the menu, not everyone seemed equally excited.

Another person wrote: “Omg chocolate and raspberry pie, we need to try,” dragged a friend into the excitement with a tag. Another commented: “I’m all over that,” while one less impressed challenger questioned: “So confused about the McFlurry.”
But seemes unimpressed, adding: “A Skittles McFlurry is tragic.” One nother said: “The pie and McFlurry sound awful,” Meanwhile, there was a questioning Instagram user who threw in, “Isn’t the burger just a triple quarter pounder? ,”.
Another individual wrote: “Curious about the Skittles McFlurry – wouldn’t they freeze hard like fruity bullets on your teeth. The Galaxy Raspberry Pie sounds good though.”
