    I aint too keen on the ice cream as it melts far too quickly. But atleast the sundaes are more like ice ceam than the flurry's they sell.

    Its the same ice cream in Mcflurry's and sundaes :)

    (and 99p gets you an apple pie with vanilla ice cream - yummy)

    Yes I realise it's the same Ice cream but when you mix the ice cream in the flurry it makes it less softer and i was making the comment that you get 1 pie with the pie & ice for 99p and not two as already mentioned. But McD's have taken that dessert off the menu and is not for sale anymore. Thanks for trying to set me straight. :T

    Let me tell you something about which you can be happy:

    For some years, now, the pies in American McDonald's have been baked rather than fried. You have no idea how this upset me when I was in America. Mickey-D's is generally much worse over here than in the States* but at least you've got the fried pies.





    *in the US, the sandwiches are actually hot and tasty. Seriously.

    I went to McDonalds yesterday, I go once in a blue moon. When I got home, the 2 apple pies for 99p I bought, were 1 apple pie, and one small apple pie! I didn't even know they made them. It seems that I was given a regular, and a small apple pie that's used for the ice cream and apple pie.

    Yep. One for trading standards or take it back or who knows, that could possibly be their new money saving scheme, to keep the new small ones and change them to the old.
