Normally you get McFlurry's based on chocolate bars like Yorkie. But now the current is just called Chocolate Fudge Brownie, really generic .

So you mean they have a special edition flurry not associated with a brand name rather than "McDonalds Stop Branding McFlurries"?

I got a Cadbury's Cream Egg one last month.

Yes and that was probably be the last ever branded McFlurry.

In a supermarket do you take branding over taste? Can't see what the big deal is care to enlighten me?

They still sell Smarties, Dairy Milk and Crunchie so I don't get where this panic is coming from. They have just gone with Starburst Milkshake this time when that would of probably been the McFlurry.

What are you on about? Do you work in the McDonald's planning department? Unless you do, you can't make a comment like that. There are still branded Mcflurries.

I went yesterday and there still selling Kit Kat, Smartie and Cadburys Dairy Cream mcflurrys.

The chocolate brownie mcflurrys are just another product.

I doubt it. I think the chocolate manafacturers would probably pay McDonald's to get their products in the store.

Just had a Dairy Milk one about 2 hours ago. I did see the fudge one advertised, but they have not stopped the branded ones.

The fudge brownie sounds lovely! But yeah, I was in there just now and they're selling Smarties etc. just the same as they always have, they just don't have a 'special' seasonal limited edition one a la Creme Egg.

you reckon Cadbury's Nestles need to pay McDonalds for adverts?

I am much more inclined to think they get a few pence per pot sold from MacD's

The Fudge Brownie i had yesterday was smashing . Best one ive had . Big brownie pieces in it . In Australia none of there McFlurries are branded and they had a bubblegum flavoured one.
