When will McDonald’s release the soft drink Dirty Soda?
The new drink will go on sale at McDonald’s stores nationwide from May 6th.
In a post on X, Guillaume Huynh, senior marketing director for McDonald’s US, said in a post on X that restaurants have already “begun training and preparation” ahead of the drink’s official menu rollout.
The drink may now be available for order at some restaurants, Huynh said, adding that the best way to find out if the drink is available at your location is to check in the McDonald’s app.
“McDonald’s drinks have always been special, but this takes us into a new era,” Huynh said.
