Lil MacDonald’s Happy Meal: Food and a small portion of McDonald’s
New Mini Mac Donald’s toys are coming to Happy Meal on July 1st, including order kiosks, food plates and miniature replicas from restaurants.
As part of the McMuffin fast food chain’s 50th anniversary ceremony, McDonald’s is releasing a series of new options to “spice” the breakfast menu.
Next week, McDonald’s will be launching three spicy breakfast menu items: spicy McMuffins, spicy sausage McMuffins, spicy sausage McMuffins and eggs. McMuffins comes with traditional ingredients like cheese, eggs, Canadian bacon and sausages, as well as buttered English muffins topped with spicy pepper sauce.
McDonald’s founded the Egg McMuffin in 1975. The breakfast item was the brainchild of Herb Peterson, a McDonald’s franchisee in Santa Barbara, California. The herb presented the sandwich as a Togo version of the Diner Classic: Eggs Benedict, according to a previous USA Today Reporting. Roy Crock, the businessman who transformed McDonald’s into something that’s today, loved the idea.
When will spicy McMuffins be available?
Spicy McMuffins (and their subsidiaries) will be available for a limited time from Tuesday, July 8th at participating locations.
