Blueberry pie, and ice cream -- in a cup! Tastes better than it looks, which in itself is different for McDonalds. Click the image to enlarge it.[/caption]
Yesterday evening, while enjoying some weak McWiFi, I witnessed a flash young couple breeze in. Very fond of themselves, and each other, I thought. They proceeded to order a single McFlurry -- perhaps negotiate is a better characterization of what ensued. The weren't interested in standard McFlurry toppings -- they wanted blueberry pie -- A blueberry pie, McFlurried. This was far above the pay grade of an ordinary McDonalds counter-person, so a manager stepped in, and I became really interested, because, the manager not only agreed to do it, she instructed her young McMinion to charge it, not as a McFlurry, and a pie, but rather as an ice cream cone in a cup, and a pie -- much cheaper; the manager then took charge of the delicate operation of filling the cup with ice cream, then taking the blueberry pie out of the box and breaking it up in the cup, and then mixing it all together with the McFlurry mixer. The couple took to their their custom mcFlurry like they were having sex with it. I thought, "I gotta get me some of that action!"
This afternoon, as luck would have it, the same manager was on shift, and I asked her about getting a blueberry pie McFlurry, just like the couple, the previous evening. "Oh sure," she said, and again, explained to a young order-taker how to charge for it. It cost, $5.01 CAN, about a dollar cheaper than if I'd been charged for a McFlurry and pie.
It does make a very tasty McFlurry. The pie breaks up into many different-sized bits, which is more interesting than the rigorously-uniform standard topping. I found it somewhat less sweet than a stock McFlurry, which was a bonus. And, yes; it's blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream as many of us prepared it when we were five-years-old: mash, mash, mash! One big flaw was the high temperature of the pie, which warmed up the ice cream too quickly, so after the first few ice cold spoonfuls, the McFlurry became warmer and runnier, but still tasty. My favourite is still a McFlurry with plain strawberry mixed in.
