Surely this depends on the staff working there.

When the dinner lady slides you a extra chicken nugget

Hate to be that guy, but why would it be good for kids who waste ice cream if it's seemingly the same amount as a regular McFlurry, wouldn't they be wasting the same if this was the case?

On a serious note, see this thread for all the happy comments Heated OP, great price regardless.

Judging by calories, the mini is roughly half the size of the regular one.

Whilst not a bad deal and a more appropriate size for kids, this thread is full of misinformation.

How the hell is this a deal? The 59p ones ARE smaller and are actually more expensive per gram than the larger ones. Buying a mini McFlurry and hoping you get a big one is not a sound basis for a "deal"!

I noticed this tonight myself OP. Ordered mini McFlurrys for my kids and received full size McFlurrys. I suspect this is probably due to McDonalds failing to supply the mini cartons to the stores though, so it probably won't last. I was in the Bellshill store.

More likely a training issue with staff overfilling than anything else.

I’m guessing - as you are paying less - therefore less wastage of money, if not fully consumed?

You definitely DONT get the same amount but I prefer the amount in the smaller one.

If your flipping lucky to have a McDonald’s that hasn’t ran out of milkshakes and icecream fir 3 days

What bugs me is.. if you order a medium meal with water you get 50cl bottle, right?

You upgrade to a large meal, you still receive 50cl water.

Obviously talking about wasting money not ice cream 🤪

Wow 150calories, that's great for people on a diet.

What's even better is it seems you get as much ice cream as the normal ones, but it's listed as half the calories - that's how I work it at least! :P

i can get a mcflurry for free with my student card

It’s not really free when you have to buy a £6 meal

You got mentioned on mirror.co.uk/money/shopping-deals/mcflurry-fans-spotted-mcdonalds-hack-12882237.amp (edited)

So despite photographic evidence, the nutritional values and staff accounts clearly debunking the fact that they put the same in both, the title still suggests otherwise, and now a national newspaper has spread the lies.

Good work all round.

Big mac and fries for 1.99 and now this. Macd is most affordable fast food place for sure. Best mcflurry I ever had was toffee crisp. I stopped going because I was yamming the 1.99 deal on an almost daily basis. Now ive seen this deal I think I will go again soon!

Have to say the 59p is a great size that hits the spot at the right price. Good move by them

As others have said this is definitely much smaller (from experience as well as stats) but yeah for me personally these are just enough to get your ice cream hit without feeling too fat (edited)

No deal. Had one , good size but the cartons are half the size.. and not overfilled. Hardly any topping in fact. I thought McDonald’s used to put the topping through the ice cream? Only seems to be placed on top now

Yeah the full pricing is
Promo - £1.29
Promo mini - 89p
Regular - 89p
Regular mini - 59p
There has been a full reduction in ice-cream size (Excluding Sunday's which may soon be removed from the menu) even for the normal one which can also be seen in the reduction of price. The company says it's based on government pressure to reduce sugar intake

Not exactly straightforward since you need to put ice in cold drinks, cream and sauces in ice-creams and frappes. Sometimes milkshake machine won't fill it completely so you have to press the button again and stop it before it over fills. So, sometimes, there is no time to use the stirring machineRead lessRead more

Yet they always find time to put pickles on burgers that the majority (independent survey carried out by me just now with the 4 people in with) don't want.

I think what's meant here is that less money is wasted as a result.

lol @ op for posting this non deal
bigger lol @ the mirror for posting it as a news story!

Correct me if I'm wrong?I remember being based in Germany and Mcflurries appeared out there about a year before they appeared in the UK.Also love the fact you can get a beer with your meal at many places on the continent.Read lessRead more

McFlurries are about E 2.80

But the Happy Meal is about the same I think.

They do have the Mc Combo meal through, which is a fairly cheapy burger (Double Cheeseburger), fries and drinks for 2.99 with up to 5 additional sides for 1 euro each - I usually have an 8 part meal (inc beer & McFlurry) for 8 euro (edited)

Should state from 59p as the guest ones are more expensive (malteaser, flake, etc).

Having a McDonald's not-a-deal makes a refreshing change from the KFC not- a-deals.

Wow 150calories, that's great for people on a diet.

I was only messing, but yes - I'll accept that explanation.

Never been so disappointed... They do not put any sauce in the mini mcfluffy... This is the best part of the mcfluffy. Never again lol 😁

It’s a great idea to do this with the McFlurry’s, they do it with fries and drinks, giving small, medium, large options so why not with McFlurry’s. The amount of times I brought my little niece one and she gets half way through then thinks she’ll eye up my food instead!

Thats great

Oh yum

The machine always seem to be ‘broken’ when it’s hot outside.. (edited)

The machines often over heat and begin to malfunction in the heat with the ice cream normally coming out as cream

well you could get a wrap of the day meal for just 3.59

I bought a McFlurry recently, it was 89p (smaller size, smaller price!) except there was only an inch of icecream in the pot. I even went back to enquire - they confirmed that they only fill them up an inch. I have no clue why they've reduced the size so drastically, they're rubbish now.
