Five McDonald's items being axed this week to make way for brand new burger

McDonald's is axing a number of fan favourites to make way for several exciting new additions in a major menu shake-up this week.

From Wednesday, May 10 foodies can get their hands on the all-new Spicy Big Tasty - imagine the classic Big Tasty burger with a fiery twist - plus seven further tasty additions.

But in bad news for mozzarella lovers, the dippers are among the five items leaving the menu to make room for the newcomers.

Fans can wave goodbye to the Chicken Big Mac, Steakhouse Stack and Mozzarella Dippers. It's the end of the run for Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry and Cadbury Caramel Egg McFlurry as well.

The duo are set to be replaced by The Wispa McFlurry, the Sun reports. Along with the return of this popular ice cream, customers can also enjoy the new Wispa Gold McFlurry, which will be topped with a Cadbury caramel sauce. Talk about a comeback.

What's more, the cooling ice cream is sure to go down a treat after the new Spicy Big Tasty. It's a 100% beef patty, served with Emmental cheese, lettuce, bacon, tomato, and Big Tasty sauce updated to include a jalapeno kick.

Meanwhile, bacon lovers can once again enjoy their favourite meal with the return of the classic Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon. But that's not all.

To celebrate the 40th birthday of the iconic McNugget, four new limited-edition dips are coming to golden arches near you.

The Mega Hot Sauce dip and the long-awaited Garlic Mayo dips will both be available from May 10, with the Chipotle Mayo dip and the Creamy Ranch being added soon after on May 31.

McDonald's halloumi fries are coming back as well. Anyone for halloumi fries dipped in the new sauces?

In more McDonald's news, the fast good giant has made a huge change to its Food for Thought offer which previously entitled customers to a Big Mac, Vegetable Deluxe, or Filet-o-Fish with either one medium Fries or Side Salad for £1.99 when they completed the required survey.

Now the deal also includes six Chicken McNuggets, a McChicken Sandwich, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, or a McPlant, with the latter replacing the Vegetable Deluxe option.
