I love their 200 calorie vanilla ice cream cone.

I also tried the oreo Mcflurry-so good

Me too!! Perfect size and oooh so yummy. Like you, once in awhile treat. Do enjoy Sam's yogurt parfait amount given to much.

Yes to both you ladies. 

They both are a tasty snack. That I gladly partake - in moderation of course.

I love the ice cream cone and it's 8 pts. on WW.  Yum.

Yes, I love the cones too (and a great price!), but the problem is most of my local McDonald's repeatedly claim "the ice cream machine is broken."  😧

Apparently, there is some sort of daily maintenance/cleaning that needs to be done but for whatever reason they don't.  When we're in the mood for a cone or a hot fudge sundae (also yummy!) from McDonald's, I literally call three different restaurants and ask if their ice cream machine is working before we even head that way.  Can't tell you how many times we drove from one to the next just to be told the same thing about the broken ice cream machines!  Pretty much stopped going there for that reason.  Now I often make my own shakes at home with my Ninja or we go to Cook Out, Culver's, or Steak n Shake (more expensive but good and reliable).

On a positive note, I was glad to see McDonald's return to $1 drinks/any size.  We rarely eat a meal there, but would sometimes stop by for ice cream or a cold drink when we were out.  Because of the broken ice cream machine and practically doubling the price of a Coke, it got to where I hardly ever went to McDonald's.

This happens around here too!!! My granddaughter likes their milkshakes and I like to take her for a treat once in awhile

The cones are all we get there now. Used to love their iced coffee but I buy cold brew instead now. The cones are always great. Even my pups love them. ❤️

I've never had either.  I go thru McDonalds only for a plain sausage mcmuffin, or fries, or a Big Mac without cheese and lettuce.

I'm not an ice cream lover but if I did want to splurge I certainly wouldn't go to McDonalds for one! I have local creameries that have homemade ice cream, mmmmm!

I love McDonalds ice cream cones....we don't have any "local" creameries, but where my dd lives, she does. Holy Moly. Talk about delish.
