McFlurry Meltdown

People often decide on food by eating what they know they like. For example, if you went to the store most likely someone would purchase name brand cereals over store brand. If you have lived on your own, you will know that Ralph's brand fruity-o's are exactly the same as traditional Fruit Loops in taste, but at about half the cost per box. This is found all throughout the store, whether its cereal, bread, or even canned goods. Many of the times it is much more efficient to simply by through the store-brand items than to have to satisfy yourself with a silly name. It is a very easy way to help save money if you are on a frigid budget. Although the food is not too appetizing from McDonalds, they have a very delicious desert menu. A personal favorite is the seasonal Three Muskateers McFlurry. For those who don’t know, a McFlurry is a cup of ice cream whipped together with an optional candy topping of Snickers, Oreo, M&M’s, Butterfinger, and sometimes Three Muskateers. At just under three dollars it seems like the perfect treat, when in reality it is quite a scam.

For about a quarter less you can buy the same treat in a pint-size tub. The heavenly treat is called Medieval Madness, which is vanilla ice cream with wonderful chunks and swirls of Three Muskateers. With this pint-size tub at under three dollars a piece, you can have more of the same great taste for just about the same price. If you feel like having a home made McFlurry all you would need to do is add a scoop or two of Medieval Madness to a little splash of milk and whip it up in the blender. After a few seconds your treat is complete. Once your done making one or two of these, you can put the tub back in the freezer, where if you had McFlurrys you would have to eat them before you got home. Also, with making these treats at home, you do not have to worry about a bite or two not having candy in it. You can add as many or as few pieces of candy as you would like, without getting skimped like at McDonalds.
