As I ventured into town this afternoon for lunch, I caught a glimpse of the McDonalds sign, reminding we residents that they still have a special offer active on their pizza.
Yes. Pizza.
Our local McDonalds is one of the very few that still offer pizza. Not only that, but they have a full service ice cream bar with various flavors of hand-dipped Breyers ice cream and made-on-the-spot waffle cones.
Does your local McDonalds offer something out of the ordinary?
EDIT: from Wikipedia - Pizza / McPizza – McDonald's has also attempted pizza at various times, with an apple-pie–like McPizza and more conventional McDonald's Pizza. A line of personal-sized pizzas was first seen in the late 1970s in test-market stores near interstate highways around Milwaukee and Madison. In Canada (c. 1992–1999), the pizza originally began as a family-sized pizza that was brought out to the table by an employee and placed on a raised rack in the centre of the table. Later it was scaled down to a personal-sized pizza. However, variations have found their way into some international markets such as India (the pie-like "Pizza McPuff"). McDonald's also test marketed a 14-inch, round, traditional-style pizza in Evansville, Indiana, and nearby Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1989.[28] By 1991, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 McDonald's locations before the pizza test was placed on hold.[29] Pizza was discontinued in most restaurants* by 2000. The reason for eliminating the pizza from the menu was that the time to cook a pizza took 11 minutes, and McDonalds wanted to keep its reputation for fast service.
