McDonalds Snack-Size Smoothies $1(Apr 16 to 22)

[tjthemanto]

me and my husband had mistakenly ordered 2 small sized ones and our total was around $6.99...expensive!

I hate it when they have all these confusing sizes. WTH is a snack size ?

Just keep a small , medium , large and X'large size like the old times , instead of all this new nonsense from Tim's and McD's .

Like in Tim's the new small is the old medium ..what the heck.

I think they should have standard sizes regulated by the food industry at all different chains. The small at Mcd's is different from the small at Tim's , Coffee Time , Second Cup etc. just like beer bottles they should have standard izes everwhere , so you know what you are geeing

If you want it sickly sweet and don't want to use sugar, open up a can of peaches or pineapples, freeze the peaches and pineapples in ziploc bags, put the juice in ice cube trays and use these instead of ice cubes.

So how small is the snack size? 4oz? 6oz?

Oh, just want to say, don't use the Magic Bullet. It's not powerful enough. All my plastic attachments have been shaved clean. Went through 2 of these before I got an Oster blender. These are metal and haven't failed me yet.

If you like ice capps, in blender, add ice cubes, chocolate milk, and a couple of squirts of Nescafe Ice Java Cappuccino syrup. It's less than $5 and 470ml.

Or just purchase the fruits in the season (summer) and froze them in Ziploc...I do that all the time with strawberry,rasberry,blueberry everything I like to put in my smooties

Plastic attachments? You mean the cups/containers?

The spinning rubber thing attached to the spinning blades. If you do it too long, machine starts to smoke up unless you are using super tiny tiny ice cubes or shaved ice. I now have 2 Magic Bullets with useless attachments.

Ooooh! Ok, thanks XD lol

I was like, my blades are metal ... I don't get it haha

I don't make them often, but when I do, I put the ice in a plastic bag and take out some frustration with a meat tenderizer And then I use the bullet. I used to put them whole, but found it took too long and it annoyed me. I much prefer smashing them.

i work for mcds and I noticed on our notice board about the dollar drinks, that it is any size soft drinks, but only small and medium ice coffees

Argh, I hope that's not true. The large ones are only $1.70-ish before tax so having it small/medium only doesn't provide any real savings.

It looks like someone decided to combine the totally seperate threads on Mc Donald's drinks.

I am writing about the smoothies that are $1 for this week only.
Today, I tried the Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie for the first time.
Although it was a small container, it was worth the $1 and the effort to get it!

They are delicous and perfect size for kid! I hope they keep it for the summer and keep that price

Snack size is 9 oz. Size small is priced at $2.69.

9 oz is 266 ml , so its equivalent to the small 250 ml juice boxes you get in grocery stores from Minute Maid , Oasis etc

I got hooked on these two summers ago on a road trip in the US.... I am very happy to see they're back and I'll definitely be indulging - the 'snack size' (9oz) is all I need for a treat

I tried the mango pineapple yesterday, soooo good and well worth the offer for this week, too bad they can't offer it all summer

Yeah its worth it for 1.00 but I don't think its worth it when it goes back to the original price of 1.99 + tax when the promo gets over ...since its so small

Thanks op for the info! I'll have to check it out this week I like the Tim Hortons ones as a treat every now and then!
