While McDonald's is still a dominant force in the fast-food world, the chain has faced its fair share of difficulties in 2024 amid declining sales and fierce customer criticism over prices. However, the fast-food slinger is finally growing in popularity again—and two buzzworthy promotions are likely to thank for the turnaround.

McDonald's has announced that its McFlurry dessert is getting a new look. The Angels flamethrower struck out the Dodgers' Tommy Edman with some ridiculous heat. An incident involving Cailtin Clark and the Sky got ugly.

McDonald’s will introduce the Mini McFlurry – a smaller serving of the fan-favorite ice cream treat – to participating restaurants across the nation. Another change: The fast food chain will no longer serve the frozen treat in a cup with a dome-shaped plastic lid.
