Bubble Gum Brocolli?

In 2014, McDonalds was looking for ways to make their Happy Meals healthier.  One of the ideas was to sweeten the taste of brocolli by making it taste more like bubble gum.  The children that were asked to taste test the brocolli were confused by the flavor and did not care for it, so the company decided to abandon the idea.  They did decide to offer a smaller portion of fries and add an option of fruit and yogurt, and that is what we see today.

Congratulations to McDonalds on trying something new, and a big BIG THANK YOU to Scarlett in Ms DeClerk's class who brought this fun fact to me!
