McDonald’s Has $0.50 Vanilla Cones On Weekdays

McDonald’s has 50 cents vanilla cones on weekdays

If you miss the good ol’ days when McDonald’s ice cream cones would set you back just a few cents, you may be glad to know that those times are back—for a limited time only. McDonald’s is offering the famous Vanilla Cones for 50 cents, from Mondays to Fridays, 4pm to 5pm!

You can enjoy this exciting promo at any McDonald’s Dessert Kiosks. These startlingly cheap cones—which usually cost a single dollar, and are known for their combination of fragrant vanilla ice cream and crispy cones—are here for a good time but not a long time, so snag them while you can!

Do note that this promotion is not available during the eve of and on public holidays.

In related dessert news, McDonald’s now has Purple Sweet Potato Soft Serve for a limited time too!

The purple sweet potato soft serve is said to be creamy and smooth, tinted with a pretty lilac shade that’s worthy for the gram. Try this new ice cream flavour in a cone, sundae, or McFlurry form.

You’ll also find the beloved Potato Wedges (from $4.70), which you can have in place of fries, also available for a short time!

That’s not all: there’s also a Taro Custard Pie (from $1.80), featuring creamy custard and bits of taro in the middle of a piping-hot pie. Else, try the Purple Sweet Potato Soft Serve in cone, McFlurry, or sundae-form!

As with all limited-time-only items from McDonald’s, be sure to get your hands on these items while they’re still gracing the outlets.
