McDonald’s to get rid of Hi-C from menu

[andrew8798]

Takes place in July. To be replaced by Sprite TropicBerry

Say goodbye to Hi-C Orange at McDonald’s.

The fast-food chain will begin phasing out the beverage on May 1, according to a memo posted this week on Reddit. A representative for McDonald’s told Eat This, Not That that all locations will stop carrying the drink after July.

According to the memo, the chain is introducing a new “proprietary” beverage called Sprite TropicBerry that will be served exclusively at McDonald’s locations. It’s part of the company’s partnership with Coca-Cola.

McDonald’s website touts Hi-C Orange Lavaburst as “packed with crisp citrus flavor,” but customers won’t be able to enjoy it for much longer. You may still have time to order the drink because McDonald’s locations are advised to keep selling it until their current supply is gone.

That was the only drink I really got there

I usually just get Sprite. I like Hi-C, but I am not going to miss it terribly much.

Good.

Recently I would have a cup or two of heavily iced soda along with my coffee and I'd usually get Hi-C, thinking it was a better alternative to sprite or coke in terms of calories and to my surprise, it's worse.

Nooooooooo!!!! Seriously that's my favorite drink there. 😡

McDonald's just isn't right without it. I likely won't ever eat there again once it's gone.

Seems like every 6 months they mess with their menu

Now what will I drink to cure my hangovers?? I'm legit bummed about this news and it makes no sense to me. They've had it all my life and my parents would get a cooler of it from McDonald's for my birthday parties, as a child. That drink and the double cheeseburgers are pretty much the only things I get from there nowadays.

Hi-C what they did there.

Yeah, you didn't force that one at all, me.
