\"McDonald's<\/p>\n

There are two animal characters in KPop Demon Hunters \u2014 Derpy and The Bird.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s what my wife said when I asked her the animal characters’ names, since she watched the movie and I didn’t. I don’t know what’s worse: someone who watched the movie not knowing your name, or not getting your own McDonald’s menu item. Sorry, Sussie (The Bird\u2019s name). But Derpy is cuter and, as luck would have it, has a name that rhymes with McFlurry.<\/p>\n

The Derpy McFlurry features McDonald’s soft serve with wildberry-flavored sauce and popping pearls. And because this is KPop Demon Hunters, it naturally has to have purple in some way \u2014 though Derpy is apparently blue, so why isn’t this dessert blue too? But again, I’m coming at this as someone who has only read the movie’s Wikipedia entry, so maybe I’m missing something.<\/p>\n

\"Wildberry<\/p>\n

One thing worth knowing before you dig in: the wildberry sauce and popping pearls all sit on top of the soft serve, so if you want that flavor throughout, you’re going to have to mix it yourself. I know, I know \u2014 it’s a McFlurry, and they’re supposed to do that for you. But can you imagine sticking this into the McFlurry mixing machine? All those purple pearls would pop.<\/p>\n

\"McDonald's<\/p>\n

While it’s wildberry-flavored, if you love raspberry, you’re going to love this \u2014 though at times I thought I detected a hint of blueberry as well. The fruity flavor is bold and present with most spoonfuls once mixed, and the popping pearls do exactly what they’re supposed to, exploding in your mouth and enhancing the flavor with every pop. Its fruitiness reminds me of raspberry yogurt, minus the seeds \u2014 which, thankfully, aren’t here, because I’m not a fan of raspberry seeds in yogurts or Jamba Juice smoothies.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

McDonald’s Derpy McFlurry is quite satisfying with its berry flavor and fun with its exploding spherical inclusions. Along with the Demon Sauce from the HUNTRIX Meal<\/a>, this was another highlight of McDonald’s current limited-time menu, and a dessert I’d happily go back for.<\/p>\n
