Why does McDonalds’ ice cream taste so good?


Dearest client,


This is a great question, but sadly I do not eat McDonald's, so let's talk about this more scientifically and realistically.

First, there are 23 grams of sugar in a small ice cream cone from McDonald's. Sugar is what humans have craved since our birth. Other taste palettes such as spice, acidity, and savor must be built up and learned during our lives. However, we thirst for sugar, which was built into our systems.


McDonald's ice cream is also very cheap and affordable, and it is a great sweet dessert to enjoy for a low price.


Rather than saying you like eating McDonald's ice cream, you like powdered milk, sugar, cream, glucose, and emulsifiers. The "ice cream" from McDonald's contains a minimum of 10% milk fat, whereas McDonald's only contains 5%. So really, it's just a frozen milk dessert.



However, I cannot speak on behalf of all humankind; therefore, I will pass this on to another writer, who also cannot speak on behalf of the whole of humankind.


Even though McDonald's ice cream may contain a lot of sugar, sometimes, when you are having a bad time or tired and simply want something sweet to eat, McDonald's ice cream (especially McFlurry) would be an excellent choice to make! Eating sugar causes a surge of dopamine and can cause feelings of happiness and joy. In addition, ice cream contains protein and fat, which both helps level our moods. The amino acids from eating ice cream increase serotonin production, making us feel calm, satisfied, and happy. And all of these could contribute to your thoughts and choice of how McDonald's ice cream tastes good.


However, there are some cons of McDonald's ice cream.


As someone (another writer) who CAN speak on behalf of all of mankind, McDeez ice cream is entirely over-rated, expensive, tastes like trash, the cone is soggy, and even if you want it, it's never there cause the machine is broken 24/7. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST. THING. EVER. MADE. (Except for that creepy clown standing at the entrance).


Our sincerest regards,
