“Me looking at that makes my stomach hurt”: Netizens react as McDonald’s introduces Cookies and Crème Pie in the US

McDonald’s is finally extending its dessert line-up in the U.S. as the chain begins to offer a new Cookies and Crème Pie. Featuring a chocolate cookie crumb shell filled with a vanilla creme filling, the new dessert is said to be officially available across the United States starting July 14 for a limited time.

However, it turns out that the new dessert has already started appearing on the chain's menu at select locations, and few lucky fans have already managed to try out the new Cookies and Crème Pie. As per the reports from the chain and customers, the new handheld dessert is either already being sold or will be sold across several cities in the US.

It is to be noted that a similar item has long been available in the chain's restaurants in Germany, and several customers in the U.S. have been continuously hoping for it to also be available in the United States locations. However, not everyone is happy or excited about the upcoming Cookies & Créme Pie dessert. Unsure about how good it would be, user @d.9.9_ commented on how simply looking at it made their stomach hurt.
