It’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing these chocolate-drizzled fries on North American menus any time soon. “[We’re] always evaluating our offerings to meet the needs and wants of our customers,” says McDonald’s Canada spokesperson Michelle Yao, “but we currently have no plans to offer chocolate fries in Canada.”

The fast-food chain has a history of creating unique menu items for some of its international outposts. There was the Modern Chinese Burger — which included a grey bun, a pork patty, bacon and a rich dressing — as well as the Philippines’ Chicken McDo with spaghetti. Our favourite? The McLobster, the company’s version of a lobster roll which has been available in Atlantic Canada for over decade.
