As customers express dismay over soaring fast-food prices, with McDonald's menu items like the Big Mac reaching unprecedented costs of $18, the iconic chain is taking action to win back its budget-conscious patrons.

Beginning May 21, the chain is releasing for a limited time a “Grandma McFlurry,” a sweet new treat that mixes syrup, vanilla ice cream and crunchy candy pieces, which McDonald’s jokes is “like grandma’s favorite treat that she hid in her purse.”

McDonald’s didn’t reveal the flavors of the candy used in the McFlurry, but Reddit users are claiming it’s butterscotch — similar to Werther’s Original candy, a favorite among grandmas. “Grandmas have always held a special place in our hearts, and today they’re having a major moment influencing culture — inspiring trends in fashion, decor and now, even food with our newest McFlurry,” said Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience Officer for McDonald’s, in a news release. “The Grandma McFlurry tastes like a trip down memory lane, and we’re excited to give our fans that experience while honoring the grandma figure in all our lives.
