You take some grapes, slice a few apples, throw in some yogurt and a sprinkling of walnuts. Sounds like a nutritious recipe for success, right? Try again. I’m talking about the new McDonald’s Fruit Buzz. Catchy name, sure. But I think the shiny-shoed folks in corporate threw away too many pennies on marketing a flawed product. And I'm not talking bruised apples.
I opened up Vanity Fair to find a bright, four-page foldout ad for this much hyped Fruit Buzz. And then, miracle of miracles, I came across a coupon for a free Buzz. Thought I'd give it a whirl...
I'm hardly lovin' it. Why? For starters, the Buzz requires assembly. The apples and grapes are in one container. The walnuts are in a plastic bag. The yogurt is in yet another container. Am I at a Tupperware party? The apples are nestled in that stage where they're a bit too large to eat in a single bite but are a pain to cut into smaller pieces. And the amount of yogurt is stingy-sized. The overall concoction is too sweet for my taste.
I’m afraid Ronald may have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Until then, I'll continue to make my own yogurt parfaits.
