Jump to: Newest in thread
Do you normally indulge in any of the sweet treats from fast food places? If so, what are some of your favourites?
I love the Subways cookies and McDonald's started doing a chocolate brownie pie which is just crack 😋 |

I used to when I could, of course. 
Maccie’s ice cream was a firm favourite- but it has so much glucose and corn syrup that basically I’d be ingesting poison. 🫣
And the Subway cookies are legendary. In my mind they were better in the 90s 🍪 |

"After a night out - plain McFlurry and then dip the apple pie in. So so good.
Why has this never occurred to me? 😳🤤
Your body is a temple, mine is a comfort blanket. "
😂😂 Everyone needs some comfort in their life though, Meli 😘 |

"It's really rare we have take out desserts because I like doing the baking myself, but little dessert shop waffle with ferrero rocher is amazing "
I generally agree with this as well. My friends and I occasionally go to a dessert shop if the dessert menu at a restaurant is underwhelming! |

"I'm more of a savoury girl, so I don't bother with the deserts from fast food places very often. I did enjoy a chocolate and caramel pie thing that McDonald's did a little while back. "
I don't recall them doing these! I feel like I missed out now 😭😂 |

I don't really (despite my massive sweet tooth), but the Wimpy Brown Derby of my childhood remains a very happy core memory!
(For you, Joe, and other young people - it was a doughnut served with Mr Whippy ice cream, chocolate sauce and hazelnuts. It needs to make a comeback somewhere!!) |

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that 😢 I have a feeling everything in the 90s when it was loaded with sugar tasted a lot better 😄 |

I thought you were giving me a very mean nickname for a second there, YOLO 😳
I never had it but that genuinely sounded divine 🤤 |

I think it was a galaxy caramel pie but I could be misremembering 🤔 they seem to have a habit of bringing the same "specials" back again and again so it will probably be back at some point |

I have often gone to McDonald's and bought a McFlurry and an apple pie. Instead of anything savoury. But recently I've started using my ninja blender to make Shakeaway style milkshakes. Using vanilla ice cream, various different chocolates including M&Ms. And Biscoff biscuits, or Oreos and blending them. |

"I like a McFlurry
Don’t really use any other fast food place, apart from Burger King and I don’t know what desserts they do 😩"
Now that I think about it, I've never had a Burger King dessert either... I wonder what they do 🤔 |

Wimpy still exists and they still do a Brown Derby. Pretty sure there's a couple in London Yolo. |

We have a Wimpy here in Barnstaple. They do brown derbys. |

If YOLO could just master the use of googlemaps he could find several around the city he lives in |

Yeah, until they take it away again. The bastards! |

I've done this a few times with the blender but found that it was a faff and the juice wasn't worth the squeeze... Or the alternative milkshake metaphor 😅 |

"I loved the strawberry sundaes from McDonald’s but don’t think they do them anymore? 🥲 The white chocolate and hazelnut cookies from Subway are also lush but haven’t had one in years. "
I think enough people have mentioned the Sundaes where we need to start a petition to bring them back! 😂 |

"Not a fast food place but there's a bakery next to my house and they do the sexiest strawberry tarts. Genuinely can't walk past without going in and buying one 🤤"
*Books trip to Scotland* 👀
I would never financially recover from having a bakery next to my house 😅 |

No, I would not typically eat them.
I had a McFlurry a year or so ago, after seeing 1 advertised and asking about it on here.
I used to like the little ice creams.
On a diet at present, so not doing desserts |

Who knew! Haven't seen one in ages - google tells me they're mainly in the 'burbs, but I'll have to hunt one down! |

I second this, my go to as well "
I used to do this back in the day. Now I usually opt for a milkshake (not McDonald's anymore) or cookies. |

"my favourite is cream egg McFlurry but as that only available at certain time of the year I would say Oreo McFlurry is my standard go to "
I actually prefer Oreo ice cream if it's blitzed within the ice cream. I feel like the McFlurry just gives you plain ice cream with Oreo pieces 😅 |

"Any glazed doughnuts, from anywhere!!
That's a good shout! Krispy Kreme gets a lot of crap but their glazed doughnuts are elite!"
100% Who are the fools criticising Krispy Kremes? No accounting for taste. |

The little ice cream comes they used to do, do you mean? Because I vaguely remember those! |

"Try a sopapilia with a little honey from taco villa or an empanada ( fried dough dusted with cinnamon and sugar ,fried apple pie) "
Ooooh I've never heard of these. I'll add it to the list as they sound incredible! |

Yes! I love the Maltesers ones and the Crunchie one isn't too bad either. |

I think it's more for the price which I understand for what you get, but as a treat once in the while, they're sooooo good! Almost as good as Crosstown 👀 |

My kids loved that too. After the cinema we would go for pizza and the serve yourself ice cream. |

Ah, ok, they seem about right to me. I could get the cost argument with a Crosstown though!! 🤣 |

It's actually the opposite for me. I love the Nutella and Biscoff ones but can't eat many but could happily nail a box of the original glazed ones 😂 |

I think I only did the Pizza Hut buffet a couple of times when I was younger but always made a beeline for the ice cream station and just wanted bowls of the stuff 😋 |

Ahhh so even you think they're pricey? I like them so I always justified it with the fabled phrase "London prices, innit?" 😂 |

To be fair, that's probably true (I had an £8 banana bread today! Amazing, but also 😭).
But I think it's the fact I'd enjoy a KK just as much and could probably get 2 for the same price that gives me pause for thought! |

Egg custards from Cooplands is just delicious 🤤
Although I love fries dipped in vanilla milkshake 🤤🤤
K"
A lot of people like the sweet and salty mix. I haven't been brave enough to try it myself but one day! 😂 |

Oh it's a bit late now and I've somewhat satiated it with a bit of chocolate 😄 |

£8 for banana bread! 😂 But I get what you mean, the Crosstown are are bigger and maybe more "deluxe" but KK hits the spot too. I guess Crosstown is a novelty for me too which is why I don't mind them. |
