FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s Peach Sweet Tea and Strawberry Sweet Tea

McDonald's Peach Tea and Strawberry Tea

McDonald’s Peach and Strawberry Teas aren’t new for some of you in states like North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia because they were available last year, but it’s new for those in Kentuckiana. Impulsive Buy reader, The Groove Machine, sent us a photo of Peach and Strawberry teas being offer in Indiana.

Last year, McDonald’s also offered in certain regions their Raspberry Sweet Tea and Diet Sweet Tea.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think of it in the comments. Also, if you’ve seen the teas in your area, let us know where.
