McDonald's is going bananas over Despicable Me's lovable Minions. To celebrate the upcoming third installment in the franchise — yes, really — McDonald's Singapore has created a limited-edition menu [1] inspired by those little yellow guys. While there are plenty of other exciting additions, we have to address the Banana Cone.
The Banana Cone is a lot like McDonald's usual vanilla soft serve [2]; however, the ice cream is instead banana-flavored and the crispy cone is blue! In case you hadn't pieced it all together yet, the Banana Cone is meant to resemble the funny physique of a Minion. In addition, the banana flavor is a nod to their inexplicable obsession with the fruit.
According to Instagram, the $1 treat has been a big hit. Several people have compared the flavor to banana milk [3], like Nesquik's nostalgic mix. Unfortunately, no announcements have been made about the dessert's potential availability in the United States. In the meantime, enjoy sunny pictures of the Banana Cone ahead.
