MCDONALD'S fans are fuming over an item that was discontinued a few years ago, and some have demanded that the fast-food joint put it back on the menu.
While many head to the drive-through to indulge in a cheeseburger or fries, some customers are still mourning the loss of one of McDonald's healthier items.

The Fruit and Yogurt Parfait managed to survive 20 years on McDonald's menu, catering to customers looking for a "lighter fare."
A Twitter account dedicated to discontinued foods made a toast to the once-adored breakfast staple.
"An ostensibly 'lighter' option, this snack item from McD's featured layers of low-fat vanilla yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola, in a plastic cup," the account wrote.
While the parfait was discontinued in 2020, the account suggested that there is a possibility that it might make a return.

"This was one of the items axed during that pandemic phase when all the fast food places were paring down their menus, so it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility to see it return at some point," they continued.
Some hungry foodies still haven't recovered from the loss of one of their favorite snacks.
"These things ruled, I wish they still had them," one person wrote.
Some people believed that the parfaits were a more health-conscious choice, while still trying to eat on a budget.

"I lost a bunch of weight years ago and these were a go to for me when I was out and about and needed a snack. Was sad they canceled them," another Twitter user commented.
Other people suggested that the parfaits likely were not as 'healthy' as they appeared, but tasted delightful either way.
"This was pretty good, actually. Not really healthy because of all the sugar, but it tasted good," a third suggested.
Another parfait-lover offered a recommendation for those craving a similar creamy yogurt and fruit combo.
"If you eat at Chik-Fil-A, they have a very similar yogurt parfait on their breakfast menu," they claimed.
Believe it or not, this isn't the first time McDonald's has axed a fan-favorite off their menu.
The chain, which is over 83 years old, has seen many changes over the decades.
Diners used to be able to treat themselves to everything from bagel sandwiches to cinnamon rolls, as well as a surprisingly fresh walnut salad and fruit salad.
Unfortunately, all these offerings are now relics of the past.
However, the quick-service dining spot has not shied away from testing out some new items. Most recently, the international brand has added a couple trendy options to its menus in the U.K.
One woman took to TikTok to try out some new items, including the new Steakhouse Stack burger, which comes with red onion, lettuce, cheese, two patties and peppercorn sauce.

She also raved about the latest McFlurry flavor, Cadbury's caramel and Creme Egg, which came out just in time for Easter.
While the loss of the Fruit and Yogurt parfait may be bittersweet, there is always hope that McDonald's could bring back something even better.
