Great video! I tried looking for this Gudetama McFlurry when I visited Japan in late July 2018, but I guess the promotion was over by then. Seems like the only original thing is the cup, and this is a way McD can reuse excess materials from a previous promotion. I wish the McD's here tried more new items like they do in Japan.
Yeah, Ronld is always mixing things up and limited items sometimes come and go before you know... and they often underestimate the demand. I've missed many chances because of it :(
I like Gudetama, there is soo much merchandise for it. I thought the flavour of the McFlurry would be like a egg custard pudding Doryaki considering that the character is an egg yolk. Still loving this channel Mr! I appreciate your hard work ;)
Well it looks good. I wonder why we don’t do any exciting new things at McDonald’s ? ( I know I say that all the time) hey McDonald’s USA you need to shake it up!! Dang now I need ice cream 🍦
Critical Eats Japan we have Oreo and M&M that’s it never changes. They do have hot fudge and Carmel sundaes and cones. I have to say McDonald’s has very good ice cream Do you have anything like DQ?
@@balindabarks785 - They do (did) rollo candy flavor McFlurry, don't know if we still have it. The McDonald's by my grandparents' house used to have Velvet ice cream. So good! Oh, and they used to do a breakfast buffet!
Thank u so much for letting me know about Gudetama. Didn’t know anything about this character. I’m ashamed to say!! Great video!! Course now I wish I could try one!!!
Whatever the mystery flavor was, possibly caramel, I'm glad it was good! I was hoping for purin flavor, as I've always liked purin. I suppose that might be a bit gruesome for gudetama fans, though, because purin/flan is made from eggs! Thanks for the video, and have a great weekend! :-)
Gudetama is not mainstream here in LA, but is known to anime fans. He probably doesn't culturally translate as easily as things like Pokémon or One Punch Man. Another great review and nice music.
You are probably right about that. I mean even the fact he is an egg yolk is actually kinda weird... But there are Gudetama stores and cafes here in Japan. Not sure what their menus look like though ;)
Looks really good. Wish they would do different flavours like that here in 🇨🇦. Every year for Easter we have the Cadbury cream egg flavour. They did come out with a butterscotch with chunks of cake and caramel called butterscotch blondie. Was good but it’s not very often new flavours are released. Great video and thank you! 😎😘🍦
Normally we only have one flavour (Oreo) to begin with here, but once in a while they bring out promotional flavours. Probably similar to the Creme egg flavour actually
Critical Eats Japan Ah, ok. Here there is also smarties, Oreo, maybe coffee crisp? So we don’t have it so bad than. So you mean this McFlurry tastes like cream egg I’m assuming? 😉😊
That sounds so good. It is hot here in Texas, and a McFlurry with cake in it and possibly caramel sounds like a really nice idea! And Gudetama is adorable.
It was good! I once had a friend who always separated her cake from her ice cream ---she couldn't even stand them touching! So this might not go down too well with her...
Critical Eats Japan I actually agree with your friend. In most cases, bread should NOT touch liquid. I have an absolute horror of soggy bread, but for some reason, the flurry sounds good.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I've missed a few limited items in the past because they sell out so fast. McDonald's is way better than Starbucks at stocking enough supplies to give you a chance at getting something, but still, better safe than sorry... ;)
That would be a logical guess, but he said it wasn't pudding... and in Japan, pudding means flan. Though I'm not sure if they are gonna announce what it actually is or not
Critical Eats Japan larger than that. Same with frosty from Wendy's. I know most people love larger sizes, but I just waste it, or hand it to someone else, but more often I just don't get it.
That looks pretty good man. You gotta tell us once you find out the flavor. Question has Japan started putting touch screens to order in the McDonald's here in the US they are starting too
I wonder if they will announce it at some point. I haven't seen any touch screens at any of the McD's I've visited. Other places like izakayas or conveyor sushi restaurants often have ipad devices at each table by which to order
nihilistic egg yolk, I just shot water out my nose on that one....What is the reaction for filming in the store do you ask permission. I only ask because I am going to be vlogging more. Thanks Paul
It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. I usually just do it on the sly with my gopro... that's why the footage is so unstable and I have to cut most of it ;)
Just a top secret cheeseburger. I was wondering if anyone would point that out... I had a work function that evening and last time there was not enough food so I wanted to fuel up a little first... ;)
this morning with japanesestuffchannel they posted theirs was pudding flavor.. I think people like Gudetama cuz of his cute butt he shows off at times... ~nodnodnods~ thanks for another video!! and I want a happy meal toy!!!!!! ~stomping her foot~
Haha, yeah, they have 6 random ones you can get... I went there on the first day because in the past these things have a way of selling out quick. But I'm pretty sure this is not a pudding flavour because in the commercial where they ask Gudetama what flavour it is he says it isn't pudding. Thing is, in Japan, when you say "pudding" you are talking about a kind of custard pudding with a sort of creme brule/caramel-like sauce, so it is kinda close... though this was better ;)

I love the cups and the promotional material. That’s so cool! And of course the McFlurry looks great as well!
I need to check out Ronald's McFlurry menu more often... I may have missed a few good ones in the past
I like Gudetama, there is soo much merchandise for it. I thought the flavour of the McFlurry would be like a egg custard pudding Doryaki considering that the character is an egg yolk. Still loving this channel Mr! I appreciate your hard work ;)
I know, but he specifically said it wasn't during the interview segment... so... Hard work? This is some hard work I really don't mind! ;)
Well it looks good. I wonder why we don’t do any exciting new things at McDonald’s ? ( I know I say that all the time) hey McDonald’s USA you need to shake it up!!
Dang now I need ice cream 🍦
Never? You probably have more than one flavour on your McFlurry menu to begin with. All we usually have is Oreo
Critical Eats Japan we have Oreo and M&M that’s it never changes.
They do have hot fudge and Carmel sundaes and cones.
I have to say McDonald’s has very good ice cream
Do you have anything like DQ?
Oh wow, I thought you had a lot more. We don't have DQ though, but there are many places proud to be serving "the best" soft ice cream around ;)
We should have more promos like this one!
@@balindabarks785 - They do (did) rollo candy flavor McFlurry, don't know if we still have it. The McDonald's by my grandparents' house used to have Velvet ice cream. So good! Oh, and they used to do a breakfast buffet!
Very fun video! Love the channel.
Thanks so much!
Thank u so much for letting me know about Gudetama. Didn’t know anything about this character. I’m ashamed to say!! Great video!! Course now I wish I could try one!!!
He's big in Japan, but not so big elsewhere. Made by the Hello Kitty people
You would think I would know him if Hello Kitty marketed him. O’ will. I love to learn things even if it’s a McDonalds character.
Ya! Damn you beat me to vlogging this lol actually going out now to try it. Great vlog dude 👍
Hope you tried it, it was actually pretty good!
Interesting!
I love Gudetama, I mean he's just real chill 😂
Very chill ;)
The Japanese, must live vicariously through that character, lol, cheers!
It is a very well-known character. Unusual as it is
Whatever the mystery flavor was, possibly caramel, I'm glad it was good! I was hoping for purin flavor, as I've always liked purin. I suppose that might be a bit gruesome for gudetama fans, though, because purin/flan is made from eggs! Thanks for the video, and have a great weekend! :-)
Haha, yeah ---he even says it's not purin in the interview... but I think this was a close second

There was a popup cafe in LA that was him for a little while.
He is a rather funny Sanrio character. a lazy egg meh!

Critical Eats Japan Just checked McDonald’s 🇨🇦 website. There is M&Ms, Skor, Oreo & Butterscotch Blondie. Shows how often I go to McDonald’s. lol
Me too ---still, a few more I guess
That sounds so good. It is hot here in Texas, and a McFlurry with cake in it and possibly caramel sounds like a really nice idea! And Gudetama is adorable.
It was good! I once had a friend who always separated her cake from her ice cream ---she couldn't even stand them touching! So this might not go down too well with her...

Haha ---that's a little extreme ;)
No, not it's not. Soggy bread is the worst! :D
Thank You for trying this Paul :D
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I've missed a few limited items in the past because they sell out so fast. McDonald's is way better than Starbucks at stocking enough supplies to give you a chance at getting something, but still, better safe than sorry... ;)
It’s custard and caramel flavour. Yum!
Shucks....I was hoping for egg yolk flavor HaHaHa Looks good. Nice review.
When you think about it, that would have been kind of morbid for fans of this character ---probably why they didn't try it ;)
I assumed it would have been lol
Looks like butter scotch/vanilla lol. Still looks yummi 😋. Keep em coming 👌.
I'm not really sure what the difference between butterscotch and caramel is, but whatever it was, it was actually pretty good ;)
No joke, McDonalds Japan seems to be on another level compared to were I live. I'm envious when I see the promotional material on Twitter.
I just can't keep up with Ronald here... almost every other week it seems there is something new coming out ;)
Maybe it's a caramel-flan flavor?
Good review! 🤙
That would be a logical guess, but he said it wasn't pudding... and in Japan, pudding means flan. Though I'm not sure if they are gonna announce what it actually is or not
Yummm omg I’m looking for the pagoda video getting distracted
Haha!
That has to be the cutest thing ever. And I'm loving the size of it.
The size? What size are McFlurries normally?
Critical Eats Japan larger than that. Same with frosty from Wendy's. I know most people love larger sizes, but I just waste it, or hand it to someone else, but more often I just don't get it.
Came over from ericsurfs channel to give a sub, looking forward to watching more videos about food in Japan!
Thanks for swinging by! Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing!
That looks pretty good man. You gotta tell us once you find out the flavor.
Question has Japan started putting touch screens to order in the McDonald's here in the US they are starting too
I wonder if they will announce it at some point. I haven't seen any touch screens at any of the McD's I've visited. Other places like izakayas or conveyor sushi restaurants often have ipad devices at each table by which to order
good job buddy. do not know that character. know pikachu . looks pretty melty but caramel.. can't go wrong with that flavour :D
I think this character is more well-known in Japan. There are even cafes and shops dedicated to sell his goods...
A nihilistic egg yolk? Only in Japan!
Somehow it doesn't seem like it would work any other way ;)
Interesting as always lol
Ronald always has something up his sleeve... ;) Or should I say, Donald? As the Japanese call him...
I’m glad you tried this out for me. Wasn’t sure what it was made of
I'm still not... ;) But it was good!
Very nice what a odd character I guess kids love the egg yolk
Yeah, odd, and from the same company that made Hello Kitty
nihilistic egg yolk, I just shot water out my nose on that one....What is the reaction for filming in the store do you ask permission. I only ask because I am going to be vlogging more. Thanks Paul
It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. I usually just do it on the sly with my gopro... that's why the footage is so unstable and I have to cut most of it ;)
😂, so it’s caramel. Looked good, but I guess the mystery is what flavor. Judging by his interview😂
From what I could tell. Pudding sounds like a good initial guess, but yeah, according to the interview, it had to be something else...
sounds good,,
Thanks, it was pretty good!
Mcflurry looks good, real question is what else did you get? Saw that McDonald's bag there ;)
Just a top secret cheeseburger. I was wondering if anyone would point that out... I had a work function that evening and last time there was not enough food so I wanted to fuel up a little first... ;)
I like the cup a lot 👍
Oh yeah, they like to do that sort of thing with these types of promotions
He is popular because he is part of Sanrio and because he is
cute.
Haha, that is true. They Hello Kitty shop is half Gudetama stuff now too
McDonald's announced corporate layoffs in US, They could learn something from Japan McDonald's.
More promotional products to drive up interest! That does seem to be Japan's strategy
Was it like a flan maybe?
Similar, but sweeter and more caramel ---and in the interview he says it is not pudding, which essentially means flan in Japan...
I was hoping it to be creme brulee or egg tart flavor -_-
Yeah, that sounds like it should be the flavour they would go with for sure

Should of eaten faster so it didn't melt & maybe you could hsve seen it better, lol. 👍❤🍨
It happens. Still good though ;)
Why didn't you let her put the McFlurry in the paper bag? Lol
