I might test the McPlant waters some day.
We'll see...

McPlant failed.


The McPlant has been a disappointment in the United States since it launched in a limited trial in 2021. Just the fact that McDonald's (MCD) - Get McDonald's Corporation Report did not make the plant-based burger available nationwide suggested it always had doubts about how Americans would receive the menu item.

The plant-based McDonald's "burger" was always a tough sell as it's not vegan (it has mayonnaise and cheese) and it's cooked on the same surface as the chain's traditional meat patties. That made it a plant-based burger for people who were most certainly not strict vegetarians.

The chain has ended the pilot program for the McPlant, QSR Magazine reported. What that exactly means was not fully defined, but it appears that the plant-based burger is finished in the U.S., at least for now.

I never had a chance to try it.

It won't be missed. The McRib flew by fast too. I actually tried one and it didn't seem like the ones I had a few years back during its start.
