Making waves again: Thor Chocolate and McDonald’s McFlurry debut their first-ever collaboration

Japanese McDonald’s has launched a limited-time “Black Thor Chocolate McFlurry,” combining the popular snack “Thor Chocolate” for the first time. It went on sale at McDonald’s Japan on August 16. This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Thor Chocolate,” which is blended into the ice cream along with chocolate syrup and whipped at high speed to create a uniquely smooth yet slightly crispy texture, perfectly balancing the chocolate for a novel taste experience.

Thor Chocolate once sold out in Taiwan and became a hot item for daigou shopping, sparking a massive trend as everyone scrambled to buy it. Now, the “Black Thor Chocolate McFlurry” incorporates the chocolate biscuits and cream filling from Thor Chocolate, mixed with hardened chocolate syrup in rich ice cream, bringing the iconic Thor Chocolate flavor to life in McDonald’s McFlurry — a classic taste reimagined as an all-new product.

In addition, Japanese McDonald’s has also released a Morinaga Milk Caramel milkshake and a series of Pokémon-themed products, generating plenty of buzz. Travelers looking to try something different shouldn’t miss these when visiting Japan.

McDonald’s Japan keeps innovating with new products and continuous collaboration releases, making it hard to choose just one to try. This summer, when you visit Japan, be sure to give these limited-edition collaborations a taste too.
