‘Unsalted fries, no onion garlic McAloo Tikki’: McDonald's launches Shravan specials, netizens call it ‘glocalization’

McDonald's has introduced a Shravan Special menu for its Indian customers this season. The menu, which is only available between July and August, features vegetarian options such as unsalted fries, no onion and no garlic burgers, and more. The menu includes signature items like the 7 Veggies Burger, McAloo Tikki NONG Burger, and Mexican McAloo Tikki NONG Burger, all in non-onion, non-garlic variations.

The menu has divided the internet, with netizens reacting humorously to the new offerings. Some users questioned the extent of customization, arguing that it could compromise the brand's identity, while others praised McDonald's for catering to its diverse Indian customer base during the important Hindu festival of Shravan.
