"Everyone likes a secret menu at a fast food restaurant, but sometimes there are items available that are not on the menu and are not technically secret, either. Customers have reported being able to buy everything from gallon jugs of milk at a drive-thru to the fudge cookie layer of a frozen Dairy Queen cake without the rest of the cake. One of the most popular items you can buy at McDonald's is bagged ice, though the restaurant rarely advertises it."
"The biggest downside to McDonald's ice is that it is not available everywhere and may not be available year-round. If you don't see any signs at your local store, you can simply ask if they have it for sale and what it costs. You might have to check a few locations before you find one. And depending on where you live, you might be out of luck entirely. McDonald's Canada once said on X (formerly Twitter) that they don't sell bagged ice at all."
Many McDonald's locations sell bagged ice, often through the drive-thru, offering a convenient option for parties and other needs. Prices vary widely by location and over time: bags that once cost under $1 now commonly range up to $2.59 for an 8-pound bag, while some locations offer two bags for under $2.50. Bagged ice can be cheaper than grocery-store options such as a 16-pound bag for $6.49. Availability is inconsistent and sometimes seasonal; some stores advertise ice in summer, others don't sell it at all, and Canadian locations reportedly do not sell bagged ice.
