What if your crisp, fountain Sprite tasted like a sweet treat? TikTokkers have discovered a hack to get a secret menu item at McDonald’s: Cotton Candy Sprite. The trick to getting the

carnival-like twist on a regular soda is to order a Sprite and ask them to add three pumps of French vanilla syrup, which apparently will make the drink taste like cotton candy. However, the

catch is that you can only do this hack in-store because there is no option to add French vanilla syrup to a carbonated drink online or in the app. People online have been lovin’ the Golden

Arches’ secret menu soda concoction. EXPLORE MORE “This is the new hack for 2025,” one TikTok user declared. “I’m telling you, the way they reworking Sprite is amazing, and we are here to

enjoy.” A reviewer on YouTube shared that they enjoyed the beverage and didn’t expect it to actually have a cotton candy taste to it. “Wow. That is awesome. That is really good,” he said. “I

was not ready for it to actually kind of taste like cotton candy. It still tastes more like vanilla than cotton candy, but this is awesome.” An apparent McDonald’s employee tried the hack

himself after sharing that a customer told him about it. “It actually tastes like cotton candy,” he said, before making inaudible noises and writing in text on the video, “I can’t speak, I’m

so confused.” “At this point, I don’t even know, you just have to try it for yourself,” he added. “But it tastes like cotton candy.” Instagram food blogger @mouthattack also posted about

the viral concoction, saying that the “viral menu hack is quickly becoming a favorite for those in the know.” They described the drink as a “bubbly, refreshing drink that tastes just like

cotton candy—perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.”
