Alabama Bama on Value Menus & DIY McShlurries – You Won't Believe This!

Published on: 10th September, 2025

Alabama Bama’s back in the house, and she’s spillin’ the tea on McDonald's bringing back that extra value menu! Thank the heavens, ‘cause with prices skyrocketing, we might need to start selling our plasma just to grab a bite out. Bama even hit us with her signature drink, the McShlurry—yep, you heard that right, tequila in a McFlurry, ‘cause why not? We also had a good laugh about some wild ideas, like snagging a McDonald's uniform from eBay to whip up our own treats—totally not a legal endorsement, just a Bama brainstorm! So, grab your snacks and get ready for some laughs, ‘cause this convo is a wild ride you won’t wanna miss!

Bama's back on the line, y'all! And let me tell ya, it’s a wild ride every time we chat. First up, we’re diving into the glorious news that McDonald's is bringing back the extra value menu—thank you, fast-food gods! Bama's over the moon, saying she’s been missing her 'McShlurry' (you know, that McFlurry with a splash of tequila)! Can I get a hell yeah?! She hilariously complains about the skyrocketing prices that make her feel like she needs to donate plasma just to snag a burger. Seriously, who knew a fast-food run could cost as much as a fancy sit-down dinner? We joke about her genius plan to snag a McDonald's uniform from eBay and whip up her own treats. Just a little light-hearted criminality, right? But hey, we’re not endorsing that, just having a laugh! Oh, and Bama’s got big plans with her Paula Dent rebate check—scratch-offs and press-on nails are on the agenda. Because when life gives you rebate checks, you gotta treat yourself!

Takeaways:

  • McDonald's is bringing back its extra value menu, and Bama is hyped!
  • Bama's McFlurry hack? Spike it with tequila and call it a McShlurry!
  • Eating out these days feels like you need to donate plasma just to afford it!
  • Bama suggests wearing a McDonald's uniform to make your own McShlurry—totally not endorsed!
  • Bama's big plans today include scratch-offs and press-on nails—she's living the dream!
  • Prices everywhere are rough, but Bama's humor makes it all a bit more bearable!

I thought I'd walked into the Applebee's.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, prices are.

Speaker A:

They're pretty rough everywhere right now, aren't they?

Speaker B:

Oh, honey, you basically gotta donate plasma just to eat out these days.

But I got one of them merlot hacks theft.

Speaker A:

If ebay happens to be a selling a McDonald's uniform, there ain't nothing stopping you from a putting it on, popping that counter and making your own Dang McHlurry.

Probation don't let me endorse nothing.
