ADPD Leader Sandra Gauci Approves of Nutella McFlurry

Jul 22 2024

Amid a hectic schedule leading the ADPD, Chairperson Sandra Gauci took a moment to enjoy McDonald’s latest dessert — the Nutella McFlurry.

Gauci shared her experience on Instagram, expressing her newfound appreciation for the chain’s sweet treats, writing “McD desserts are grossly underestimated. 9/10.”

Gauci’s endorsement highlights the often-overlooked quality of McDonald’s desserts, calling for more recognition of the Golden Arches’ sweet treats and, having tasted the McFlurry prepared with Nutella ourselves, we agree.

Her busy role as ADPD Chairperson did not deter her from indulging in a well-deserved moment of McFlurry goodness and being honest, we look forward to more food reviews from Sandra Gauci.
