McDonald's tests Blueberry McGriddles in Bethesda

McDonald's is testing Blueberry McGriddles at select Washington, D.C. area locations, including some in Montgomery County. The new McGriddles have the same sausage or bacon, cheese and egg fillings found in the original McGriddle sandwiches, but swap the maple syrup-filled pancakes for blueberry pancakes.
The blueberry pancakes retain the
McDonald's Golden Arches imprint
of the original McGriddles
This is a rare event, as the D.C./Maryland/Virginia area is rarely used as a test market for potential menu additions by fast food chains. McDonald's did test Mighty Wings at the former 4500 East-West Highway location in the 1990s. The chicken wings were introduced briefly nationwide almost twenty years later, in a fancier box than the plain white one the test wings came in.
The Blueberry McGriddle came with a
thick, folded scrambled egg, but
deletes the maple syrup filling found in
original McGriddles pancakes
Should Blueberry McGriddles be added to the permanent menu? Watch my review for my thoughts and a detailed look at the test item, which comes in sausage and bacon versions, and is only available during morning breakfast hours.

    That sounds so disgusting. I used to love McDonald’s. Their quality has really gone downhill lately. Deals in their app are really crappy now too. Except when the Nats win and score 5 runs is it and you get free fries?

    @ 1:00 - 1:25: "And here it is out of the wrapper you can see the individual blueberries inside the pancake also see a blue tint around but I don’t know is it syrup or is it blueberry sauce in there or something"
