foodie: “Ever heard of the McLobster? 🦞🍔 Back in the ’90s,…”

Ever heard of the McLobster? 🦞🍔 Back in the ’90s, McDonald's tried something wildly different—a seasonal lobster roll sold only in Atlantic Canada and New England during peak lobster season. Introduced in 1993, it came on a hot dog bun with “lobster sauce” and lettuce. Sounds fancy, right? Turns out lobster + fast food wasn’t very profitable. Supply issues and high costs made it a flop nationwide, and the McLobster quietly disappeared. That said… lobster rolls still live on 🧡 You can find similar versions at select spots along the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic Canada (think Maine, Nova Scotia, PEI). Fast-food history is wild sometimes 👀
