McDonald's 1% Low Fat Milk Jug Complete Information
A McDonald's 1% Low Fat Milk Jug costs $1.99 and carries 100 calories with 8g of protein, which makes it the only drink on the McDonald's menu with meaningful protein in it.
That protein figure is the whole argument for it. Every other drink on the board carries either sugar, caffeine or nothing at all; this one carries 8g of protein for 100 calories, which is more than a 15 calorie bag of Apple Slices and roughly half a Hamburger's protein in a drink. It is the default Happy Meal drink for exactly that reason, and it costs the same inside the box as the juice box that carries none. The $1.99 reduced sugar chocolate version is the one that converts children who refuse plain milk. Pair it with a Hamburger Happy Meal at $5.89.
