McDonald’s in Japan will launch their latest novelty menu item: seasonal chocolate pumpkin fries on September 28. Classic McDonald’s French fries — but this time drizzled with pumpkin sauce and chocolate sauce, for that properly Halloween-themed punch.
While it’s unclear what the pumpkin topping is made of (or tastes like), there’s no doubt it’s a festive look. Japanese McDonald’s locations will start selling the specialty treat on Sept. 28, and they’ll leave stores on Oct. 31. This isn’t the first Halloween food that McDonald’s has tested out, either; in 2014, a burger with a black bun (dyed with squid ink) was also on offer in Tokyo, although it’s unclear if they’ll bring that back this year.
This also follows the introduction of Japan’s McChoco Potato in January, which apparently was enough of a success that it was worth tweaking the formula for the fall.
