Masala Kadak Chai inspired by the emotion of Indian consumers 

According to McDonald's India, Masala Kadak Chai is inspired by the emotion of Indian consumers for the traditional beverage and it is made of brewed black tea and a mix of aromatic spices and herbs. Speaking about the new additions to the menu, Arvind RP, Director-Marketing and Communications, McDonald's India (West and South) said that the new additions have been introduced in the menu to "please the Indian palate", according to PTI. Arvind RP added, "Several studies and researches have highlighted that consumers are actively scouting for immunity improving recipes and products."

Meanwhile, McDonald's franchise has a long line of complaints about its ice-cream machines that are always "broken". Earlier this month, it was reported that the United States administration was taking the matter seriously and had ordered an investigation. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the Federal Trade Commission has contacted McDonald's franchise owners and are seeking information about the working conditions of these ice-cream machines.
