McDonald's set to make exciting change to 2016 menu

Start counting down: Come 2016, McDonald's will begin offering $1 mozzarella sticks on its new national menu at participating restaurants.

This new nationwide trend began as a statewide experiment in New York, and apparently the people have spoken and we love fried cheese. Surprised?

Mozzarella sticks are not the only way McDonald's is changing its menu to better appeal to the public. Although the golden-arched mega-chain has recently faced some unfavorable numbers, the corporate staff is hoping that the mozzarella stick initiative will be a rung in the ladder towards some newfound success.

With all of the bad publicity our favorite fast food chains are getting lately, let's hope that this step will be one of many towards a more delicious (and cheesier) tomorrow.
