McDonalds Unveils New Smoothies at the Olympics

On Thursday, McDonalds unveiled its new Strawberry Banana and Wild Berry Real Fruit Smoothies at the Olympic media center in Vancouver. Golden Arches' executives showed off the new line-up of beverages along with gold medalits Cassie Campbell (US hockey), Shawn Johnson (US gymnastics), Picabo Street (US skiing), and Katarina Witt (German ice skating).

The two flavors of smoothies will be offered in McDonald's three Olympic restaurants in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia during the Winter Games for the next two weeks. As for them being made available elsewhere, the company is planning to have them on the menu in McDonalds' US locations by summertime as a part of its McCafe menu.

McDonalds has been a sponsor of the Olympics since 1976.
