McDonald's is easily the most iconic fast food chain in the world. But that doesn't mean they never feel the heat. McDonald's is every other fast food brand's top competition, which means they have to constantly be thinking one step ahead.

If it's felt like McDonald's has been coming out with one new item after another lately, you're not crazy.

In the same week, they also launched a spicy variant of its renowned Egg McMuffin.

"...Our expectaion is, as we continue to have more menu innovation...it has a positive impact on baseline, which is sort of the gift that keeps on giving."
Although McDonald's is shuttering their beverage-focused CosMc's concept, they will be adding drinks from the CosMc's menu in some McDonald's franchises, further diversifying its options. Ronald McDonald may get knocked down, but he always gets back up.
