"We are always working on ways to improve our Happy Meal and the introduction of cucumber sticks is an exciting step in this journey," said Head of Family Marketing at McDonald’s UK and Ireland, Marie Emery.
"It can be tricky to get kids to enjoy their recommended fruit and vegetable intake but customers told us cucumber is a popular choice for families.
"More than a third of children already eat it between two and three times a week, so we’re delighted to be able to offer it as part of our Happy Meal.
"We’ll continue to listen to our customers and give them choices that work for their families."
Happy days.

Sadly, they're only back for eight weeks so we'll be living in McDonald's until they're taken off the menu.
