McDonald’s Corp. plans to soon retire the Big 'N' Tasty and is looking to add oatmeal to its national menu in January, according to a company memo obtained by Crain’s.

The chain is also slated to replace the Mac Snack Wrap with an Angus Snack Wrap in August and expects to discontinue its fruit and walnut salad once it begins selling oatmeal.

Frappes and smoothies will officially become part of the national menu on July 13, accompanied by a national advertising launch, according to the memo from McDonald’s executives to franchisees.

Oak Brook-based McDonald’s currently is testing maple brown sugar oatmeal topped with apples, raisins and cranberries and blended with cream. The oatmeal has sold for $1.99 in test markets such as Baltimore and Washington D.C.

McDonald’s added the Big 'N' Tasty to its national menu in 2001; the burger with lettuce and tomato was the chain’s answer to Burger King’s Whopper. But the success of the Angus burger, introduced last year, has eclipsed the Big 'N’ Tasty, Mr. Hottovy said. The old burger will be taken off the menu Sept. 1, according to the memo.

“The Big 'N' Tasty has been a mainstay of the menu, and it’s a bit surprising they are taking it off the menu,” said R. J. Hottovy, an analyst in Chicago with Morningstar Inc. “But the Angus has been well received.”

'twas neither big nor tasty.

Like Kid, its not hard and it only takes all of 2 minutes...

Christ Rod, your coulrophobia may actually run deeper than mine and I fucking hate clowns.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I can't believe that someone who lives in the Chicagoland/Northwest Indiana area has never been to a Wihte Catsle.

So what you 2 are trying to say is you eat them daily.
