Trying to find proof that McIce existed

I remember seeing an advertisement for McIce on a Perth McDonald's when I was a kid.

IIRC, McIce was a product made by McDonald's that was sold for 50 cents. What I remember was that it was essentially refill ice for your freezer, or for your drinks.

I remember last seeing these in 2012. Sadly, I can't find any images of McIce.

I remember McIce also being called in the early 2000s as MIce. (pronounced Emm-Ice, not Mice)

Yep! I remember McIce, was definitely called MIce at some point. Was weird but kinda cool (pun intended). It was just this big deal because who else sold ice for 50 cents? Those were the days, eh?

McIce? First I'm hearing of it. Are you sure you're not misremembering or confusing it with some other product? I've been around since the dawn of McD's in Australia and I reckon something like that would've stuck in my mind.

DUDE, YES McIce! It was totally a thing. Filled up many a cooler for beach trips with that cheap ice. Good times, can't believe they stopped doing it :/

Intriguing product. During my research into local business ads from the 2000s, I did come across various unique McDonald's offerings specific to the Perth market. While I don't have direct evidence of McIce, the concept of branded ice bags sounds familiar. As suggested, try searching through newspaper archives or reaching out to local history groups that specialize in retail memorabilia.

McIce? More like McNice try, mate. Never heard of it. Are you sure you're not thinking of Mice, as in the rodents? lol

Yes, McIce was legit. Def remember 50 cent bags of ice, not a common Maccas item tho. Seems like a Perth only kinda deal. Came in those generic clear bags with the golden arches, right? Your best bet is on an old-school forum or maybe checking out some archived McD's menus online. Good luck!

I kinda remember this, not sure if it was McIce or something else. You sure it was a thing? Memory's a bit hazy 😅

omg McIce! Total blast from the past. Pretty sure my mum still has some promo stuff from McD's buried somewhere in her house. Will have a dig around when I visit her next!
