McDonald’s Oreo McFlurry sales have been skyrocketing. Although the item isn’t part of the BTS Meal, here’s why ARMYs are adding the Oreo McFlurry to their meals.
What is the BTS Meal?
The BTS Meals is a special meal offered by McDonald's for a limited time. The meal includes a box of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets along with two dipping sauces, Cajun and Sweet Chili, inspired by McDonald's South Korea. Both sauces have different levels of heat.
The meal also comes with medium fries and a medium Coke. The price of the BTS Meal in the USA is around $9 USD. However, the price differs based on the delivery app and delivery address.

Why are ARMYs buying Oreo McFlurry along with the BTS Meal?
During "Bon Voyage Season 4" in New Zealand, BTS' V stopped by McDonald’s to grab a snack. Ordering food for the crew, V added an Oreo McFlurry to the order for himself.
The big breaker beef burger, five, please and a McFlurry. Oreo McFlurry.
The order gained an explosive response in New Zealand and was dubbed the "Taetae Set".
McDonald’s had already prepared for an increase in Oreo McFlurry sales, due to V’s strong influence as a member of BTS. A McDonald’s employee revealed a restaurant brief where workers were notified beforehand that the demand for Oreo McFlurries would increase “due to popularity with BTS fans online.”
Fans also noticed that the Oreo McFlurry was a top recommendation to go along with the Meal.
