OAK BROOK, Ill., July 17 (UPI) -- McDonald's Corp. announced it was canceling a free-sample promotion for its new fruit smoothies because it feared some U.S. restaurants would run out.
The Oakbrook, Ill., fast-food giant said in a written statement that its McCafe Real Fruit Smoothies had already proven to be a big hit, which could result in a run on them if the planned sample giveaway went ahead as scheduled next week.
