It's true, folks — McDonald's now serves truffle seasoning for its fries

You no longer have to pay $8 and up for a plateful from a hipster café.

So on Wednesday, November 25, we noticed this quickly-moving photograph uploaded to local radio station 987FM's Facebook page:

It's now got an updated description, but initially, it said:

Vague enough to raise uncertainty, as evidenced by the comments that followed:

The two deejays who posted the image, Gerald Koh and Joakim Gomez, did make attempts at proving the veracity of their picture:

They also updated their post description to include what you see above:

Update: It's real guys. Not photoshop or an elaborate Christmas prank. Look out for McDonald's update real soon. They have a Christmas seasonal menu for you.

This is something you got to try at least once!

Thursday morning dawned with a flurry of McDonald's fans verifying this very exciting-sounding picture, though:

All right, folks, there you have it. McDonald's Truffle Shaker Fries are officially real, and in outlets — they've told us it'll be sold till December 30, and a pack of large fries with truffle seasoning (they only come in one size) a la carte will set you back by $3.25.

Now go forth, and truffle yourselves silly.
