But in a classic case of supply and demand, it looks like consumers are grabbing for the greasy goodies faster than good old Gilroy can supply the ingredients.
In a statement, McDonald's announced:
"In less than two weeks, our small, four restaurant test of Gilroy Garlic Fries has been a huge success, and we are now experiencing a temporary shortage of supplies. We are excited about how many people have visited our restaurants to try the fries, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
The news actually comes as a positive for the company, which is sticking to its promise to use only locally sourced, fresh ingredients for the fries instead of finding a preservative-heavy alternative.
McDonald's has plans to expand its new garlic fries to all 250 of the San Francisco Bay Area locations if the menu item sees continued success in its four starting locations.
Based on the first two weeks alone, we'd say that's highly likely.
A look at different McDonald's around the world:
