Treat

Hi

Some people see places like McDonald's as a treat ...

--- Does "treat" here mean "pleasure" or a "present"?
  

Top answer

Yes, that's right. A treat can be something tangible, like a piece of candy, a slice of pie, or a bowl of ice cream; it can also be an even, such as a meal at the Golden Arches. We also use the verb to indicate that one person is doing something for another: I'm thirsty.
