McDonald’s has unveiled a new menu update, featuring the favourite order of one of Britain’s top music artists. In partnership with Stormzy, the fast-food giant has introduced its inaugural ‘Famous Orders’ in the UK.
The ‘Famous Orders’ initiative was first launched in the US, highlighting the preferred McDonald’s meals of celebrities such as Travis Scott, J Balvin, Saweetie, BTS and Mariah Carey, as well as YouTuber Kai Cenat. Now, for a limited period, ‘Famous Orders’ has arrived in the UK and Ireland.
Starting from February 12, fans of Stormzy and food enthusiasts alike will have the chance to enjoy his preferred meal. The special order includes nine Chicken McNuggets made with 100 per cent chicken breast, served with McDonald’s renowned fries and two barbecue dips.
For dessert, there’s either an Oreo McFlurry or a tasty Apple Pie, all washed down with a refreshing Sprite Zero. But the perks don’t stop there. Each Stormzy meal purchased in-store will come with a set of exclusive, limited-edition stickers, allowing fans to give their gadgets a #BigMike makeover, reports the Mirror.
Additionally, dedicated followers of both Stormzy and McDonald’s can get their hands on exclusive merchandise available only through the McDonald’s App. McDonald’s is set to offer fans the chance to win exclusive prizes, including 40,000 Points for a McDonald’s x Stormzy Tumbler, 15,000 Points for Limited Edition Stormzy Posters, and 4,000 Points for Stormzy Pin Badges. For those in Croydon, where Stormzy grew up, there’s an extra treat in store.
Croydon locals, who share their hometown with Stormzy, will have the opportunity to try his McDonald’s meal ahead of the national launch, with local McDonald’s outlets offering early access on February 10, as a nod to the artist’s roots.
Stormzy, the multi-award-winning artist from Croydon, expressed his excitement: “I am so gassed for my McDonald’s order to be the first ever ‘Famous Order’ in the UK and Ireland. Never thought I’d have my own order on the official menu. That’s mad.”
Ben Fox, McDonald’s UK and Ireland Chief Marketing Officer, said on the collaboration: “Stormzy is a McDonald’s fan through and through and a ‘true’ Global icon. This makes him the perfect superstar to bring to life the fact that no matter how famous you are, everyone has a favourite, go to McDonald’s order.
He added: “Introducing Stormzy’s signature order is an incredible moment for the brand; two icons colliding, giving everyone the chance to eat just like Big Mike at McDonald’s and, if they are lucky, to nab some exclusive branded merch.”
