McDonald’s fans are going wild for the return of iconic freebie – how to get one

MCDONALD'S fans are going wild after the chain announced the return of an iconic freebie.

The fast food giant as revealed that fast food diners will be able to get their hands on the popular Coca-Cola glasses once again from next week.

The chain shared the new-style glasses on their social media and fans were keen to get their hands on them, with some vowing to collect all three colours.

One said: "You know how I’m competitive- we HAVE to get every colour."

While another commented: "Still got the originals from many years ago."

A third wrote: "I'd love collecting the cups back in my days I can't wait till they come back again."

It comes as part of the recently announced Winning Sips game which is coming to all Maccies restaurants on Wednesday 29.

Customers who take part are in with a chance of winning free cash, free food or even free exclusive McDonald's merch.

The Monopoly-style game pieces will be available on stickers on medium and large soft drinks and milkshakes.

It will work in a similar way to Monopoly in that customers will peel it off to see if they've won a prize instantly, or an app play code you collect.

To get your hands on the iconic Coca-Cola glasses McDonald's fans will need to play their game piece code via the McDonald’s App.

You can download the app for free from the Google Android or iPhone app stores.

You won't collect game pieces in the same way as Monopoly though, and there are no Winning Sips stickers on food items.

Here's what you need to know about the game including how to play and what other prizes are up for grabs.

How do I enter McDonald's Winning Sips?

To enter the competition customers will need to purchase any medium or large soft drink - these include:

• Coca-Cola Zero Sugar
• Diet Coke

• Banana milkshake
• Vanilla milkshake

Game pieces are scheduled to be stuck on medium and large carbonated soft drink and milkshake cups at McDonald’s from 5am on March 29 until 11.59pm on April 25, 2023.

Customers then need to peel the sticker on the cup to reveal an instant win prize or app play game piece.

To take part in the app play game they'll need to download the McDonald's app on their smartphone.

When customers peel an app play game sticker, they will need to scan their code in the fast food chain's app to be in with the chance of winning. 

You'll be limited to entering just eight game entries into the McDonald's app so don't waste your money by buying more drinks than this.

Customers then have until May 9, 2023 to claim their free prize.
