McDonald’s gets taken over by Minions
The Minions from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment are in one of the company’s biggest global promotions.
From the U.S., Brazil and Spain to China and Australia, customers of all ages will be seeing Minions all over McDonald’s. Minions, a prequel in the Despicable Me global film franchise, debuts in U.S. theaters on July 10.
McDonald’s markets across the globe are featuring promotions for consumers of all ages. In the U.S., starting July 7 customers (13+) can play like a Minion in the “Minion Mania at McDonald’s” game.
Customers who buy select menu items, including the Egg McMuffin sandwich, Big Mac sandwich and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, can win instantly free McDonald’s menu items, trips to Universal Theme Parks, digital movie downloads or Minions movie tickets.
In addition, customers can use the unique code found on most game pieces to enter online for a chance to win $250,000 each week for four weeks.
McDonald’s is also offering special banana-inspired menu items in select countries. In the U.S., customers can enjoy a new Go-GURT Low-Fat Strawberry-Banana Yogurt available in both Happy Meals and ala carte, and McDonald’s Australia featured fresh bananas for a limited time as part of its special Minions Happy Meal.
Banana favorites for other members of the family include a Banana Chocolate McFlurry being offered in several markets in Asia and the Middle East. Customers in Austria can enjoy a banana shake, while McDonald’s Brazil is featuring Minion-shaped potato cakes.
