What are the most popular McFlurry flavours around the world?
The most popular McFlurry flavours around the world are between the Terry’s Chocolate Orange (UK), Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (US) and M&M and Twix around Europe.
You might not have access to all flavours though, depending on where you are, so check your local menu first before you have your heart set.
Some exotic flavours like Pineapple Oreo is popular in Colombia, while Canada love the Creme Egg McFlurry.
Unfortunately, the UK doesn’t sell Bubblegum Squash, a favourite flavour in Australia.
But you can always count on Smarties and Oreo for being a fan favourite in most places.

Winford, his partner and their two children enjoyed a trip to Turkey all by playing and winning the McDonald’s Monopoly game.

“I was super happy, jumping around the work canteen telling my friends I’d won a holiday.
“I never believed we could go on the holiday of our dreams by playing McDonald’s Monopoly game but here we are. It’s absolutely amazing!”

What happens if you get both Mayfair and Park Lane?

However, McDonald’s has warned that restaurant managers can limit the number of stickers per order if they suspect you’re wasting food just to play.
You can find your nearest McDonald’s restaurant using the chain’s
How can I get a McDonald’s Big Mac and fries for £1.99?
You will need a previous McDonald’s receipt from a visit that’s no longer than 60 days old.
If you don’t have one, you can just buy a cheap item quickly to get hold of a receipt.
A 12 digit code will be printed on it and then you just have to enter the McDonald’s “Food for Thought” website and fill out a quick survey about your recent trip.
You’ll then receive a five digit code which is your voucher for the £1.99 offer.
The code can be used at any McDonald’s branch to get a Big Mac and fries for £1.99.
It normally costs £5.29 so you’ll be saving £3.30 through the offer.
Remember, don’t forget to print your receipt if you order from a self-service kiosk.
You can find your nearest McDonald’s using the locator tool on its website.
What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?
McDonald’s serves breakfast until 11am at all of its restaurants in the UK.
There are various options on the breakfast menu to choose from.
And you don’t have to always visit dine-in branches to enjoy a McDonald’s breakfast – you could get a home delivery through Just Eat, Uber Eats, Deliveroo or you could visit a drive-thru.
You can also download the My McDonald’s app onto a smartphone and order food for delivery or pick-up at one of its restaurants directly with the chain.
You don’t just have to dine in when you visit either, simply choose a walk-in takeaway and you can dine al fresco at restaurants that have seating outdoors if you fancy.
How does McDonald’s drive-thru work?
McDonald’s drive-thru option is available as long as the restaurant is open, just drive into the right lane and place your order to go.
Some are open 24 hours but this can vary between locations, with some closing at 10pm or 11pm.
McDonald’s also delivers food to your car so you can skip the drive-thru queue altogether.
You can use the My McDonald’s app to pre-order your food and pick it up by parking in one of the allocated bays for collection.
What options are the McDonald’s breakfast menu?
You can check out the breakfast menu on the McDonald’s website, from the McMuffin range, to pancakes and a cheesy bacon flatbread.

McDonalds introduces new twist
McDonalds have introduced a new twist to the Monopoly game this year.
Now, customers have the opportunity to trade in their peels for another ‘more frequently found property’ or swap it for an entry into the £100k prize draw.
The choice is yours.
When McDonald’s Monopoly ends
McDonald’s Monopoly usually runs for six weeks. This year it is running until October 17.
We have approached McDonald’s to find out how long the game is lasting this time around and we will update this story when we have heard back.
Meanwhile, a McDonald’s expert has revealed three free ways to increase your chances of winning a top prize.
Plus, here is a full list of prizes for this year’s McDonald’s Monopoly, including £100k cash and “gold cards”.
What is available on the McDonald’s vegetarian and vegan menu?

Here are some of the veggie or vegan options on the McDonald’s menu:
- McPlant burger
- The Spicy Veggie One
- Vegetable Deluxe
- Veggie Dippers
- Hash Brown
- Fries
- Pancakes
- Porridge
- McFlurry
- Hot drinks and fizzy drinks
What plant-based choice do you plan on trying?
Who owns McDonald’s?
McDonald’s has been a key part of millions of Brit’s lives for decades now.
But who owns the legendary restaurant chain?
McDonald’s has been owned by Kroc, set up by Ray Kroc, since April 1955.
Ray Kroc was an American businessman, who went into partnership with the McDonald brothers in 1955.
What are McDonald's Happy Meals?
The McDonald’s Happy Meal is aimed at children and contains a main, side and drink.
For the main, you can pick from a hamburger, cheeseburger, fish fingers, veggie dippers or four McNuggets.
The side is either a bag of carrots, fries or fruit.
You can pick one up for £2.59, depending on where you are – if you order in branch or for delivery.
Maccies regularly changes its Happy Meal toys so customers can pick up different figurines across the year.
In the past the meal has come with Dreamworks-themed and Mr Men-themed toys.
Sign up to the McDonald’s Loyalty app to improve chances of winning
Through the McDonald’s Rewards scheme you get one point for every penny you spend.
Once you reach 1,500 points you can redeem your first reward.
1,500 points gets you small fries, a medium salad and more.
But if you’re signed up to the scheme you also get a code for a free bonus peel for Monopoly.
The peel is sent to the email address you set your account up with.
Can you still get McDonald’s Monopoly boards?
Mcdonald’s first started the game in 2005 and in order to play the customers would need to stick their prizes onto the board.
In previous years the fast food chain has given away free boards to customers who wanted to play McDonald’s monopoly.
However, they stopped this in 2021 and made it possible for customers to play along online.
Less people relied on using the boards and moved to online as it made it easier to cash in on some instant wins.
To claim your food or drink items on the instant win tickets you would have to keep them separate and bring them to the restaurant with you in order to get your prize.
Top tip: Play when the restaurant isn’t busy
To increase your chances of winning, you should go to McDonald’s during quiet hours.
This is because there are only two cash prizes available per minute.
Lunch and dinner time are particularly busy – the more people playing, the less chance there is to win.
How does McDonald’s Monopoly work?
The game works similarly to traditional Monopoly.
Customers collect game pieces when they buy qualifying McDonald’s products, such as colour co-ordinated road names or train stations.
You’ll be able to find them as stickers which appear on the packaging of your food.
Each menu item has the chance of giving you a different prize.
These range from food, to massive cash prizes.
