McDonald's to give away 1 million free chicken nuggets tomorrow

Brian from New Lynn

It's often a Kiwi favourite, and now you can get your hands on some for free.
Tomorrow McDonald's
will be giving away one million free chicken nuggets to Kiwis for just one day only.
McDonald's is committing to the promise that was delayed during Covid-19 lockdown health and safety requirements in August.
Nugget lovers can get their hands on a free six-pack only if they download the McDonald's app and redeem the digital voucher in store or in the drive-thru.
McDonald's confirmed you don't need to purchase any other items to redeem the free six-pack.
The free nuggets, which first featured in New Zealand McDonald's in 1985, will be available tomorrow
at 9am until they run out.
McDonald's Managing Director Dave Howse says they wanted to give back to Kiwis are 35 years of them supporting the sale of chicken nuggets.
"It became clear during lockdown that Chicken McNuggets are a firm favourite so we decided to shout Kiwis a six-pack and celebrate 35 years of love for them.
"We're proud of our long-standing supplier relationships, and to offer Kiwis Chicken McNuggets raised in our own backyard."
More than 140 million Chicken McNuggets were consumed by Kiwis in 2019.
McDonald's annual chicken order equates to just over 3.75 million tonnes, all of which is reared by 30 farmers based in the Waikato region.
The nuggets are made with 100 per cent New Zealand chicken breast.
Chicken McNuggets are available in four shapes – the bone, the bell, the boot and the ball.
Some nuggets about McNuggets:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
