London’s Southbank saw a giant helter-skelter in the shape of a McDonald’s cold cup unveiled today to celebrate the launch of a new promotion called Winning Sips which will see millions of prizes up for grabs.
To help inject some much-needed joy during ongoing challenges like the cost-of-living crisis, McDonald’s is inviting members of the public to come down to Observation Point in London’s Southbank today to take a ride down the giant fairground favourite – designed to look like the refreshingly fun cup from the forthcoming promotion.
TV personality Olivia Attwood was on hand to face her fear of heights once again as she took to the towering 35ft ride, declaring the slide officially open to the general public.
Passers-by also got a glimpse of the former Love Islander handing out hot, golden Fries – perfect for a post-slide snack, as well as limited-edition McDonald’s merchandise ranging from bucket hats to limited edition coca-cola glasses.
The promotion comes as new research indicates that 86% of Brits admit to craving outdoor experiences after it was recorded that the first day of March was the coldest since records began.
Talking about the installation Olivia said: “Jumping out a helicopter in Australia was the most amazing experience of my life and when McDonald’s invited me to be the first to ride this giant slide, I couldn’t resist to get my thrill-seeking fix again!”
Launching on Wednesday 29th March, Winning Sips gives customers the chance to make the most of their sips and slurps by winning millions of prizes including £10,000 cash, menu favourites and limited-edition merch including bucket hats, towels and Coca-Cola® glasses when purchasing a medium or large soft drink.
Ahead of Monopoly® at McDonald’s returning with more prizes than ever later in the year, Winning Sips is sure to get customers bubbling with excitement this spring. Whether you like a Diet Coke®, a Sprite® Zero or a Vanilla Milkshake, every gulp of any medium or large soft drink will unlock a world of feel-good – simply peel the sticker on the front of your cup to find out if you’re a lucky instant winner, or head to the McDonald’s App for a chance to play and win.
Also launching on Wednesday 29th March is the Steakhouse Stack, a brand-new beef burger added the McDonald’s menu, as well as the long-awaited return of the Chicken Big Mac®.
