Winter just got a whole lot cozier in the Land Down Under, as McDonald’s Australia has announced the return of its wildly popular “Nuggies” UGG boots as part of the fast-food chain’s “Boot Pursuit” giveaway.
Designed to look just like the crispy, golden nugget, the Nuggies even come packaged in a giant Macca’s dipping sauce tub with a peel-back lid for a delightfully on-brand unboxing experience.
The return of the Nuggies has reignited the age-old debate: what is the best Chicken McNugget shape? Is it the bone, bell, ball, or boot?
According to Liz Whitbread, senior brand manager for McDonald’s Australia, the boot has been crowned as the supreme dipping icon, and Macca’s “BootPursuit” giveaway is to celebrate this nugget-shaped masterpiece.
This isn’t the first time Macca’s has blessed us with these snuggly boots. When Nuggies first debuted in 2022 through an extremely limited promotional giveaway, the demand far exceeded the meager supply of only 50 pairs available, with more than 10,000 Aussies eagerly competing to snag them.
Unsurprisingly, the entire stock was completely depleted a mere 6 hours after launch.
Due to their overwhelming popularity and consumer demand, Nuggies have made a comeback, although scarcity remains a factor with a mere 2,000 pairs available for purchase during this limited rerelease.
How to win your very own pair of Nuggies
The giveaway runs from 9 am AEST on July 17 until 5 pm on August 6 where Diners have the chance to win their very own pair of toasty Nuggies.
To enter, customers simply need to find a boot-shaped Chicken McNugget in their pack, follow the QR code, and scan the McNugget. It’s that easy!
However, with only 2,000 pairs available, nugget fanatics will need to act swiftly to secure their spot in the draw.
Winter warming celebrations at Macca’s
The return of the Nuggies is just one part of McDonald’s Australia’s larger winter campaign which also includes new and returning menu items to keep you cozy during the colder months.
Diners can indulge in the Steakhouse Stack, Mozzarella Sticks with Sweet Chilli Sauce, Banana Thickshake, Banana Caramel Pie, and Banana Caramel McFlurry.
