McDonald's fans call for axed item to be made permanent DAYS before it's relaunched in the UK The purple-coloured drink will be added to UK restaurants for a limited time only READ MORE: McDonald's UK launches quirky drink that has taken US by storm By JOWENA RILEY Published: 17:32, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 18:48, 27 November 2024 e-mail 1 View comments McDonald's fans are buzzing with excitement as they anticipate the relaunch of a much-loved menu item in a matter of days. The Grimace Shake will return to menus in all 1,450 UK McDonald’s restaurants from December 11 after being previously axed. The vibrant, blueberry-flavoured milkshake, inspired by the iconic purple mascot Grimace, first made its UK debut in August , where it quickly sold out after going viral on social media. Originally a classic Stateside flavour, the Grimace Shake's creamy, unique-coloured blend has proved to be a hit among sweet-toothed Brits, and many have been eagerly awaiting its return. This time, the Grimace Shake will be available for only two weeks - or while stocks last - so fans are advised to act quickly to avoid missing out. Anticipation for the Grimace Shake’s comeback has already sparked a wave of excitement online, with fans taking to social media to share their enthusiasm. On X, one person wrote: 'The Grimace Shake is returning (for the first time in my country), I can't wait!' A second advised: 'So, the Grimace Shake is coming to the UK for a limited time. If you're gonna try it, it's a very sweet berry, vanilla bubblegum flavoured milkshake.'

The Grimace Shake will cost £2.69 for a medium or £2.99 for a large, slightly pricier than McDonald’s classic milkshakes, which cost £1.99 and £2.19 respectively. However, prices may vary by location, so it’s worth checking ahead at your local branch. Unlike McDonald’s traditional flavours - strawberry, chocolate, banana and vanilla - the Grimace Shake offers a bold twist with its blueberry-flavoured syrup blended into the fast food gian'ts signature creamy milkshake base. It marks a rare move for McDonald's to experiment with its milkshake offerings in the UK, though fans were treated to other limited-edition drinks, such as the Biscoff Frappé, earlier this year. Meanwhile, McDonald's announced plans to flood Britain's high streets with 200 new restaurants in the next four years. In its biggest expansion since 2002, the fast food chain announced in August a £1billion investment with a view to 'supporting successful high streets'. Originally a classic Stateside flavour, the Grimace Shake's creamy, unique-coloured blend has proved to be a hit among sweet-toothed Brits, particularly those on TikTok Anticipation for the Grimace Shake’s comeback has already sparked a wave of excitement online, with fans taking to social media to share their enthusiasm The rollout will test new restaurant formats, including smaller branches, and is set to create some 24,000 jobs. It follows a grim few years for once bustling shopping hubs with recognisable names vanishing nationwide. Yesterday, Ted Baker became the most recent addition to the scrap heap after the closure of its last 31 stores. However, the move will spark concerns amid Britain's obesity crisis, which costs the country £100billlion per year, according to a recent analysis. Experts have long blamed the nation's ever-expanding waistline on the rise of processed, calorie-laden food served in restaurants such as the 200 new ones which will be opened by 2028. McDonald's new £1bn announcement, made in a report marking the brand's 50th year in Britain, represents a marked increase on the £618million invested in the five years to 2023.

ROME (AP) — Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in history with 100 or more goals. But is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland’s brace wasn’t enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion’s winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi plays in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. “It’s a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I’m in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi.” The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoff round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City’s third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City’s second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn’t conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern, especially after Ousmane Dembelé was sent off in the 56th with his second yellow. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Charles De Ketelaere scored two and assisted on three other goals for Atalanta. Also, Arsenal kept red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres quiet in a 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon; and Germany star Florian Wirtz scored two goals and was involved in two more as Bayer Leverkusen boosted its chances of finishing in the top eight with a 5-0 rout of Salzburg. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Related Articles Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches.

Aston Villa had a stoppage-time goal disallowed as they drew 0-0 with Juventus in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.
