McDonald's UK and Ireland added six new items to its menu in August, inspired by popular video games.
The new food included Black Pepper and Garlic McNuggets, based on the game Halo. These were made from chicken breast with a crispy coating and came in portions of 6, 9, or 20. Fans of Fallout 76 may have recognised the Blamco Cheesy Potato Bites, which were potato rings filled with cheese and served with ketchup.
A Fiery Buffalo Dip, inspired by World of Warcraft, was also available. It was a creamy sauce with a tangy, spicy flavour.
