McDonald's launched its Famous Orders in the United States in collaboration with Saweetie, BTS and Mariah Carey, and now, multi-award-winning artist Stormzy (also known as Big Mike) is making history with The Stormzy Meal—the first Famous Order in the UK and Ireland.
The Stormzy Meal includes nine Chicken McNuggets, fries with two BBQ Dips, and a choice of either an Oreo McFlurry or an Apple Pie, plus Sprite Zero to wash it down.
Stormzy fans will need to act fast since his Famous Order meal is only available for a short time in February. Celeb-curated fast food meals have become a massive success, with fans rushing to grab them before they disappear, turning limited-time offerings into viral sensations.
