I've been using the Seven Sports App to watch live tennis. Great free app however they insert their own video ads. One of the video ads was Buy a Big Mac and receive a free small fries & free small soft drink. There is nothing in the ad that says how long this will last but my guess is that this deal will finish when the the Australian Open finishes (Feb 1). Only T&C is only applies after 10:30AM.

McDonald's doesn't have uniform pricing but according to the South Melbourne branch a Big Mac costs $5. Small fries are $1.95. A small drink is $2.35. Another location in Vic lists the Big Mac for $4.95, small Coke for $2.45, and a small fries for $1.

The deal isn't listed on their website but I'd assume there is signage in store. I took an out of focus video which you barely hear if you want proof an updated video. The screenshot is from the video. If I see it come on again, I'll see if I can record it properly. Updated Video using screen recorder.

From McDonald's Employee:

      A medium mac meal?

      • Commonwealth Pig on 20/01/2015 - 15:43

        free small fries & free small soft drink.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2015 - 11:25

        They're all medium.

    • CMI on 21/01/2015 - 01:20
      +4

      You can upgrade the size of the free fries and drink to medium for $0.60 and large for $1.20 (at least in Vic), they're just sneakily not making that part clear and want you to pay original pricing for the bigger sized meals. So a large Big Mac meal can be bought for $6.15!

      • spackbace on 22/01/2015 - 02:25
        +1

        Large meal was $6.55 here in WA, but yes I had to point it out the drive-thru operator that it wasn't $10.xx!

        Mods - Maybe add to OP that it can be upgraded (for the fee above)

  • THICKnSLOW on 20/01/2015 - 15:42

    basically a big mac value meal priced from the 1980's but with less burger.

    Nonetheless a win for your fat chunky-asses :P

      Yeah. The live stream used to be in the Australian Open app but not in this years. Looked all over the web for decent streams but then on 7 they mention you can watch live on their 7 Sports App. It's really good, 8 or so courts to watch. I've been screen casting from my phone to my Chromecast. Almost makes up for the lack of HD sports on TV (e.g. AFL, Aus Open tennis) from 7.

      • Pacolito on 20/01/2015 - 15:51
        +13

        Unbelievable, can stream all the courts! This is amazing. Hello streaming tennis all day at work… and no getting stuck watching token non-seeded Australians who somehow made it onto centre court!

      • SuperMatty on 20/01/2015 - 17:22

        Is this using iphone? I just took a look at 7Sports for android and a review of the latest version mentioned it "desperately needs Chromecast support", so I assumed that wasn't available yet.

        • neil on 20/01/2015 - 17:26
          +2

          It's in the Chromecast app (not the Seven app), it basically just mirrors your screen to the Chromecast. I think it's only for select Android devices. I'm using the OnePlus and works great.

        • SuperMatty on 20/01/2015 - 17:28
          +1

          @neil: ah fair enough, yeah screen mirroring isn't quite the same but it can be a decent backup plan when an app doesn't support chromecast natively. Cheers for the info.

          I like how you guys all expect everything to go fine. In reality, it's common that there will be no signs and no employee or manager has ever heard of the deal.

          I think back to the drop into maccas app from a few months ago. I show the checkout operator the app and she has no idea wtf it is and spends minutes walking around trying to find someone who does.

        • TheAviator on 20/01/2015 - 17:13

          they're bringing back the Mega Mac? Can't remember seeing that since the 90s! They also had a Mini Mac for a little while IIRC.

          @watwatwat:

          Yeah the instore signage and product knowledge is often really bad. Like you go and ask for one of those family bundles and you have to bring it up on the phone to show them, and then they go ask a maanger, and maybe they have it on the signage but they have to turn it over to see it.

          They have a couple of square metres of sign space but rather than just doing the logical thing and LISTING their frigging menu (like they USED TO) they decide to have this complicated manually rolling signs so no customer can go in and have any idea what the fXXX they actually sell.

          for those mega deals… they've always existed, they sell extra patties or chicken into your burger for additional 2 dollars or so.
