Hi guys not completely sure how to word this but the franchise owner of the mcdonalds I work at has decided to do a promo at his stores on ANZAC day. Every purchase from his stores which includes drive thru, delivery, Cafe, front counter will receive a free packet of ANZAC biscuits with orders. The stores include
Hoddle Street
Clifton Hill
Brunswick
Stock is expected to run out by 8pm however it could run out much sooner.
Hope this interests anyone who plans to buy some maccas tomorrow. If there are any details you would like to know I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge. (We were told of this promo through a video posted in our store group chat)

      Shown in the video sent to us the brand of biscuits is called, "Aussie biscuits"

        ANZAC is a legally protected word. Use of it in an official or corporate manner requires permission from the Minister for Veteran Affairs. If a company is self-labelling their product as "Aussie biscuits" they are aware that they can not exploit the word "ANZAC" to sell their product and are avoiding doing so. And other people should not refer to their product as ANZAC biscuits.

          Here they are and they look to be compliant. How about you ask and see?

          • AustriaBargain on 24/04/2023 - 15:49

            @Clear: The packet of biscuits literally says ANZAC on it. So according to GordonD they are not compliant, they are dirty dawgs breaking the law.

              @AustriaBargain: According to the rules…

              The use of the word ‘Anzac’ in the commercial production and sale of Anzac biscuits is usually approved, however the biscuits must not substantially deviate from the generally accepted recipe and shape, and must be referred to as 'Anzac Biscuits' or 'Anzac Slice' (not ‘Anzac Cookies’).

              I have asked DVA if this brand has been approved to make all the internet justice warriors happy about some free biscuits.

              • AssociatedTylr Shoko @ McDonald's on 24/04/2023 - 15:53

                @Clear: Just to add on i was reading the website and they are labelled as for non profit not sure how that might tie to this though.

              • AustriaBargain on 24/04/2023 - 15:55

                @Clear: It contains the word biscuit twice but not in the context of ANZAC. Also the word ANZAC appears in all caps but it says it bust be referred to as "Anzac" in titlecase. I hope the DVA doesn't raid them and shut them down for these violations.

                • Clear on 24/04/2023 - 15:57

                  @AustriaBargain: Then OzBargain can say #wedidit and GordonD will be over the moon.

                  @AustriaBargain:

                  As the matter is regarding a third party, due to restrictions under the Privacy Act 1988, DVA is unable to provide further comments regarding the outcome of the matter you have raised.

                  Typical government response. I wonder if a FOI request would reveal anything.

          Fascinating. I wonder if you could call the label them as “Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Biscuits” without Ministerial approval.

          I just put "closed for ANZAX Day" on a lot of electronic signs, did I just break the law? Should I have put "closed for Aussie War Day" or something instead.

          • shmahoo on 24/04/2023 - 16:08

            @AustriaBargain: It's this kind of thinking that led us to things like "Happy Holidays"

    Its an acronym. They are not Anzac biscuits, they are ANZAC biscuits.

  • Legsweeping on 24/04/2023 - 15:28

    Good promotion!

    A packet is how many biscuits/grams?

    • AssociatedTylr Shoko @ McDonald's on 24/04/2023 - 15:45

      The packet is about 24 grams and has 2 biscuits in it.

    I forgot to mention but we were told that if a customer asked for another packet we should just give it to them, not a whole bunch though.

    for the record, the deal appears to be that the offer is likely to receive 2 biscuits with any purchase from this/these McDonalds stores

  • Chicken Kyiv on 24/04/2023 - 16:19

    well done to that franchisee, should be backed by head office for the rest of the stores

    Clifton Hill maccas is one of the most beautiful maccas in the world. Lovely art deco design. Just be aware of what's next door near the drive thru…

      Every deal here is free advertising. Unlike Pepper OzBargain doesn't charge anyone to post deals. Surely a member of nearly 12 years would know this?

      • Clear on 25/04/2023 - 00:52

        Alright dumb negger you want to challenge that?

        Anyone, including representatives of companies are free to post deals and comments on OzBargain. We do not charge anything to use this site.

    I spoke to Department of Veterans’ Affairs and guess what… Aussie Biscuits do infact have permission to use the word "Anzac" for their biscuits. That's for everyone who thought otherwise.

    I have spoken with my supervisor who has advised I am able to confirm that Aussie Biscuits do have permission to use the word Anzac for their biscuits. Due to privacy, I am unable to confirm any other details.
