Starting today, have a Coke Float at McDonald's and think of me & under privileged children. May 26 ... The new-on-the-menu Coke Float and collectible glasses will be available at McDonald's starting from 26 May, today! ...
I alighted from my white and red coloured local bus, tapping out my EZ link card while my weary feet tapped onto the mortar ground. It was a dark Friday evening, and I ambled on to my dinner destination, unassuming. My dinner destination was a short walk away and I didn’t quite mind, although the air tasted warm and the quiet was barely a buzz or a chirp. Anxious to get back into a bit of air-con, I walked a bit more briskly along a stretch on Bukit Timah Road. Whoops, I was also a little late.
Yes, I know that Bukit Timah has a ton of fancy restaurants, but one of McDonald’s newest 24-7 outlets at Alocassia apartments on Bukit Timah Road beckoned. This is where I had to be.
Hence, it was an honour to be invited by Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, as they celebrate the former’s 125th anniversary by sharing their own birthday with a group of (much) younger underprivileged children. These 8 May birthday babies were definitely nowhere near 125 years old, and are currently being taken care of by two local charities – The Children’s Aid Society and The Salvation Army Gracehaven. To see them do this is actually better than fulfilling my childhood wish.
McDonald’s french fries, Coca-Cola and 82 very cute youth beneficiaries + family + friends + volunteers somehow all melded together into one big happy meal.
Now. Back to the now. Granted, no point crying over spilt milk, and so I slurped and sipped on the-exclusive-all-new-not-yet-released Coke Float with Steve and Tiffany, while knowing I was participating in a good thing.
I think its great that McDonald’s and Coca-Cola are giving back to the community. Coca-Cola also donated $5,000 each to both of the charities and the Ronald McDonald House Charities at the event – if I manage to collect $5000 on my next birthday, I promise to donate it to a charity of my choice!
Birthday presents seem to be early this year for everyone else too! For the first time in Asia-Pacific, Coca-Cola collectors can get their hands on a series of colored Coca-Cola can glasses, free with every large Extra Value Meal (excluding breakfast) all across Singapore. What colour do you like the best? (While stocks last.)
***PSST – Coca-cola is also looking for Singapore’s biggest fan. If you or anyone you know has the biggest and best coca-cola brand collection, please get in touch with me – there may be some cool prizes waiting for you.
Wow, your Coke Float is in regular size! Haha. It’s a little bigger in Manila. I was surprised that it’s “all new” there in SG. We’ve had for so long here, I basically grew up with it!
Haha thanks Dani! It’s Coca-cola which is turning 125 years old, not McDonald’s It’s so nice to hear from you again, I must go back to your blog more regularly, I was in the US for 3 weeks and with so much to do its been a while since I’ve visited! How is manila? How long have you been blogging for? Your posts are interesting! There are maaaany bloggers in SG, but they mostly just post photos of themselves and the content is quite random, really. Is it the same with filipino bloggers?
I’ve been blogging since college (around 3 years ago) but I set up my current blog just last year. Thank you! That’s really unexpected from someone I find really interesting. There are a variety of bloggers here, some like the ones you described. There are blogs that are solely dedicated to food or travel and a few other things.
My blog, that is. I am in the middle of working with some professionals on my brand new blog design and dot com, I hope for your patience in the meantime and with this basic stripped-down design!
Blemish balm cream, mineral CC cream, mineral CC pressed powder, lip gloss plumper and everything you need to put your best face forward.
Please note that I write about love and things that I love. With that in mind, if I love it I will write about it - but if I don't love it, I may write about it too.
