News: McDonald's to Give Away 5 Million McMuffins in Asia, Middle East, and Africa

McDonald's will celebrate National Breakfast Day this Monday, March 18, by giving away up to 1,000 McMuffins per restaurant at about 5,000 McDonald's restaurants across Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa. That's potentially 5,000,000 McMuffins being given away on Monday!

Sadly, the US is neither in Asia, the Middle East, nor South Africa, and as such, will not be participating in the promotion.

Over 30 countries are participating in McDonald's National Breakfast Day promotion including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, KSA, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, South Africa, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan. China is also participating in the promotion, but possibly for different reasons according to this Reuter's report.

McMuffin selection and breakfast hours vary per country (and/or restaurant).

Here's but a small portion of the huge amount of English muffins McDonald's will be toasting on Monday:

It's a lot right?!
