How are you spending Singles' Day? How about a R29.90 burger meal?

Every year on 11 November, people right around the world celebrate Singles' Day!

"What is Singles' Day?" we hear you asking.

Well, it's an annual celebration on 11/11 which dates back to 1993 when Nanjing University in China came up with the unofficial holiday as a way for single students to showcase their single status and socialise.

The four 1s in 11/11 represent single individuals standing alone. They also resemble bare sticks in Chinese internet slang.

The celebration has since morphed into a global phenomenon and to mark this special occasion, McDonald's is running a special on their regular Big Mac meals for just R29.90 - as a way to enjoy your own company and celebrate the freedom to do your own thing.

How do I claim the special?

The deal is exclusive to the McDonald’s MyM app, so you'll need to download and sign up for free to access it. You can download the app here.

Once you've done that, you can claim your Big Mac Regular Meal for just R29.90 (limited to one per customer). It's cheaper than a litre of petrol!

Please note that Ts&Cs do apply, but you can find all the relevant information on the MyM app.

Where to eat your Big Mac this Singles' Day

Cape Town's beauty is the perfect backdrop for a delicious meal this Singles' Day.

Why not head down to the V&A Waterfront, grab your Big Mac special, and sit on a bench and watch the world go by.

Better yet, head for an impromptu picnic with your Big Mac in hand - we are blessed with so many incredible green spaces and beaches in the Mother City.

11/11 is your one-day-only opportunity to choose Me, MyM & I and get a Big Mac Regular Meal for just R29.90.
