In news that's possibly the best EVER, McDonald's are giving away free breakfasts tomorrow. Yes, FREE.

The lads and lassies in all of the Irish McDonald's stores will serve up a Bacon and Egg McMuffin or a Sausage and Egg McMuffin until 10am – so if you're not an early riser you might want to set your alarm clock.

All 89 stores are taking part since the demand was so huge from last years's Free Breakfast Friday. A massive total of 60,000 McMuffins were snapped up in 2015.

What a way to welcome you to the weekend, huh?

McDonald's breakfast fans, get ready to be very disappointed because one of the nation's fave items his being removed from the menu.

The chain's big breakfast, a platter of scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and a toasted English muffin, has been axed -and it's causing some MAJOR drama. 

It seemed that the restaurant removed the item in the UK last year, trying to not make a big deal.

But alas, many have copped on now and they're not very happy:

Will you be sad to see this go?

McDonald's has been changing a lot recently, with many new (and whacky) menu items being tried and tested.

But it's latest innovation is something people are either going to LOVE or hate – and we're totally undecided.

According to Business First, the fast food chain is trying out a chicken and waffle sandwich. It's called the Chicken McGriddle and comes with a crispy fried chicken burger sandwiched between two maple-infused pancakes.

But if you're loving this idea, don't get too excited. For the moment the fast food chain is only testing it out in 11 locations in America. 

If the new sambo is a success there, it's going to be tested further (yawn) and then it might make the menu.

So, will this be something you'd like to see on the menu? We might even test this one out at home!

If you think the celebs completely cleanse themselves before and during an award show, then think again.

Last night, all the stars were served up some McDonald's. Yep, good ol' Maccy D's.

And it wasn't just a regular hamburger either, oh no, the fast food chain decked out and served them an all-day breakfast, including Egg McMuffins and hash browns.

According to Business Insider, interns were handing out the food backstage at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

Since McDonald's is one of the sponsors for the show, we're not really surprised it's dishing out its grub, but what we really wanted to see was a few stars chowing down on all the eggy goodness.

Forget the goodie bags ladies, we'd settle for a McDonald's anyday.

Irish fast food chain Supermac's has lost its fight with McDonald's… but to be honest, we kinda saw that coming.

McDonald's operates just about 34,000 restaurants around the world, so it's no surprise it beat Supermac's in a recent trademark claim.

Supermac's was bidding for a European trademark, but lost out when the American company filed a 41-page complaint to the EU's Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM).

In its decision, OHIM held up Maccy D's claim, rejecting Supermac's application because there's too many food items and branding that are similar.

McDonald's claimed that there was a "likelihood of confusion" if Supermac's was trademarked in Europe as they have a McFish, McToast, McCountry and other variations of "Mc" on its menu.

The inquest also found that both fast food chains had identical milk, meat and a "high degree" of similar seasonings.

“To the extent that both marks contain the element ‘MAC’, which may be perceived as a name or a nickname, the marks are conceptually similar. Furthermore, to the extent that both marks may be perceived as containing references to great or considerable size, they are also conceptually similar in that they refer to quantitative indicators," it was said.

“Taking into account the above mentioned visual, aural and conceptual coincidences, the signs under comparison are similar.”

But, speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, Pat McDonagh, managing director of Supermac's said that "the battle is not over" and he will not stop fighting to open the Irish chain in Europe.

Your next trip to McDonald's could be all kinds of glam, thanks to a new service the fast food company are rolling out this year.

McDonald's has confirmed that it'll soon be offering table service at many of its restaurants, meaning your Big Mac and large fries will be delivered directly to your seat by a waiter, after you input your order through a digital kiosk.

The service is officially being rolled out in France, Australia and Germany, with plans to offer it in over 400 UK branches by the end of the year, and another 800 next year.

Trends in the UK generally follow through to Ireland pretty swiftly, so we reckon it won't be long before you're enjoying a romantic night out at your local Macca's too.

Dublin Airport and selected other McDonald's branches in Ireland have already removed the need for queuing with a 'food collection service,' allowing you to input your order at the kiosk and collect it at the counter.

It theory it all sounds good, but we're not sure how those McDonald's waiters will cope with the madness of a Saturday night at 3am.

If you're a lover of the Big Mac, then it's safe to say that you love the secret sauce.

We haven't a clue what's in there, but damn, does it taste good. 

And now, to much delight, McDonald's is selling the sweet stuff by the bottle. Hurray! Your days can now be filled with secret sauce-everything. 

Ah, but of course, there's a catch. Last year, the chain store auctioned off a 500ml bottle of the dressing in Australia for charity, with bids starting at €16,500.

Since that was such a success, Maccy D's thought about bringing it to the whole world, but decided to just sell it in small bottles by the batch in Australia for €4.55. *Boo*.

If you're travelling to Australia, lucky you. If not, fingers crossed it will come over to our side of the pond soon.

Call us crazy but we are not sure we have ever desired a big bowl of chips topped with a healthy dollop of chocolate sauce. 

Nevertheless, McDonald's is giving us just that with it's latest concoction. 

In a move that may seem sacrilege to our official national vegetable, the humble potato, we would like to introduce the McChoco Potato.

Yep, envision a healthy serving of Maccie D's signature chips topped with white and milk chocolate sauces. 

Yum. 

"The salty of the potato, the taste of surprise sweetness of the chocolate source is applied, Please enjoy," reads a basic translation of the poster, according to Cosmopoliton. 

Because you know when you finish off your main of chips, you just want more chips for dessert right? 

Mmm, not so much. 

We may have had pizza for breakfast before and we have certainly mixed chocolate in with our popcorn in the cinema, but this may be one step too far. 

The dessert has only been rolled out in Japan so far and considering McDonald's strategy of rolling out new products in small regions to test reactions, we are kind of hoping this one does not go down too well. 

Would you give these bad boys a whirl?

It's been an exciting few months for McDonalds with a flurry of new menu items, like the gourmet breakfast, the abundance of McNuggets and new cheesy mozzarella sticks (YUM). 

But the two new additions to the Maccy D's family have proven to be quite controversial for a few customers. 

First, McDonald's in Japan introduced Truffle Fries. Now, we know truffles are mega-expensive so it's certainly one menu item we did not see coming. 

Many fans were excited by the new addition and caused quite the commotion on Twitter:

But then there was even more commotion when customers actually tasted the Truffle Fries. And let's just say, they weren't impressed:

Then, one McDonald's in California decided to bring back a dessert item that hasn't been on the menu since 1992; the Blueberry Pie. 

Once knocked off the McD's roaster because it was too unhealthy, the fast food restaurant in SoCal brought it back for a limited time only. 

We're not too sure about the Truffle Fries, but one thing we definitely would welcome back is that delicious crusty blueberry pie. 

Let's hope it hits our shores soon!

Ah McDonalds, a fine institution of all things fine dining.

Ok fine, the fast food chain are not exactly serving caviar, but really it’s only going to be a matter time.

After introducing 48-piece McNugget meals to the menu in Japan (we’re not even kidding), we feel like it is just a matter of time before that gourmet menu loses the run of itself altogether. 

It seems like sushi fanatics are already pushing for an interesting twist on some McDonald’s staples.

In a YouTube video, the Miami-based sushi chef Hiroyuki Terada creates futomaki using a McDonald's Big Mac. The concept is absolutely ridiculous, but we'd be lying if we said we didn't want to try it.

Thank you America, you have given us yet another reason to head to the golden arch. 

First, Hiroyuki cuts each bun in half horizontally to make them thin enough to form a replacement for the seaweed that typically holds everything together in a sushi roll. He then presses them together to form a thin sheet of bread.

After carefully arranging all of the Big Mac ingredients, plus some avocado, tomato, fresh herbs, spicy mayo and, of course, the iconic skinny cut chips, he rolls up his creation, unveiling a tightly curled Big Mac sushi roll.

Then he cuts them into bite-size portions and arranges them on a plate in such a fashion that we can practically hear the Instagram likes rapidly accumulating. 

So, to recap: Americans are making Big Mac sushi and Japanese nugget fans are living the dream of 48 piece McNugget buckets, meanwhile we are sitting over here dreaming of the day the all-day breakfast menu reaches our shores.

To be fair, the 48 piece deal is for a limited time only, but at least Japanese fans get the opportunity to experience the McNugget bucket.

McDonald's has made a move in South Korea that is making the rest of the world very jealous. Yes, the fast food giant is now serving churros as part of it's value menu. 

The cinnamon sugar-covered desserts have made their debut and as you can see in the ad below, they can also double as… a conductor's baton?

We have to admit, we're feeling a little bit left out of the loop with this one and are wondering when our churro moment will happen. Hopefully it'll be soon!

It seems that McDonalds is committed to giving customers exactly what they want.

The fast food giant certainly had people smiling when it was announced that  sweet potato fries would be introduced to the much-loved menu. The launch of a gourmet breakfast also proved to a huge hit. 

Then, the all-day breakfast menu was announced and we couldn’t believe our luck. Of course, the dreamy breakfast ideal has yet to be launched in Ireland, but we remain hopeful.

In attempts to remain the go-to fast food chain, McDonalds announced that 14,000 restaurants in the US will add mozzarella sticks to the menu. 

McDonald's mozz sticks

The best part: the price is $1 (€0.93).

The company is believed to be making the cheap – and delicious – new addition in attempts to reverse declining sales from the last quarter.

“We will win with our food,” said Mike Andres, president of McDonald’s USA about the recent struggle. 

Cheese-filled deliciousness for 93c sounds like a big winner to us.

Now, we shall just have to wait and see if these gloriously cheap snacks are going to make an appearance on Irish shores. 

Deep-fried goodness for less than €1? Oh, and let us not forget that they also come with a marinara flavoured dip. Fabulous. Just imagine the scenes.

Our lunch time snack options may have just been transformed, everything in moderation after all.
