McDonald's is launching a special Angel Reese meal — here's how to claim it
The fast food chain announced on Thursday (January 30) that it will be releasing a new deal for a limited time: The Angel Reese Special. The meal includes McDonald's signature BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with cheese.
The sandwich is paired with a McDonald's Medium fries and a medium Hi-C Orange Lavaburst. However, customers can order the special with another soft drink of their choice.
According to USA Today, the special will be available in U.S. restaurants starting on February 10, for a limited time. This deal also marks McDonadl's first national meal collaboration with a female athlete.
'McDonald's has always been a big part of my life, from grabbing a McChicken Sandwich as a kid to being named a McDonald's All American in 2020,' Reese said in a statement, referring to her part in McDonald's All American Games, which celebrate a future generation of basketball stars.
'It's really a dream come true to be the first-ever female athlete to have my own meal and be a part of McDonald's amazing basketball legacy. I hope the Angel Reese Special inspires young athletes everywhere to never give up on pursuing their dreams,' she concluded.
The Vice President of Marketing at McDonald's, Jennifer 'JJ' Healan also issued a statement, saying she sees the 'real connection between McDonald's and basketball fans.'
'We want to continue to fuel their love for the game and support athletes on and off the court,' Healan said. 'We're excited to bring our legacy with basketball culture to a new generation, and partnering with Angel is only the beginning.'
Reese's collaboration with McDonald's was announced as she's been in Miami during her offseason to compete in Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 women's basketball league. The league features 36 of the best players in the WNBA, including the two co-founders, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, whose teams played against each other on opening night, January 17. The games will run until March 17 and are being held in Miami.
McDonald's is welcoming a slew of special deals in 2025. The McValue menu, which includes a beloved $5 Meal Deal, has been extended until at least summer 2025. The deal gives customers the choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, a small fries, four-piece chicken nuggets, and a small soft drink — all, of course, for the price of $5.
The brand also has a 'Buy One, Add One for $1' special on the menu, where customers can buy one full-price item and then get a second item for $1. Customers won't have to get the same two items on the menu; they can mix and match two things from these breakfast options: Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, and Hashbrowns.
The lunch and dinner options for the 'Buy One, Add for $1' deal include six-piece Chicken McNuggets, Double Cheeseburger, McChicken, and small fries.

Ivanka Trump, a jiu-jitsu blue belt, to plan White House UFC fight
The first daughter will be involved in the planning of the historic UFC fight on July 4, 2026, a White House official told USA TODAY. President Donald Trump first introduced the idea of hosting the UFC fight last month while talking about special events around the country to celebrate the anniversary of American independence. "I even think we're going to have a UFC fight," he said during an Iowa rally last month. "We're going to have a UFC fight. Think of this - on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there," he said. "It's gonna be a championship fight, full fight, like 20-25,000 people." Seeing 'oceanfront property' in Ukraine, Trump's real estate history shapes his presidency The president is known to be fascinated with the sport, having attended three UFC events since his election in November. At the Republican National Convention, Dana White, the president of the organization, introduced him to the crowd. White told CBS Mornings that he had chatted with Trump about the event on Aug. 11, and was planning to visit Washington, D.C., toward the end of the month to discuss details with the president and his daughter. "He said, 'I want Ivanka in the middle of this,'" White told 'CBS Mornings.' "So Ivanka reached out to me, and her and I started talking about the possibilities." Meanwhile, Ivana Trump, also of fan of UFC - judging by her social media posts - has talked about her introduction into the martial arts. A mother of three, Ivanka Trump, said her whole family got involved after her daughter Arabella began taking jiu-jitsu lessons. "It's almost like a moving meditation because the movements are so micro," she said in an interview with the YouTube Jui Jitsu Channel. "It's like three-dimensional chess. I'll watch Ultimate Fighting and ... see some of these moves are so subtle. It's fun." Ivanka Trump, who served as a senior advisor in the White House during her father's first term in office, has kept a low profile in the first six months of his second term. But that might be about to change. Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy is a White House correspondent for USA TODAY. You can follow her on X @SwapnaVenugopal

The unexpected $1 item from Bunnings that's flying off shelves: 'I need it in my life'
Bunnings has sent shoppers running over an unexpected new $1 must-have item - with many saying they're already stocking up. The mini buckets have landed in stores, and customers are already obsessing over them because they are smaller versions of the 10L ($4.49) and 20L ($8.99). The 600mL tubs could be considered collectables - especially for fans of The Block where the bigger buckets are often featured on the hit renovation series. The tubs are perfect for basically everything small, whether it's storing knick-knacks, bolts and screws, tools, arts and crafts, plants or even collecting Halloween candy. The warehouse giant shared a video across its social media platforms, which has been viewed more than 650,000 times. Many expressed excitement over the miniature item. 'Who knew a mini bucket could be so useful? Love how versatile it is for storage,' one suggested. 'This mini bucket is a simple yet clever solution for everyday storage needs,' another revealed. 'Why do I need to impulsively buy 10 of the minis?' one said. 'I don't know what I need this for but I want it,' another shared. 'I need these! So cute! Imagine all the stuff I could do with them,' one added. 'Why do I suddenly need a mini bucket in my life?' another said, laughing. One joked: 'Is there a limit to how many one person can buy per transaction? Asking for a friend', to which a Bunnings employee replied, 'We don't have a purchase limit on the mini buckets, but they are only available while stocks last.' One person explained how handy they will be, saying: 'You will be surprised at how useful, out of everything on earth, a mini bucket is.' Many shared different ideas on how they would use the buckets. 'Lolly buckets instead of lolly bags for a Bunnings-themed birthday party,' one said. 'OK so I guess the kids are getting a Bunnings bucket of lollies with their Christmas gifts this year,' another suggested. 'I would use it for my storage like craft items, odd items etc,' another shared. 'I bought one for my toddler daughter to "help" me in the garden and she collects rocks and other interesting garden things in her bucket,' one added. Despite costing just a gold coin, many customers pointed out the mini bucket was missing one thing: the lid. 'Love them! Would be better if Bunnings make lids so we can buy for them too even if purchased separately,' one suggested. 'Lids would be awesome. They would be great for screws in the shed... And coffee, tea and sugar in the kitchen,' another shared. 'Do they come with lids? These would be perfect for my potting mix ingredients,' one revealed. 'If they came with lids, I'd buy so many,' one added.

WNBA's hottest star doesn't look like this anymore
One of the most in-demand and hottest WNBA stars has had quite the glow-up since the days of turning plenty of heads as a blue-chip prep prospect in Mid-Missouri. Through her time as a starter for powerhouse Rock Bridge, where the Bruins won a state championship every year she attended the school, then a straight shot down Providence Road at Mizzou, she has garnered plenty of attention both on and off the court. She was dubbed as 'The Mayor of Columbia' due to her popularity in her hometown, which doubled with opposing Southeastern Conference fan bases despising her. That synergy was only a preview for what she'd accomplish in the WNBA. That dynamo is none other than Indiana Fever bombshell Sophie Cunningham, who has never been more popular in basketball than she is now. Cunningham's team-up with Caitlin Clark put plenty more eyes on the 6-foot-1 guard, who turns 29 on Saturday. Shades of her college days played out in June in a game against the Connecticut Sun, further endearing Cunningham to Fever fans, while raising her notoriety around the league. In January 2018, Cunningham was involved in a fight as a member of the Missouri Tigers against rivals South Carolina. The incident became a fever pitch in her college career, with now Las Vegas Aces leader A'ja Wilson in her senior year for the Gamecocks. 'It's so fun because our league has drawn so much more attention... (and) once you get people there, they fall in love with the game, but they also fall in love with who we are off the court,' Cunningham told the Daily Mail in April. 'I like to go out there, I like to be competitive. I like to be a little bit grimy, a little feisty. But off the court, I like to be girly. I like fashion. I think you can do both.' And it was her feisty side that made headlines a few months ago, when her on-court grit thrust her into the spotlight again. Clark was prodded in the eye by Connecticut's Jacy Sheldon, who had previously been caught in a heated exchange with the Fever guard, before being slammed to the floor by Marina Mabrey in a violent moment that sparked outrage. Mabrey escaped with a mere technical, while Sheldon was handed a flagrant 1. But Cunningham wasn't letting it slide. With 46.1 seconds remaining in the game, Cunningham wrapped her arms around Sun guard Sheldon's head and pulled her to the ground in an act of revenge after her foul on Clark. Cunningham's first six seasons in the WNBA were arguably the first time since she started ninth grade that was not a focal point of her team. In year No 7, especially during Clark's lengthy injury absence, that is no longer the case. And from the offset she made a vow to the rest of the league: She'll back Clark no matter what. Or, as she put it, her job is to be Sabrina Carpenter to Clark, the WNBA's Taylor Swift. Carpenter opened for Swift on her Eras Tour, and Cunningham explained to the Daily Mail: 'Taylor Swift, Caitlin Clark, they're going to do their thing. They're going to have all the eyes, they're going to have anything you can ask for. 'But I just said I'm going to be the Sabrina Carpenter in the corner, being her biggest supporter, doing whatever the team needs... she does a great job of making everyone else around her better. (But) in order to win, it really does take everybody.' Cunningham added: 'We're not taking away from anything that she's done. We want to help her. We want to all win. And I think, let her be the Taylor Swift and we'll all be right there supporting.' She insisted that she would pass on all she mined over six seasons at the Mercury alongside WNBA legends such as Diana Taurasi. 'I've learned how to become a pro. I've learned what she does in order to be great,' Cunningham said. 'Caitlin is going to (get) there. But when you don't have that experience, sometimes you need someone to kind of lean on. So I'm just going to be there for whatever she needs.' Cunningham has come a long way since her start in Columbia, which included playing for Rock Bridge's football team, filling in during the Bruins' playoff run after the starting kicker went down with an ACL injury. Now, she's can't-miss television and a must-follow on social media, drawing plenty of eyes on and off the hardwood.
