The burgers were last sold in 2024 and feature a beef patty, Emmental cheese, onions, tomatoes and a smoky sauce. But there is one small catch. The burger will only be available to buy across stores in East Anglia. Tyne & Tees locals will also benefit from a menu refresh with the return of the much-loved Steakhouse Stack. Meanwhile, the Chicken Big Mac - a chicken version of the McDonald's classic burger - will be coming back everywhere except for East Anglia and Tyne & Tees. The burger comes with two chicken patties, a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce and Big Mac sauce. As well as these new additions, Mcdonald's is bringing back some fan favourites. These include the Spicy Chicken Nuggets, which come with a Spicy Chilli Dip, and Chilli Cheese Bites. Plus there's the Milky Way McFlurry and the Fajita Chicken One wrap.

Maccies is also giving customers the chance to customise their Sprite Zero drinks. They'll be able to add a pump of fruity syrup to the drink, which comes in the flavours Green Apple or Mango & Passionfruit. How to save at McDonald's YOU could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose. Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other. You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts. The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey. You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer. There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald's app, so it's worth signing up to get money off your meals. The MyMcDonald's app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up. You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you're a My McDonald's app user. The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details - otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats. The menu update does mean that sadly some items will be disappearing at the same time. Fans can say goodbye to the Chicken Katsu Wrap, Halloumi Fries, Toffee Apple Pie, Toffee Crisp McFlurry and Cheesy McCrispy. More McDonald's news The fast food giant recently launched a new game with free food and cash worth £10,000 up for grabs. Its new Side Missions will be around until August 25 and lets customers unlock special food deals. Plus, McDonald's also revealed another new menu item: the Double Filet-o-Fish. This new burger includes two crispy Pollock fish patties, along with melted cheese and creamy tartar sauce, all served in a steamed bun – just like the original.

How Joe Rogan's record-breaking podcast fueled infamous Area 51 'storming craze'
The most popular episode of Joe Rogan 's podcast has been credited with inspiring the viral movement to storm the gates of Area 51 in the summer of 2019. Netflix released a new episode of its 'Trainwreck' documentary that featured Matty Roberts, who organized the Facebook campaign 'Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us,' which saw two million people commit to rushing the Nevada base. Roberts said the idea came after he watched Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar, who claimed to have worked on projects involving the reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial spacecraft while staffed at the base in 1989. Lazar's viral sit-down with Rogan further detailed what he did at the facility, including his work on an extraterrestrial 'anti-matter reactor,' working on advanced flying saucers built by the military, and climbing inside a real UFO. The June 2019 has been viewed over 64 million times, the most of any of Rogan's episodes. 'I thought, 'Oh, my God, this finally explains the flying saucers stories,' Roberts said. Excited by what he heard during that two-hour interview, he sent out a rallying cry on social media on July 27, 2019, hoping he would find others eager to force the government to admit that aliens and UFOs were real. 'It just seemed like a hilarious idea to me,' Roberts said in the docuseries Trainwreck. After just three days on Facebook, Roberts' call to charge the gates of the US Air Force facility turned into an internet sensation. Area 51 has been tied to extraterrestrial lore for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted there since the 1950s. However, it wasn't until Lazar's 1989 interview with investigative reporter George Knapp on Las Vegas TV station KLAS that the classified base became nationally famous. Lazar has maintained for 35 years that he was a government physicist who worked at S-4, roughly 15 miles from the main Area 51 complex, reverse-engineering alien spacecraft and extraterrestrial technology. 'When did things get weird? At what point in time did you say hey this is not normal work like this doesn't even seem like it's from this planet?' Rogan asked Lazar during their 2019 conversation. 'There's this facility that is at S4. It's in the side of a mountain,' Lazar described. 'I went into the hangar door and in the hangar door was the disc, the flying saucer that I worked on. I saw it sitting there and we walked by, it had a little American flag stuck on the side,' he continued. 'I thought oh my God this finally explains all the flying saucer stories this is just an advanced fighter,' the engineer told Rogan. Even after that interview, the Air Force kept a tight lid on what was happening in the desert until 2013, when the CIA finally admitted Area 51 really existed. Daily Mail has reached to Joe Rogan for comment regarding Roberts' comments about the Lazar interview. Roberts revealed that his entire campaign just started out as a gag for the few followers he had on social media. 'Jokes are funnier when they're edgy. So, I'm going to make it sound like a real call to arms,' he said in the Netflix special. 'I just thought it would be a funny post for my page of 40 followers,' he added. 'I didn't think it would go anywhere.' However, the viral invitation quickly drew the attention of the US government, who took the possibility of two million people rushing the gates of Area 51 very seriously. The federal government reportedly spent $11 million reinforcing the security around Area 51 before the September 20 event. Roberts revealed that the FBI questioned him after he posted the event on Facebook. The military even warned anyone attending the gathering that deadly force would be used to keep the base secure. 'I had no idea what I'd started,' Roberts added. The small crowd began forming at 3am outside Area 51, and only 2 people were detained by police While the federal government and US military was ready for a showdown at the top secret base, it turned out that the public wasn't. Of the two million people who RVSP'd for Roberts' attempt to storm Area 51, only 150 people showed up. 'We're about to storm one of the most heavily guarded military bases in the world. Why? Because the internet told us to,' another attendee commented in the docuseries. Only a few thousand people traveled to the towns closest to Area 51, like Rachel, Hiko and Alamo, but they never met at the base. According to the new documentary, this came as a great relief to the roughly 50 residents of Rachel, who feared they were about to be overrun by more than a million visitors. Only half of the 150 people who showed up at the 2019 event actually ran towards the gates of Area 51 According to Forbes, only two individuals were detained by local sheriff's deputies, but a reason was not given at the time. While Roberts and the 150 attendees never got past the main gate of Area 51 in 2019, the site has continued to draw unstop speculation that the US government working with extraterrestrial technology there. Several of Rogan's podcast guests since the Lazar interview have stated that they believe UFOs are studied at that facility and others throughout the US.

The chef even divulged that Trudeau, 53, picked up the tab. The pair have both had a whirlwind year, from the pop star going on a space trip and touring to Trudeau stepping down as Canada's PM. Perry had been engaged to Bloom, 48, since 2019, and welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom a year later. Rumors had swirled that things had gone sour between the pair for months, with The Sun reporting in June that Bloom did not think Perry's Blue Origin space trip "was a good idea." Weeks ago, representatives for the couple told E! News that the pair have been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting." Right after the breakup news, Perry teared up on stage while performing in Australia. "Thank you Australia for always being there for me," she said, fighting back tears in her eyes. In June, Bloom was spotted with star Sydney Sweeney in Venice. The actress had also announced her split from fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year. Trudeau announced his separation from his wife, Sophie, 48, in 2023 after "many meaningful and difficult conversations," he wrote on Instagram at the time. The two married in 2005, and have three children together. More to follow...
