Looking for a free pick-me-up this afternoon? McDonald’s locations across Houston are giving customers a reason to stop by.
Today, Friday, May 22, from 4 to 7 PM, you can head into participating McDonald’s restaurants and get a free sample of the “Dirty Dr Pepper,” one of the newest additions to the brand’s specialty drink lineup.
No purchase is necessary—just walk inside and ask for your sample. Keep in mind that this offer is only available in-store (not at the drive-thru), and it’s limited to one per person while supplies last.
The giveaway is part of a week-long promotion introducing a mix of bold crafted sodas and refreshers. If you’ve been curious about the new drinks, this is an easy—and free—way to try one.
And if you can’t make it today, there’s still one more chance tomorrow with a different featured flavor.
For now, consider your late afternoon plans handled.
Swipe through the new McDonald’s specialty drinks lineup, from fruity refreshers to sweet crafted sodas.
