McDonald’s Introduces Michigan-Inspired Beachy Slushy
Pure Michigan and McDonald’s have joined forces to develop a fresh frozen beverage. It draws inspiration from the sandy beaches and blue waters of Michigan. This drink is also a part of an exciting summer contest that offers prizes.
“A frozen mix inspired by our sandy beaches and blue waters makes for a refreshing way to keep it fresh this summer,” Pure Michigan said in a Facebook post. “Get yours at a participating McDonald’s of Michigan, and scan the cup’s QR code for a chance to win.”
The slushy in blue and yellow combines two flavors: Frozen Sprite Lymonade at the bottom and Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry on top. You can enjoy the Pure Michigan Mix for $2, no matter what size you choose.
There are also prizes up for grabs in the Pure Michigan Mix Sweepstakes. They include 180 four-packs of tickets to Cedar Fair Parks, which includes popular destinations like Michigan’s Adventure and Cedar Point. Additionally, there are 26 pairs of tickets to the Firekeepers Casino 400 NASCAR Race, 26 pairs of concert tickets (specific details about venues and artists are not currently available), and 48 McDonald’s Arch Cards worth $20 each.
To participate in the sweepstakes, you can enter online or scan the QR code found on a Pure Michigan Mix cup. It’s worth mentioning that these special drinks are exclusively available at McDonald’s locations in Michigan. Additionally, the sweepstakes are open only to residents of Michigan.
The Michigan-inspired slushy from the fast-food chain is bringing in a lot of excitement. You can see the excitement overflowing in the comments section of Pure Michigan’s Facebook post. One person commented, “That looks so good! I can’t wait to try it!” But there were also people who were hoping for some other Michigan-inspired flavors. One commenter chimed in, saying, “Why not a cherry/lemon? Being cherries being a big part of the state,” And they’ve got a point because Michigan is known for its cherry production. It makes sense to explore that flavor combination too.
Top 5 Reasons Detroit Shouldn’t Be On The Ugliest Cities List
There are some cities across the U.S. that look stunning, while there are others that make you want to look the other way. A travel site has compiled a list of the ugliest cities in each state. When making them list they considered lack of maintenance and poor design choices.
In Michigan, one can find several beautiful places such as those with lakes, scenic views, waterfalls, and more. According to Alot Travel, a travel site, Detroit is considered one of the ugliest cities.
Why did they list Detroit as one of the “ugliest” cities?
Though Detroit is on the up and up, the travel site said that “It’s got a reputation for being a bad place to live, and it’s also a pretty ugly place to live too.” They even pulled a comment about the city from a Reddit user that said, “I mean, just look at a satellite map of Detroit. Once you leave the i94, m10, i75, i375 rectangle (the path that Woodward takes), it gets real ugly real fast.”
Many Detroit outsiders think of the city and instantly picture post-apocalyptic images of abandoned vehicles and crumbling homes, churches, and streets. While others may see Detroit as an ugly city, we know where to find beauty beyond what outsiders may believe.
Despite what their list says, what makes Detroit a beautiful city? The city’s culture, sense of community, low cost of living, options for entertainment, its outdoor scene, make it beautiful. Not only is it located in the Great Lakes state, but there are also stunning places to check out within Motor City.
