McDonalds has tapped into millennials' love of Snapchat by printing a unique 'snapcode' on its cups.

The codes unlock a suite of Geofilters, and the most creative snaps sent to the fast food chain will be featured on its daily 'Story' online.

The Geofilters and Lenses will form part of its summer campaign, according to AdNews.

"Snapchat is all about getting creative and expressing yourself, so we decided to have some fun with our new cups," digital director Mark Wheeler said.

"They let Snapchat users visiting McDonald's access a custom filter or play with an animated lens right on our cups."

Maccas was the first advertiser in Australia to advertise on Snapchat, creating a Geofilter that turned users' faces into a burger and chips.

Food & Drink Business

Ferrero has gained more ground in the US through its acquisition of WK Kellogg for $4.7 billion (US$3.1b). Since 2018, Ferrer has acquired Nestle's US chocolate business for $4.25 billion, Kellogg's cookies and fruit snacks unit for $2 billion, and ice cream company Wells Enterprises.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) says it won’t oppose Lactalis’ proposed acquisition of Fonterra’s consumer and food service businesses, if the bid goes ahead. While it would see two of the largest buyers of raw milk combine, the ACCC says it is “unlikely” to result in a lessening of competition.
