McDonald’s Happy Meals: US newzs- McDonald’s is channeling nostalgia with new “boxed meals” for adults that look like Happy Meals and include toys.
Driving the news: The limited-edition combo meals being released today are part of the fast-food giant’s collaboration with famous streetwear fashion label Cactus Plant Flea Market and are available while supplies last, the company said.
Why it matters: McDonald’s says it’s reimagining the “pure joy when you ordered a Happy Meal as a kid” with the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box to rekindle a “new generation’s love for our food and brand” among adults.
Details: There are two separate meals — a Big Mac and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets — each with medium fries and a medium drink, plus a toy order, McDonald’s told Axios.
- The box is available in restaurants, at the drive-thru, by delivery, and on the chain’s app.
McDonald’s Happy Meals with Toys
State of play: One of four figures is included as a “surprise” with the meal: three iconic McDonald’s characters Grimace, Hamburgler, and Birdie plus a new “Cactus Buddy!” doll
Yes, but: Pictures of the toys provided by McDonald’s show that classic characters with four eyes, like the cactus plant flea market’s smiley-face mascot Cactus Buddy, are getting a bit of a facelift.
Adult Happy Meal price varies
Meanwhile, McDonald’s said individual restaurants set prices for how much a meal costs.
Flashback: McDonald’s past collaborations with celebrities including Travis Scott, BTS, and Mariah Carey have helped boost restaurant sales and created buzz for the chain.
- The Travis Scott Meal, McDonald’s first celebrity meal since 1992, was released in September 2020 and led to nationwide ingredient shortages.
