After years of McDonald’s having Happy Meals for just kids, the multinational fast food chain has announced it will be officially launching an Adult Happy Meal.
According to reports, McDonald’s has joined forces with fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market and has come up with some special new packaging for its limited-edition box meals.
Apparently, the 4 collectibles will be ‘Grimace’, ‘Birdie’, ‘Cactus Buddy’, and ‘the Hamburglar’.
Customers who order the ‘Cactus Plant Flea Market Box’ through the app will also automatically be entered for a chance to score exclusive merch for free every week.
McDonald’s also released a statement earlier this week regarding the Happy Meals for adults.
In the official press release, the company said: “Everyone remembers their first Happy Meal as a kid… and the can’t-sit-still feeling as you dug in to see what was inside. That little red box could turn a regular Tuesday into the best. day. ever. And now, we’re reimagining that experience in a whole new way – this time, for adults.”
McDonald’s USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Tariq Hassan, added that the collaboration aims to “reignite a new generation’s love for our food,” and also said they are taking one of the most nostalgic McDonald’s experiences and literally repackaging it in a new way that’s hyper-relevant for our adult fans.
He added: “With menu favorites like the Big Mac and McNuggets at the center of this collab, this is another way we’re reigniting a new generation’s love for our food and the brand. I can’t wait to give fans a unique piece of art and culture as we dive headfirst into the dynamic world of Cactus Plant Flea Market together next week.”
Since the news has been announced, many McDonald’s fans have taken to social media and said they can’t wait to try it…
One person tweeted: “I’ll be there for sure,” while another added: “Finally an excuse to order a McDonald’s.”
The Adult Happy Meal will be available to order from October 3 through the restaurant, drive-thru, or through the McDonald’s app.
