McDonald’s Happy Meals used to be a big deal for a lot of Americans. Yes, there was food, but there were also toys, such cowboy-clad nuggets and Hamburglar.
It became an occasion to score a new gadget because you never knew what you might obtain.
With the official Tuesday introduction of its adult version of the Happy Meal, McDonald’s hopes to capitalize on that enthusiasm. The new menu item, known as Collector’s Meals, is a combo meal from McDonald’s that includes six distinctive cups.
According to firm executive Morgan Flatley, the fast food chain challenges its patrons to chase the “undeniable thrill” of discovering an elusive design or finishing a collection in order to foster fresh memories that are inspired by the designs on the collectible cups.
“We’re giving fans a memory that they can hold in their hand by bringing back some of our most beloved keepsakes with a twist,” Flatley remarked. “These new collectible cups honor some of our most iconic designs and international partnerships throughout the years, enabling devoted followers to relive priceless moments and assisting a new generation in creating their own enduring memories.”
The new cups, their designs, and how to obtain them are explained here.
When will McDonald’s Collector’s Meals be available?
On Tuesday, McDonald’s Collector’s Meals and the six collector cups went on sale at participating U.S. outlets. They can be purchased via the drive-through, in stores, and online.
What does McDonald’s Collector’s Meal come with?
If you visit McDonald’s during the breakfast hour, your Collector’s Meal includes a hash brown, a steaming coffee, and a sausage and egg sandwich.
There are additional alternatives available if you order a Collector’s Meal during lunch. Customers can select between a Big Mac and a 10-piece nugget, with fries and a drink.
Since the Collector’s Meal is scheduled to be served throughout the day, “you can add to your collection whenever the mood strikes,” according to McDonald’s.
Which kind of cups are included with the Collector’s Meal at McDonald’s?
The artwork chosen for the fast-food chain’s new collection of collectible cups is a throwback to a simpler era when basic pleasures like childhood toys and McDonald’s for supper were commonplace.
The 1998 Cowpoke McNugget Buddy and the 1993 McDonald’s Dragster were two examples of iconic mementos that were “the heart of fans’ McDonald’s experiences,” and these were highlighted in the design of the cups.
“Did you not receive the 2000 Hello Kitty Crew Keychain?” The news release is written by McDonald’s. “Well, now is your chance – this time, presented on the new Hello Kitty collectible cup.”
Among the designs of the cups are:
Starbucks Coca-Cola
Greetings Kitty & Peanuts plush toys
Barbie with Hot Wheels
Collectible cups featuring Shrek, Jurassic Park, and Minions are given out with every McDonald’s Collector’s Meal purchase.
