A McDonald’s promo web page reveals that the brand new Happy Meal is a crossover with Cactus Plant Flea Market, a vogue streetwear firm. Instead of getting no matter toy McDonald’s is doling out for the kiddos, adults who order a Cactus Plant Flea Market Meal Box will obtain both stylized figures of McDonald’s mascots Grimace, the Hamburglar, or Birdie, or one in every of a CPFM unique character, Cactus Buddy. The promotion will run October 3 by way of October 30.
This information originated from a cryptic Facebook put up from McDonald’s through which the fast-food firm stated, “one day you ordered a Happy Meal for the last time and you didn’t even know it.” I’m unsure if the McDonald’s social media particular person meant for people to take this as some type of risk, however the truth that it simply left its message at that was ominous. It seems McDonald’s wasn’t getting existential concerning the fragility of the human physique, however the longevity of 1’s interior baby. Also foreboding, however appropriate for advertising functions I suppose.

That wasn’t the primary time scalpers have reared their collective heads throughout a Happy Meal promotion for teenagers. Safe to say, adults will solely be competing with themselves over CPFM’s Happy Meal toys as a result of I doubt any zoomers even know who the OG McDonald’s mascots are outdoors of Sir Ronald McDonald. This might be for the perfect, contemplating a Google search of the Hamburglar has a excessive likelihood of scaring them for all times in the event that they ever uncover McDonald’s disturbing 2015 rebrand. Yes, IRL Hamburglar is actual, and he’ll damage you if given the possibility.
Let’s simply hope that come October 3 we don’t get a repeat of oldsters making fools of themselves as they did in the course of the Rick and Morty Szechuan sauce debacle. Given how ugly these items are, frequenters of the clown delicatessen probably needn’t fear.
