McDonald’s is making Happy Meals cool for all ages with new menu items this October. That’s right, boxed meals come with toys.
restaurant chain announced partnership (via NPR) at the Cactus Plant Flea Market for new meal deals in October. Cactus Plant Flea Market is a fashion label focused on original streetwear.
From October 3rd to October 30th, you can order a Cactus Plant Flea Market Meal Box with one of four toys: Hamburgler, Birdie, Grimace, and Cactus Buddy, plus a meal.
You may recognize the first three names of Mickey D’s classic characters, but Cactus Buddy is the mascot of the Cactus Plant Flea Market. McDonald’s character looks a little strange, but one piece has his four eyes. Meals are packaged in boxes designed with CPFM style in mind.
CPFM x McDonald’s merchandise will also be available as part of this new promotion starting October 3rd.
Other McDonald’s marketing ploys over the years included Rick and Morty sauce and faked 5G cell phone announcements. If you like this McDonald’s news, check out the leaked design of McDonald’s PS5 controller, or the massive lawsuit over the restaurant’s broken ice cream machine.
