Introduction to McDonaldland Meal
Remember Grimace, Mayor McCheese, the Fry Friends and all the other characters from McDonaldland? McDonald’s is hoping you do. It’s bringing back that imaginary world from the 1970s in the form of a McDonaldland meal that will go on sale on Tuesday, Aug. 12, according to a news release.
What to Expect from the Meal
It will feature adult portions, so it’s not a Happy Meal. But it will include collectibles that would appeal to kids or perhaps grown-up baby boomers and members of Gen X. Each meal will come with one of six tins that contain postcards and stickers and feature McDonaldland characters.
The meal will be either a Quarter Pound or 10-Piece Chicken McNuggets with fries and a limited-time Mt. McDonaldland Shake, which is a “secret concoction” with “vibrant blue lava” topped with a pink cloud.
Additional Merchandise
Sold separately, there will be tie-in merchandise in a collaboration with Pacsun. This collaboration is expected to bring back nostalgic memories for many, while also introducing the McDonaldland characters to a new generation.
Demand for Adult Happy Meals
In the past, so-called adult Happy Meals have sold briskly or sold out rapidly. Collectibles from last year’s Minecraft meal and 2022’s Cactus Plant Flea Market Box are going for about $7-$25 on eBay. This trend suggests that the McDonaldland meal and its collectibles will be in high demand.

Conclusion
The introduction of the McDonaldland meal is a strategic move by McDonald’s to tap into the nostalgia of its customers. By offering adult portions and collectibles, the company is hoping to attract not only kids but also adults who fondly remember the McDonaldland characters. With the addition of tie-in merchandise, this promotion has the potential to be a huge success.
