When McDonald’s offered an adult version of its Happy Meal on its menu, it didn’t anticipate the incredible demand. While the popular burger joint’s customers were happy, many employees were not. When it comes to strange events that took place in 2022, it’s hard to top this. So what’s the deal, and why weren’t workers happy about the Happy Meals? Let’s jump in!
McDonald's released an adult Happy Meal in October. It was a partnership between McDonald's and the fashion and lifestyle brand Cactus Plant Flea Market. Customers could choose between a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal. The promotion resulted in two or three times the number of orders as usual.
McDonald's Adult Happy Meal sold out of boxes by 6 PM on the first day within days. Consumers were rabidly excited about reliving their childhood days.
