McDonald’s Offering Adult “Happy Meals” With Weird Toys
There was something amazing about being a kid and going to McDonald’s. Your parents would swing through the drive-thru, or better yet dine in and let you play on the PlayPlace that was for sure cleaned regularly. You would order a Happy Meal, and your day would be made.
Some grown-ups still order Happy Meals, but now they are getting one of their own. Sort of.

McDonald’s has a collab with streetwear brand Cactus Plant Flea Market for the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box. It’s definitely got Happy Meal vibes, just wider.
You can get a Big Mac or 10 piece McNuggets plus fries and a drink, but you also get the “box” experience. Opening the box will make you smile like you’re 7. You’ll also get a toy inside!
The toys… are… interesting. There’s Grimace, Birdie and the Hamburglar you remember from your childhood, but they are all four-eyes. No, literally, they all have four eyes. They match “Cactus Buddy“, the Cactus Plant Flea Market mascot, who also sports four eyes.

The collaboration begins October 3rd with boxes expected to go pretty fast. Plus they’ll have additional merch you can win on the McDonald’s app including shirts and hoodies. More deets will drop here on the 3rd.
Cactus Plant Flea Market, or CPFM, has been worn by the likes of Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. Yet, is still low key enough to not have a Wikipedia page.
McDonald’s is collaborating like crazy lately
This isn’t McDonald’s first high profile collaboration. In just the last several months, the brand has teamed up with BTS, Travis Scott, Saweetie and J Balvin selling slight variations of existing menu items. Until they bring back the Arch Deluxe, we will not be satisfied.
