McDonald's Happy Meals For ADULTs - Collector's Meal

[@PinkHeart89]

I work at a McDonald’s in Southern California and each box has 3 different cups. So the Beanie Babies come in the same box as Hello Kitty and Barbie.

[@crustyscab3634]

“im always wowed by the diameter of mcdonald’s straws” i love you emmy

Mickey D's has always had big fat straws.

[@stormwulf117]

I always use two straws to "double barrel".

I worked at McDonald's in 1980-1981 during college. There absolutely were coloring placemats with 3 or 4 crayons. We used to have to prepare all the high chair tops then cover with saran wrap.

Nostalgia from Memory Lane: I remember the first time my young son ate an entire Big Mac, knowing he was growing up and wishing I could slow down that process. He's now in his early 40s. Love your drive-through videos. 🤍

Used to love the Big Mac! I don’t eat fast food anymore but wowza, $11 for fast food is now as high as a sit down restaurant! Geez, Louise!

This nostalgia reminds me of when McDonald’s used to sell the calendars that had coupons each month for different items. Does anyone else remember? Were the calendars sold for $1.50?

[@amy_soucy]

Yes! I didn't recall until I read this, though. I remember my grandparents had one, and I would see a cut coupon and think, "They went without me." Haha.

[@bjdefilippo447]

They also had coupon packs for stocking stuffers, IIRC.

In the 70s, there were tall drinking glasses with McDonaldland characters on them. I used to have one with Grimace.

[@NatTakesOn]

Yep! They come in a long blue bag then they stuff that into the cup so you see the cup size but not what is printed on them!

[@Luniel11]

But they are sealed. It's the same concept with many of their collectibles toys/cards/items. They are sealed so you can't peek and will likely get duplicates meaning more purchases if you want to collect them all. Marketing 101

[@stephiek.3267]

That giant belch, lol! 😆 His name is Mayor McCheese. I'm happy the cups are plastic instead of glass. I remember being a little kid and scared I'd drop and shatter a glass.

[@asigwalt6098]

My mom was very proud of her Muppets themed McDonald's glasses. Until my sister who had a habit of biting the edges of cups bit through the glass on the lip of the cup and we had to remove the arc of glass from her mouth. I think she threw them all out after that.

[@Jdbye]

They'll still shatter. I know this type of plastic cup and they're very brittle, I swear they shatter more easily than glass and they don't hold up to the dishwasher well, sometimes they will just crack in the dishwasher.

[@oscarinacan]

The cups may be rotated at certain dates. I remember in the past when McDonalds were giving away glasses the designs or colors were sometimes changed out every week or biweekly or similar so in order to get all of the glasses you had to go there regularly.

[@Miapetdragon69]

[@kenbrandon6434]

I remember decades ago, when the had a 101 Dalmatians promotion, they had 101 different figurines in white bags so the customer would get a random one. As people tried to complete their collection, customers would come in asking for certain ones. We actually became very good at feeling the shape of the figures while staring at the poster/checklist. One might have a dog dish, another be sleeping, one might be a ballerina.

[@MrJaycrow30]

I know this may sound silly, but I like when burgers are served upside-down! That way the bottom bun doesn't get soggy and it's much easier to pick up/handle with less mess, in theory lol!

[@ShovaSG1]

I remember they had these Disney cups made of glass, almost sculpted or 3D on the sides, and my girlfriend at the time wanted all four. I dont remember how long it took to get all 4, but we did do it, and I still have the glasses. They were really nice, thick with some weight to them. These new plastic collector's cup seem really low effort in comparison to what they used to have.

Huh. Might have gone myself if the cups were glass. But plastic? Meh, I've got enough plastic cups. Thanks for checking it out for us, Emmy!

they're different because of the oil they use they use a different type of oil abroad (theyre worse in Japan)

[@Lv-nq9qz]

Its true, America banned a lot of Trans fat oils, and nut oil isn't used by most fast food places because of food allergies (except for 5 guys, cause they dgaf I guess). Germany probably uses the original oils and I think we use vegetable oil or something

[@stormwulf117]

McDonald's fountain Cokes tastes better than Coke at other places because McD has an arrangement with Coke to provide their syrup in steel tanks instead of those plastic bags in a box. Supposedly this makes the syrup arrive fresher.

[@erdiaz13]

Really? I recall bags but that could be someplace else I worked throughout the years.

[@yetinother]

They also had the recipe tweaked, so that's slightly richer to compensate for ice melting

Macca’s in Australia is giving glasses because we have restrictions on plastics. 😃🇦🇺. The glasses are etched, not printed, no colour. Ours cover 1976, 1993, 1997, 1999, 2000, and 2007, based on our previous collections including Grimace, Hello Kitty and Shrek.

I still have the glasses done for Disney World 2000, four of them. They’re square and the designs are in relief on three sides with Mickey as the sorcerer’s apprentice on the 4th side. I think McDonald’s started the whole collectible glassware thing, but BK and Arby’s jumped on the wagon too. I don’t remember who did the Star Wars glasses, but they had a removable bottom that lit up the foot of the glass in either red or blue. There was a switch to turn them on or off. We had those too, but I think they both got broken. However, I might still have one of the removable bases.

​@@emmymadeI'd say what is feasible. I'd say dubs or even subs for an episode featuring a particular country would be nice. I'm German and have no problem with English (I usually prefer the original language of works whose language I speak well enough... although there are films/tv shows where I prefer the German dub because of nostalgia or overly high pitched American voices haha) but I think German for the McDonalds Germany would be nice if somebody can actually make subs or dubs. I only recently finished A2 class in Spanish and that was about the Castillian standard and not its Hispano-American variants although our Venezuelan teacher at university also tried to explain some of the latter to us and went with us to Venezuelan restaurant. Hence, I cannot judge. However, given the number of Spanish speakers, I think it is a good idea to include it.

The fries in other countries are all fried in different types of oils. Example: UK: McDonald's UK fries are cooked in a non-hydrogenated blend of rapeseed and sunflower oil in dedicated frying vats. India: McDonald's India fries are made with plant-based ingredients and fried in 100% vegetable oil. There are separate frying stations for vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu items. Australia: McDonald's Australia fries are made with canola oil. Japan: still uses beef oil as the US once did. So Japan has kept the original formula to fry McDonald's Fries.
