Rip to my wallet 😭

I gave up McDonald’s (horrible food poisoning) so this is an easy skip for me.

Plus this was totally spoiled months ago, so not surprised by this.

Oh cool! I get Happy Meals anyway (for cheapness and bc the amount of food is right) so I might swing by . . .

Will McDonald Uk be part of this?? We’ve already missed out on the last collab 😭😭

Hopefully we can just buy the toys after buying just 1 happy meal. Don’t want this to be like the Pokemon card issue in Japan. Unless this is just exclusive in one country?

Oh I’m gonna need every single one 😭😭😭

There will be a mixed response to this one, but I’ll add in my two cents. I’ve been a fan since 2017 (which omg at this point was almost 10 years ago). I was not too bothered by their partnerships with Samsung or MediHeal or what not back in the day because I felt that those companies ate their home territory and helped their image.

Immediately before the Pandemic, that partnered with McDonald’s. Honestly as an avid fan, I felt disappointed by that partnership because McDonald’s is the epitome of sleazy corporate America so, by association, I feet that partnership diluted their image as serious artists.

However, I think collaboration with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola in this current political climate is very tone deaf. These brands are wisely associated with a very serious issue globally, the protests regarding which are taking place in South Korea too. Granted, some idols do not want to take a stance politically. That had never been BTS though and they are also UNICEF representatives. At the very least, the smart move would have been to avoid brands right now that are the most politically inflammatory. On a personal level though, I just am a little disappointed that the artists who I cherished because of their messages of healing, self-love, and standing up against what isn’t right would turn a blind eye to an extremely important crisis that’s dividing the world right now.
