Haven’t we all said – at some point or time in life – “I wish I were a kid again.” Well, even when we don’t REALLY mean it, we do have a chance to go back to the “good old days” of enjoying the simple things in life.

Everyone remembers their first Happy Meal® as a kid… and the can’t-sit-still feeling as you dug in to see what was inside. That little red box could turn a regular Tuesday into the best. day. ever. And now, McDonald’s is reimagining that experience in a whole new way – this time, for adults.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration made exclusively for McDonald’s fans by the the Cactus Plant Flea Market, the new adult Happy Meal box will be available in-restaurant, in the drive-thru, by delivery or on the McDonald’s App starting Oct. 3, while supplies last.

So what’s inside the box?

  • Choose between a Big Mac® with 100% pure beef patties topped with fan-favorite Big Mac sauce, or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets®. They are also throwing in World Famous Fries® and a drink for the ultimate meal.
  • What’s a boxed meal at McDonald’s without a surprise inside? Open it up to find one of four collectible figurines made just for the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box – Grimace®, the Hamburglar®, and Birdie® are back and are now joined by Cactus Buddy!

“We’re taking one of the most nostalgic McDonald’s experiences and literally repackaging it in a new way that’s hyper-relevant for our adult fans,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “I can’t wait to give fans a unique piece of art and culture as we dive headfirst into the dynamic world of Cactus Plant Flea Market together next week. With menu favorites like the Big Mac and McNuggets at the center of this collab, this is another way we’re reigniting a new generation’s love for our food and the brand.”
