McDonald’s revealed the Collector’s Meal release date on Wednesday via Facebook.
“In 20 years ur gonna be happy u collected all 6 limited edition cups. Collector’s Meal 8.13,” they wrote.
Beginning August 13, thousands will be able to get their hands on an array of retro-styled cups.
The themes for the plastic drinkware include Hello Kitty, Shrek, Barbie, and more.
Customers will be able to order the cups with certain items on the menu, including a Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwich meal during breakfast hours.
Additionally, the cups will be available with the purchase of either a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac sandwich and soft drink.
The collector’s items are said to be BPA-free and shatter-resistant.
McDonald’s Collector’s Meal will be available at participating locations while supplies last.
After the news broke, fans rushed to the comment section to share their excitement.
“I just want the Hello Kitty one,” said one Facebook user.
“I needddddd that snoopy one,” said another.
While many are excited, others are choosing not to lose hope claiming the cups will “be gone by lunchtime.”
“They have a breakfast meal with then too. Watch them be gone by lunchtime,” wrote one customer.
“It’s sad that these will be completely gone in about the first 2 hours of them being sold,” said another.
A third claimed the McDonald’s staff might take the merchandise before customers get the chance.
“And let’s see how many Mcdonald’s staff take 1st dibs, always out within the hour at our local,” they said.
New designs for collector cups
The new collector cups come in six designs, including:
- Barbie & Hot Wheels
- Coca-Cola
- Shrek, Jurrasic Park & Minions
- Ty Beanie Babies
- Hello Kity & Peanuts
- Grimace and other McDonald’s characters
NEW MENU ITEM
On Monday, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski revealed via Food & Wine that they were introducing a new burger after revealing that their sales had dropped during the second fiscal quarter of 2024.
The Big Arch burger sits at 14 ounces and consists of two meaty patties, a “tangy McDonald’s sauce, and “crispy toppings.”
The burger also includes three slices of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, onions, and pickles.
Kempczinski revealed the Big Arch was a “quintessential McDonald’s burger with a twist on our iconic, familiar flavors.”
While the Big Arch is available on the menu, it may be a long time before Americans can get their hand on the new menu item.
According to Kempczinski, the new burger is currently being tested in international markets, including Portugal, Canada, and an undisclosed third.
