McDonald's released a limited-time McDonaldland combo featuring a blue raspberry lava shake topped with pink whipped cream "clouds" and a collectible tin depicting McDonaldland. The packaging showcases throwback characters such as Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdy, and the Hamburgler. Reported prices vary by location, typically around $17 and ranging from $12.89 to $24, which triggered customer outrage. A YouTube reviewer called the offering "inventive" but criticized the high cost. The combo includes a medium shake, a collectible tin with postcards and souvenirs, and a choice of a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Many users described the pricing as monetizing nostalgia.
On August 12, McDonald's launched its new, limited-time-only McDonaldland menu: A combo meal featuring a blue raspberry lava shake with pink whipped cream "clouds," plus a collectible tin featuring images of the mythical McDonaldland itself - complete with rolling green hills and purple mountains. Also present in the meal's packaging are a host of throwback characters like Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdy, and the Hamburgler to name a few.
However playful, the meal has caused waves with customers and critics of the fast food chain, who are anything but happy with the meal. This is mainly because of the inflated cost - which can ring up around $17, though shocking prices for the fast food meal have been reported as ranging from $12.89 to a whopping $24 (depending on location).
In a YouTube review of the limited offer, @TheReportOfTheWeek shares their thoughts on the meal, sampling it in real time with the viewer. Ultimately, the reviewer concluded that while "inventive," the price is far too high. Aside from the super sweet, colorful medium-sized shake and collectible tin (which contains postcards and other "souvenirs"), the meal includes a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
