The Happy Meal is one area in which McDonald’s is always able to convince its customers to spend money, despite the fact that consumers all across the country may be complaining about the increased prices of fast food in recent months.
Its presentation screams “value” to anyone who is looking for a deal, and the internet hype machine has ensured that adults will pay $12 for, for example, a Cactus Plant Flea Market box that contains a McDonald’s character figurine. This is due to the fact that it comes with specialty packaging, a main, a side, a drink, a dessert, and a toy all in one.
Now, following closely on the heals of the previous Collector’s Meal that had tumblers with a nostalgic theme, it has been claimed that McDonald’s would be introducing yet another colorful and flashy menu item: the Crocs Happy Meal, which will include a small Croc slip-on shoe keychain.
This announcement has not yet been made by McDonald’s on its own. This unsubstantiated news was provided on the Instagram account @snackolator, which featured a picture of a Happy Meal box and ten distinct small Crocs keychain designs, all of which were McDonald’s-related in some manner. Illustrations of the Golden Arches, french fries, Happy Meal boxes, McNuggets, and other similar icons are featured on the so-called Crocs Clips.
The caption of the post includes a portion of the following: “Each one comes in the cutest little Crocs box.”
@snackolator says, “A big disclaimer that it’s possible the designs (and number) could differ in the United States, but the Happy Meal is definitely coming to the United States of America.” There is only the phrase “Coming Soon!” written within the picture itself.
McDonald’s has declined to comment on the possibility of an impending release; nevertheless, the Crocs Clips are already available with Happy Meals in a number of other countries. One example of an unpacking is shown in this TikTok video that was uploaded from Singapore.
Without a doubt, this is not the first time that McDonald’s has worked with the Crocs brand. The two behemoth brands made the announcement in November 2023 that they would be releasing a collection of “clogs, sandals, charms, and socks” that would pay homage to some of McDonald’s most enduring characters, including Grimace, Birdie, and Hamburglar.
Additionally, they would be releasing a pair of shoes that depicted the Golden Arches themselves, with Jibbitz shaped like the most popular items on the menu. The price of a traditional Crocs clog is $49.99, while the price of a McDonald’s shoe that has been customized may range anywhere from $70-75.
The fact that, in contrast to many of the cherished Happy Meal toys that were available in the past, there is not really any obvious way that you can play with a Crocs keychain is something that a few Instagram users commented on underneath the post that was made by that account.
According to this TikTok video, there is a pad of stickers that can be added to the keychains in the same way as Jibbitz charms can be applied to a genuine Crocs shoe. This does make the film somewhat interactive. After that, I guess you could put them on your fingers and go about with them, just like those finger skateboards that were popular in the past.
