McDonald’s to finally launch ‘adult happy meal’ in the UK

The best news

One of the best parts about going to McDonald's as a child was the Happy Meal.

Not only would you get a delicious portion of chips, a drink and a burger or nuggets - you'd also come away with a new toy!

In recent years, the brand has stepped away from using so much plastic for the toys, but the joy of getting that something extra has not changed.

For those of us who are of a certain age, you will be pleased to hear that adults are soon going to be able to get their own special something alongside a meal.

McDonald's have announced they are launching a Minecraft Movie crossover in the UK.

The best part, though, is that the crossover means our adult meals will soon be coming with toys!

The limited-time promotion is set to begin on March 26, ahead of the Minecraft movie's release in April.

A Minecraft Movie Meal will cost £8.19, and comes with a Big Mac or nine McNuggets or four Veggie Dippers, as well as your choice of side and drink.

It will also come with one of six collectable toys that have been "crafted just for adults."

The toys are all themed around McDonald's and Minecraft, and they include the Grimace Egg, Zombie Hamburglar, Birdie Wings, Fry Helmet, Soda Potion, and Big Mac Crystal.

The McDonald's x Minecraft collab also features the Nether Flame Sauce, which is made with crushed red pepper, cayenne and garlic. It will cost £1.69.

Finally, the Apple Cake McFlurry will cost £2.19 and features soft dairy ice cream with apple and shortcake pieces and a sour apple sauce.

In what is sure to be sad news for parents, McDonald's have not announced any plans for kids' Minecraft Happy Meals.
