McDonald's Brings Millennial Childhood Nostalgia Alive with New Products

McDonald's Happy Meals have been a staple of the fast food giant for decades, and have become an integral part of many millennials' childhoods. Now, you can relive some of that childhood with the Golden Arches' latest Happy Meal designed for adults.

Starting August 13, McDonald’s customers in more than 30 countries will be able to purchase Collector’s Edition cups celebrating iconic characters from the worlds of McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Mattel, Universal, Sanrio or TY Beanie Babies. They will be made of embossed glass or tritan plastic and feature some of the favorite figures from the childhoods of many Gen Xers and millennials.

Some of the featured mugs include the Grimace Mug, Pet Lovin' Barbie, and Shrek. If you've been wanting to relive some of McDonald's most iconic collaborations over the years, now's your chance.

“There’s an undeniable thrill when you grab that unmissable McDonald’s collectible or that final piece to complete your collection,” Morgan Flatley, McDonald’s global marketing chief and head of new business ventures, said in a statement. “These new collectible cups celebrate some of our most memorable designs and global collaborations over the years, helping longtime fans relive precious moments and a new generation create their own lasting memories.”

Before you head to your nearest McDonald's location, be sure to check your McDonald's app or local participating McDonald's restaurants to see if you can get a Collector's Edition cup where you live. After that, you can enjoy as much soda as your heart desires.
