Happy Meal For Adults: McDonald's New Collector's Meal Includes Nostalgic Cups

From Beanie Babies to Barbies, the toys inside Happy Meals have become just as much a part of the McDonald's experience as French fries. And now, adults can take part in the fun, too, with a Happy Meal of their own.

On Tuesday, McDonald's launched its new Collector's Meal. Included with the meals are one of six colorful, collectable cups that the company says are inspired by its brand collaborations over the years, including Happy Meal toys.

The artwork on the cups highlight past characters and collaborations like 1998's Cowpoke McNugget Buddy, the Hot Wheels McDonald's Dragster from 1993 and the 2000 Hello Kitty Crew Keychain.

"There's an undeniable thrill when you snag that one elusive McDonald's collectible or the final piece to complete your collection. We're bringing back some of our most-loved keepsakes with a twist, giving fans a memory that they can hold in their hands," McDonald's Morgan Flatley said in a release. "These new collectible cups commemorate some of our most unforgettable designs and global collaborations over the years, allowing longtime fans to relive treasured moments and helping a new generation make their own lasting memories."

Each meal includes a cup and the option of a sausage McMuffin with egg sandwich, hash brown and hot coffee during breakfast; and either a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or Big Mac with fries and a drink throughout the rest of the day.

Here's a rundown of the six cups, with descriptions from McDonalds:

• Barbie & Hot Wheels: The design puts a fresh spin on beloved Mattel toys that ignite our imagination.
• Beanie Babies: A homage to the Teenie Beanie craze of the 90s, this cup features some of the era's most beloved characters, like Golden Arches Bear (2004).
• Coca-Cola: Keep cool with a modern twist on classic Coca-Cola designs that celebrate iconic collabs with McDonald's over the years.
• Hello Kitty & Peanuts: From hanging at the beach to going on big adventures, the Hello Kitty and Peanuts cup embodies the joy of being with our best friends – and the McDonald's collectibles that remind us of those moments.
• Shrek, Jurassic Park & Minions: Inspired by the iconic film franchises, this cup highlights unforgettable scenes and characters we've loved for generations, along with the collectibles that brought them to life.
• McDonald's: The Grimace Glass. Boo Buckets. Funny Fry Friends. Our fans fell in love with these collectibles from the start. So, it's only right that we show love to these iconic keepsakes by spotlighting them on their own cup.

McDonald's is also offering in-person experiences connected to the promotion on Aug. 17: a poolside beach party in Santa Monica and free rides on the Phoenix Roller Coaster at Coney Island.
