Inside the Mcdonaldland Meal: Mt. Mcdonaldland Shake and Collectible Merch Revealed
By Sarah Jenkins
The McDonaldland Meal is organized around customer choice, following the format established by previous adult Happy Meal runs. Customers order either a classic Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, accompanied by a medium order of French fries and the Mt. McDonaldland Shake. The entire order arrives in specialized retro packaging that highlights the geography of the fictional kingdom.
The primary draw for memorabilia collectors is the included souvenir tin. Unlike flimsy paper sacks or standard plastic toys, these embossed metal containers serve as functional lunchboxes and display items. The designs feature vintage artwork from the 1970s and 1980s, highlighting classic characters:
- Grimace: Depicted in his goofy, benevolent modern form rather than his four-armed, shake-stealing 1971 persona.
- The Hamburglar: Clad in traditional black-and-white prison stripes, a wide-brimmed fedora, and his signature red cape.
- Birdie the Early Bird: Featured alongside her aviator goggles and flight jumpsuit, celebrating her 1980 introduction as the face of the breakfast menu.
- The Landscape Montage: A panoramic scene capturing Mayor McCheese, Officer Big Mac, and Mt. McDonaldland in full eruption.
Within hours of the August 12 rollout, complete sets of the unopened tins began surfacing on eBay and Mercari, trading at three to four times the retail price of the combo meal.
