The reverse side of the paper lid doubles as a sticker sheet, and that’s where the fun begins. “Fries then fruit or fruit then fries – the choice is yours, but you better eat both.” Only, if Ronald said that, it would rhyme. He looks like he’s preemptively admonishing any would-be fruit-skippers.
I love Ronald’s “now don’t you forget” pose on the apple bag. I know they’ve been in Happy Meals for a while, but I’ll never get used to seeing fruit in what was historically a pile of everything but fruit. I’m still fascinated by the apple slices. That’s because it sat in my car for almost five hours yesterday.Įver notice how when you hold a past-its-prime McDonald’s cheeseburger, you do so in the same way you’d hold a dead hamster? How you’re super careful not to drop it, and yet unbelievably fearful of getting too close or squeezing too hard? Note how my cheeseburger’s cheese looks especially plasticky. Your food arrives right inside the bucket, and good luck getting that McDonald’s stink off of the plastic. It called to me.Įach pail serves the purpose of a Happy Meal toy, but they also act as Happy Meal containers. The white one, with the ten decapitated Scooby-Doo heads on it.

You’re supposed to eat at McDonald’s all through October if you want a shot at a full collection.įortunately, I got the one I wanted most, right off the bat. There are three different pails available, but at different times. Why didn’t I know this? You’ll probably remember her as Natalie Green, but let’s not forget Mindy’s legendary spot on Celebrity Ghost Stories, where she battled against Pasadena’s trickiest dead kid. If Wikipedia can be believed, there’s a very good reason to see it: Mindy Cohn supplies the voice of Velma. Looks like it came with a coupon for the Big Top Scooby-Doo DVD. I was unaware of any recent Scooby-Doo exploits that could possibly warrant co-branded buckets stuffed with greasy food. What they lack in charm, they make up for in sooo many stickers!Ģ012’s pails have a Scooby-Doo theme. Think of them as the spiritual successors to the “McBoo” pails of the ‘80s. 18, to be exact.For the third year in a row, McDonald’s brought back the ol’ trick-or-treat pails. But you’ll still have to wait a couple weeks until you can get your hands on the Halloween buckets - until Oct. The Halloween pails haven’t been available since 2016, according to McDonald’s, so this return has been a long time coming. You’ll see both again in 2022, but the witch is going back to an older moniker: McGoblin. According to the blog Nightmare Nostalgia, the brand switched things up in 1989 and replaced two of the OG jack-o-lanterns with a witch named McWitch and a ghost named McBoo. The themed buckets, which were given out in place of a standard takeout bag, were originally made to look like jack-o-lanterns with frightening facial expressions and funky pumpkin-like shaped baskets. IYDK, McDonald’s started giving out Halloween trick-or-treat buckets with every Happy Meal in 1986, and the fast food company handed out the pumpkin-shaped buckets on-and-off in the years following. The fast food company confirmed the reports that had been swirling over the past month, and the news of McDonald’s Halloween Pails returning for 2022 will get you pumped for some throwback spooky season goodness. McDonald’s Halloween buckets, which the company officially calls Halloween Pails, haven’t seen the light of day since 2016, but they will make a very glorious return for 2022. 31, but you might find yourself hitting up McDonald’s drive-thrus in search of returning Halloween pails. OK, you may not be going door-to-door for candy on Oct. Get ready to trick-or-treat like it’s 1999.
