McDonald's popular Boo Buckets annual yield, but this time it's two new faces.
Chicago-based world's largest burger chain announced that happy rice buckets will make their highly anticipated “troubled” returns on October 21.
“Just catch up with Spooky SZN,” the company wrote in a press release.
This year's lineup will feature classic faces of ghosts, pumpkins and goblins, but two new additions – Cats and Zombies – will also join the crew.
These buckets can only be available when the last supply is supplied.
The chain acknowledged the imitation bucket released around this time of the year, saying “imitation is the richest form of flattery” but noted that “there is only one OG Halloween bucket.”
The trick-tub bucket, first launched in 1986, was called “Boo Buckets” and was a happy meal for weird seasons before it “disappeared for a while.” After a prolonged absence, three iconic reverse buckets returned to 2022. They also return in 2023, with the same old-fashioned designs – Monsters, Skeletons, Mummies – plus a purple vampire bucket with nods to the “OG Purple Boo Bucket”.
Boo Buckets is the latest nostalgia released by fast food chains.
On September 29, McDonald's announced that its monopoly game would return to the United States after 10 years of vacation. Starting from October 6, customers across the country can also rediscover the “stimulation of peel” through new digital game works in addition to classic games.
