McDonald’s Friends Collaboration: Why You May Miss Out on the Exclusive Toys

The adult Happy Meal inspired by Friends at McDonald’s is generating buzz, but your chance of getting a figurine of your favorite character is quite slim.

This year, we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the beloved ’90s series Friends. To mark the occasion, Friends has collaborated with McDonald’s to launch an adult Happy Meal that features collectible figurines representing the show’s six iconic characters. However, there’s a twist: it’s exclusively available in a specific area.

Where can you find the McDonald’s ‘Friends’ Adult Happy Meal?

At the moment, the McDonald’s x Friends adult Happy Meal, also recognized as the Friends Box, is exclusively sold in Spain. Residents in this region can purchase the Happy Meal for €9.50, roughly translating to $10.40.

Included in the Happy Meal is a specially designed Friends box, showcasing artwork from the series on one side and a selection of food items on the other. Options for the meal comprise a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, McChicken, McRoyal Deluxe, or a CBO. To top it off, the meal features a unique dipping sauce inspired by Monica’s culinary prowess: Monica’s Marinara, which is a nod to one of the show’s memorable moments.

Collectors can look forward to six different figurines: Rachel, Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey. To obtain the complete collection, one would need to purchase a minimum of six adult Happy Meals.

Launched on October 10, this special Happy Meal will only be available for a limited period.

Is the McDonald’s ‘Friends’ adult Happy Meal coming to other countries?

As of now, there are no announcements regarding the expansion of the Friends Box to other McDonald’s locations beyond Spain. However, fan enthusiasm online sparks hope that this collaboration may soon reach other international markets.

The Instagram page @snackolator, known for featuring the latest snack and food trends, shared an image of the Happy Meal. In their caption, they expressed, “This is one of those ‘adult Happy Meal’ concepts that simply must make its way to the U.S., right?”

Many users in the comments echoed the sentiment, with one user stating, “It should’ve launched in the U.S. first.” Others reiterated similar thoughts, saying they would rush to McDonald’s if it became available in the U.S.

Let’s hope it finds its way to the American market soon!
