Beginning Oct. 3, McDonald's will launch a new Happy Meal -- geared toward adults -- as part of a collaboration with streetwear fashion label Cactus Plant Flea Market, according to a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're taking one of the most nostalgic McDonald's experiences and repackaging it in a new way that's hyper-relevant for our adult fans,\" said\u00a0Tariq Hassan, McDonald's\u00a0USA\u00a0Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. \"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in time for Halloween. McDonald's is saving its freakiest toys for adults<\/strong>. McDonald's announced that it partnered with Cactus Plant Flea Market \u2014 a streetwear brand embraced by Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, among other high-profile fans \u2014 to repackage the Happy Meal \"experience\" for an older audience. The result of their collaboration is the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box: a Happy Meal-style offering packaged with one of four bizarre little figurines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each meal comes with either a Big Mac or 10-piece McNuggets, fries, and a drink. Inside the box, customers will also find one of four figurines \u2014 including Grimace, Hamburglar, and Birdie \u2014 each created in the image of Cactus Buddy, the four-eyed smiley-face mascot for Cactus Plant Flea Market. Cactus Buddy, too, is among the four available figurines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The box has also been designed in the streetwear brand's \"signature style,\" according to McDonald's, featuring imagery of a four-eyed Grimace visiting a McDonald's alongside Cactus Buddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to McDonald's, those who purchase a Cactus Plant Flea Box via the McDonald's app will be automatically entered into a weekly sweepstake to win exclusive collaboration merchandise, including T-shirts, other apparel, and a piece of furniture called the \"Grimace Chair.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's unclear when the promotion is scheduled to end, but the packaging imagery hints that the boxes won't be available for very long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
