Pokemon Hoarders Ruin Kids Happy Meal Fun.
If grown adults aren't staging near riots over the lack of McDonald's Szechuan sauce made famous by Rick and Morty, they're killing the joy of kids everywhere. Ever since select McDonald's rolled out a Pokemon Happy Meal promotion this week, kids have been left empty-handed. That's because grown adults, most likely the same adults who would steal a baseball out of a kid's hand during a game, are lining up to buy as many Happy Meals as they can to grab the Pokemon 25th anniversary booster packs, stickers and toys that are inside.
There are reports that adults are just buying the cards just to resell them. And no one is sure how, but entire boxes of the booster pack cards are on eBay for as high as $1,000. Some McDonald's have taken a stand and will not sell the cards, requiring that a full meal get purchased to give kids a chance at some Poke-fun.
In other McNews... One of the under-reported stories of the past four years is how McDonald's removed Hi-C Orange Lavaburst from their drink menu. After years of petitioning from the public, McDonald's announced that the chain would bring back the popular drink. The news broke on Wednesday. Social media was pleased. The Hi-C Orange rollout will begin this month. The drink is expected to be in all restaurants by June.
