McDonald’s Reveals Major Change to Friends Meal Before Launch
McDonald’s is set to launch the highly anticipated Friends Meal in the UK on February 3. This meal, often referred to as the “ultimate adult Happy Meal,” features characters from the beloved 90s sitcom Friends. Customers can look forward to collectible figurines of Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, and Ross, each showcasing a unique aspect connected to the show.
Friends Meal Details
The figurines represent memorable moments from Friends. Notably:
- Rachel is depicted serving coffee.
- Monica appears in her chef attire.
- Chandler holds the chick, while Joey has the duck.
- Phoebe is featured playing guitar, and Ross is accompanied by his monkey, Marcel.
Collecting the Figurines
To collect all six toys, customers must purchase a Friends Meal. McDonald’s has confirmed that these figurines cannot be bought individually. Collectors will have to order multiple meals to increase their chances of acquiring the entire set.
Pricing
The cost of the Friends Meal starts at £9.09 for a medium Big Mac or McPlant meal. For a medium Chicken McNugget meal, the price rises to £9.19. Those opting for large meals will pay £9.99 for the Big Mac or McPlant, and £10.09 for the Chicken McNuggets. Here’s a brief overview of the meal prices:
| Meal Type | Medium Price | Large Price |
|---|---|---|
| Big Mac / McPlant | £9.09 | £9.99 |
| 9-piece Chicken McNuggets | £9.19 | £10.09 |
Customers hoping to collect all figurines may find the costs adding up quickly, especially since the toys are distributed randomly within the meals. Purchasing six meals could lead to duplicates, making it challenging to complete the collection.
Meal Experience
In reviews leading up to the launch, the Friends Meal received mixed feedback. The focus remains on the collectible toys, as the meal is comprised of McDonald’s standard menu items. A new addition is Monica’s Marinara sauce, which combines tomatoes, onions, herbs, and garlic, evoking a pizza-like flavor.
While the sauce has been positively received, there are calls for more innovative menu items inspired by Friends. Ideas include meatball subs or creative desserts that reflect the iconic show’s culinary moments.
With the Friends Meal debuting soon, McDonald’s captures nostalgia and offers fans a chance to relive their favorite moments from the sitcom. For regular updates and more news, stay tuned to Filmogaz.com.
