Before the big reveal, how about a little hint? What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the phrase “How you doin’?”

If you guessed Friends, then ding ding ding, you’re a winner!

In celebration of the hit TV show’s 30th anniversary, McDonald’s is releasing a special adult happy meal where fans can collect figures inspired by the characters! There is one catch, however…this sweat deal is only available in Spain.

The meal comes with your choice of a Big Mac, a Quarter Pound, McRoyal Delux, CBO, or McChicken, alongside a drink and fries. A special sauce was also created for the meal called “Monica’s Marinara“, inspired by her culinary skills, and a specially designed “Friends Box” will also come included. There are 6 figures in total to collect.

Over on social media, McDonald’s shared a commercial showcasing one of their locations getting transformed into the iconic Central Perk, the coffee shop featured throughout the series. This spot even included the classic orange couch that’s synonymous with the show. The celebration for the hit TV show’s 30th anniversary is going full force at McDonalds, and we’re loving the dedication!

Although no word has been released on whether this adult Happy Meal will become available in the U.S., we’re hoping it might “Pivot!” its way over to us in the near future!

A Look At The ‘Friends’ Adult Happy Meal

Each box is decorated with a Friends-themed design, and yes, the toys are based on all your favourite characters. Maccies fans can collect little figurines of Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Ross. 

As for the food, the adult Happy Meals come with a choice of burger, as well as fries and a drink. And because it’s McDonald’s Spain, there are a few burger options that we don’t have here, such as the CBO (a chicken burger with crispy bacon, crispy onions, cheese, lettuce and a creamy pepper CBO sauce), and the McRoyal Delux (the only beef burger on the menu with tomato). Alternatively, you can opt for classics such as the Big Mac or Quarter Pounder. 

If all of this weren’t exciting enough, the box meal also comes with a limited-edition sauce. ‘Monica’s Marinara’ was created especially for the collab, and while there’s no description for the ‘special sauce’, marinara is typically made with tomato, garlic, herbs and onions. 

McDonad’s España shared the news on social media, creating a fun advert for the collab which sees a McDonald’s restaurant transformed into Central Perk, the coffee shop from the show. There’s the iconic orange sofa, and the stars of the ad recreate some of the most famous moments from the show.

There’s some funny hand gestures (à la Ross), a woman running around in a wedding dress like Rachel, and even a how you doin’ thrown in for good measure. Joey would surely approve.

Fans React To The ‘Friends’ Adult Happy Meal

Unsurprisingly McDonald’s and Friends fans alike have been going wild over the news, with @estefy_ez writing in the comments on Instagram: ‘I love you McDonald’s… Pure perfection!’ 

Similarly @srtanuma said: ‘I want it I want it!!! We have got to go!!’ And @alba.iglesias31 proclaimed: ‘New need unlocked. McDonald’s for dinner tonight.’

Others were happy that there were finally ‘toys meant for grown ups’ and praised the ‘initiative’ hoping that the chain might launch a Disney collab next. 

But it seems you can’t please everyone, as some people were upset that adult Happy Meals didn’t include a dessert.

The ‘Friends’ Adult Happy Meal Is Available In Spain

If you happen to be visiting Spain soon, you can get your hands on one of these boxes for €9.50 (£7.96). However, it’s not known exactly how long they’ll be available for. 

McDonald’s tends to move pretty quickly with most new menu items only available for a few weeks. Sometimes popular items only stick around for a few days at a time.

For instance, the Grimace Shake was a limited product at McDonald’s UK and sold out in just two days. And the McRib, which returns to Maccies from October 16 is also expected to sell out very quickly.

Could This Collaboration Be A Success In The U.S. ?

While there is no news as to whether this collaboration will make it over to the United States, never say never. Multiple collaborations that have launched in other countries have made their way stateside before, including ones with Crocs and Squishmallows.

Fans worldwide have been vocal about wanting this collaboration to come to other countries and regions. One X, formerly known as Twitter, user, wrote, “I NEED this in the beautiful United States of America.” Another tweeted, “Bring these to the USA & Canada. PLEASE.”
