McDonald’s has a new “Friend” happy meal, but you can't get it in the U.S.
McDonald's just launched a new Happy Meal featuring six toys inspired by the characters from the iconic “Friends” TV show, but unfortunately, it’s only available in Spain. The meal includes a choice of entree, fries, and a drink and comes in a special “Friends”-themed box with a limited-edition Monica’s Marinara sauce packet. Each toy recalls memorable moments from the show, with characters like Phoebe holding a guitar and an appearance from Chick and Duck. Fans in the U.S. are disappointed that this collection isn’t available stateside and are hoping for a similar-themed release for the U.S. in the future.
