One of the best parts of going to McDonald’s as a kid was tearing into your Happy Meal to reveal a tiny plastic toy that smelled strongly of fries.
Now, nostalgic adults have a chance to relive their youth, as McDonald’s UK is launching a brand-new meal that fans are dubbing an ‘adult Happy Meal’.
The Minecraft Movie Meal lands in restaurants nationwide on March 26, featuring one of six exclusive collectible toys crafted especially for adults.
While plenty of Maccies fans are excited, Metro readers seem to have one very specific question on their minds…
‘Will it include an adult toy?’
It seems there was a slight disappointment among readers over the inclusion of Minecraft collectibles, as they were expecting something a little more X-rated inside.
Scott Dean Lloyd wrote: ‘That’s not the toy I was expecting from an “Adult Happy Meal” – disappointing.’
Bobby-Joe Matt added: ‘The only way most adults are going to want this is if the toy it comes with is an adult toy. Otherwise, why bother?’
Some readers had other creative ideas in mind, too…
Louise Slocombe asked: ‘Are the toys being supplied from Ann Summers?’
Gemma Burt replied: ‘Best idea ever! This definitely needs pitching to Maccies.’
Caroline Morris added: ‘That’s one way of putting a smile on someone’s face.’
Of course, not everyone was after a naughty addition. Some were just hoping for slightly more nostalgic items instead…
Laura Lee wrote: ‘Imagine they brought back the old toys for the adults from the 80s till 2000. So we could all collect the ones we are missing or were never allowed back then.’
Joe Woodhead added: ‘If the toys are just cardboard like they have been for the last 10 years. I’m going to be extremely disappointed.
‘When I was 10 years old they gave me a working battery powered megaphone complete with robot voice changer. I want those days back.’
Ryan Warburton added: ‘How is it an adult happy meal with Minecraft toys? Could have given us something nostalgic from the 90s that we grew up with.’
Meanwhile, others wanted a different kind of adult fun. ‘Does it come with a pint of lager for the men and wine for the ladies?’ one reader asked.
Suzi Williams added: ‘Be mint if the toys are miniature cleaning products/ laundry items that cost a fortune. That would make lots of adults happy! (Or actual miniatures of the alcoholic kind).’

The adult meal will cost £8.19. Customers can pick between a Big Mac, nine Chicken McNuggets, or four Veggie Dippers for the main event, plus a side of your choosing and a carbonated drink.
There are six different collectibles to get your hands on, featuring iconic McDonald’s characters like Grimace, Hamburglar, and Birdie the Early Bird.
But that’s not all — there are also a few other limited-edition items being added to the menu to celebrate the Minecraft collab, including a new Apple Cake McFlurry and Nether Flame Sauce—all ‘blockified’ like in Minecraft.
