This week, as Taylor Swift embarks on the second leg of her Eras Tour, which has broken several records, McDonald’s is paying tribute to the singer-songwriter by introducing a brand-new meal that contains friendship bracelets, a famous symbol among Swiftie fans.
It was revealed on November 12 that the fast-food behemoth will be introducing a brand-new Bestie Bundle meal that would be available for a short time only. The bundles include two Junior Chicken sandwiches (each containing 380 calories), two small fries (each containing 240 calories), two small fountain beverages, and two friendship bracelets. The bundles are intended to be shared with a companion.
The hitch with the Bestie Bundle is that it is only available in Canada, where Taylor Swift will be doing a series of gigs between Toronto and Vancouver over the next two weeks. Swift will be performing in Canada. Due to the fact that they were unable to participate in the private supper, consumers in the United States are quite dissatisfied.
One user commented on a TikTok video on the Bestie Bundle that was posted by the McDonald’s Canada account, saying, “I want this so badly in the United States.”
Fans have the opportunity to acquire five distinct wristbands, each of which has a different phrase, such as “Live Laugh Big Mac” or “Share fries l8r?” In spite of the fact that Swift is not mentioned in the McDonald’s release, many people have taken the Bestie Bundle as a tribute to the pop artist due to the friendship bracelets that are included in the bundle. Fans have made it a practice to trade friendship bracelets during Swift’s performances.
The fact that the Bestie Bundle was released exclusively in Canada only two days before Taylor Swift’s first gig on the Canadian Eras Tour is another proof that McDonald’s is most likely paying tribute to the singer with the new meal.
“It’s very Taylor Swift-coded,” TikToker @brittany_giaccini stated in a video on the Bestie Bundle that was uploaded into the platform this week.
The Bestie Bundle is now available for purchase at a price of $13 Canadian Dollars (which is comparable to $9.27 United States Dollars) for those who are either already residing in Canada or who intend to visit in the near future. Because there are only a limited number of meals available, people who are interested in purchasing the meal should not wait too long before going to their neighborhood Mickey D’s.
“Guests are encouraged to act quickly in order to get their hands on these limited-edition necklaces, as they are only available whilst supplies last,” McDonald’s Canada noted in the release “because they are only available while supplies last.”
Despite the fact that the Bestie Bundle is only available in Canada, McDonald’s customers in the United States have lately been delighted by the introduction of a number of interesting new menu items. It was recently discovered that the chain’s much-loved Holiday Pie, which has 260 calories, has finally made its way back into shops in some regions of the nation.
Additionally, the very well-liked Spicy Chicken McNuggets, which have 290 calories per six-piece order, have also made their way back onto menus in certain locations earlier this month. In addition, McDonald’s has only recently introduced a brand-new Dulce de Leche Frappé, which has 630 calories per medium drink and is prepared with a foundation of Caramel Frappé, a touch of coffee, and a rich syrup that has a taste similar to dulce de leche.
