This year, we celebrate the anniversary of the most iconic sitcom: Friends! Indeed, the cult comedy series broadcast in the 1990s is celebrating its 30th anniversary. That doesn't make us any younger. But to keep our youth, we can count on McDonald's which is offering for the occasion, a special Happy Meal that will necessarily delight all fans of the program.
McDonald's loves collaborations with popular franchises
We won't go back over the popularity of McDonald's around the world and which has established itself as THE undisputed fast food chain. The firm continues to seduce customers thanks to its new products that it adds to its menu and also thanks to collaborationsthat it signs with cult franchises that are very popular with the public. This type of operation, the American fast-food giant knows it well, is a winning marketing and commercial strategy. We remember that McDo had already proposed collaborations with The Minions, Star Wars and Pokémon. This time, it is the turn of a sitcom that left its mark on viewers in the 1990s: Friends.
McDonald's celebrates 30 years of Friends with this special product
The comedy TV series first appeared on our screens in 1994. So, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the sitcom which unfortunately lost one of its beloved actors, Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing, who passed away last October.

To celebrate this 30th anniversary of Friends, McDonald's has decided to offer a nice gift to all fans by launching a Happy Meal intended not for children but for adults. Therefore, the American fast food marketed the Friends Box. Like the famous Happy Meal, this box dedicated to Friends contains a burger to choose between the Big Mac, Royal Deluxe, McChicken or Chicken McNuggets. Add to that fries, a drink and Monica's Marinara, an exclusive sauce that directly references Monica Geller played by Courtney Cox.
And who says Happy Meal says toy. Here, it is collectible figurines that are offered. They are featuring the characters from the series, namely Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler.
Priced at 9.50 euros, this Friends Box will certainly appeal to nostalgic fans of the sitcom. Unfortunately, the only downside is that this special product is not sold in France. In fact, McDonald's has only launched it in its restaurants in Spain.
But we must hope, if this box is successful, that the fast-food giant will decide to generalize it in all its restaurants.
