Big Macs are getting smaller, and Carl’s Jr’s burgers are getting bigger! Because of that, they want you to try their Cali XL burger for free.
But it comes with a condition… You need to upload a receipt to the app or at CarlsJr.com/SadMacBuyBack for a McDonald’s Big Mac between January 1 and November 11, 2025, to get one starting on November 22nd
And once you try the Cali XL, which is double the meat of that other burger, you won’t mind spending $5.99 for one.
“People want a burger that’s actually worth it. Our new Cali XL has more meat, more flavor and more value,” said Paz Romero, vice president of brand at Carl’s Jr. “The ‘Sad Mac Buy Back’ is our way of letting guests try it for themselves by swapping disappointment for something better— no questions asked.”
Of course, there will be one question, “Do you want fries with that?”
Every year, McDonald’s brings back the McRib and normally, the fast food giant announces it ahead of time. However, this year they didn’t. So, fans of the sandwich, like me, discovered it when they opened up the app.
While I was able to get my mouth on one, not everyone is as lucky. That is because Mickey D’s has been slowly rolling out, with 11/11 as the official nationwide launch date.
Don’t wait too long to get dirty with one because they are only available while supplies last.
Before Corey Feldman spent Christmas with Gremlins, he spent it giving Santa Claus a McDonald’s gift certificate. How awwwwdorable was the 3-year-old in that 1974 commercial?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created by a radioactive ooze under the New York City sidewalks. And they have lived that way ever since.
Recently, there was another accident. Now, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo have merged with Hello Kitty and Friends, and they will be available in McDonald’s Happy Meals starting on August 12th.
The 12th is the perfect date because there will be twelve Mutant Turtle Kitties to own.
So, for all of you kids who collected both, now you can add a dozen of them as one to your collection. And you know you want them all!
Today is Wednesday, so it is a good day for Wendy’s to announce that they are launching a special meal for Wednesday Addams to enjoy because girls with braided pigtail stick together.
The limited-time Meal of Misfortune is centred around the “Dips of Dread,” four inferno-inspired mystery sauces, along with “Rest in 10-Piece” Nuggets, small “Cursed & Crispy” Fries, and a small “Raven’s Blood” Frosty®, all served in custom packaging only Wednesday could have devised*.
Each bag comes with two of the four mystery sauces: You Can’t Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake or Nowhere to Woe that will set your mouth on fire. Plus, a dark cherry swirl Frosty in a Wednesday-themed cup to slurp down like a magic potion.
“Normally, I’d be against this kind of capitalistic corporate synergy,” said Wednesday Addams, Nevermore Academy student. “But when the fast-food-slinging pigtailed provocateur said I could do whatever I wanted to her customers, I couldn’t resist.”
If you can’t resist Wednesday’s meal, then you will be unhappy to know it debuts on August 4th, two days before the series’ second season premieres.
There is even more miserable news for Wednesday fans. Netflix picked it up for a third season today.
Creators/Writers/Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, “It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe – one deadpan quip at a time. We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she’ll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets – and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: ‘Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.'”
