Seriously? OMG! WTF?

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.'”

Before Neve Campbell was an author in the Scream franchise, she worked at McDonald’s. How sweet was the 17-year-old in that 1991 commercial?

Two years ago, McDonald’s made children happy by including Squishmallows in their Happy Meals. And now, they are back!

This go-around, there are 12 pocket-sized cuties, including the never-before-seen Intergalactic Axolotl named Halley, included in the kids’ meal. Each Squishmallows comes with a character hang tag, telling you the name and a little about each Squish, plus a code to scan and immerse yourself in an interactive game.

Since my niece is addicted to them, I am going to be eating a lot of Happy Meals in the near future while supplies last. Thankfully, I can get a Big Mac for $1 more. That and I am allowing trades in my Buy Nothing group, so I don’t have to worry about doubles!

Last week, I was talking to a friend, and I told him that I can’t believe McDonald’s didn’t do the McRib this year. Yes, my conversations are really that boring.

Anyways, he told me that he heard it was coming back soon. This morning, I got a text confirming that it is coming back on December 3rd.

“The McRib is more than a sandwich – it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.”

That’s right. This year, McDonald’s is selling a half gallon of A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce for $19.99. However, there is a catch. It is only available on November 25th and while supplies last. So, if you want one, which I do, then set your alarms to go off at 10a on Monday. Actually, don’t because you might buy the last jug before I get mine. So don’t tell anyone about this.
