McDonald’s Releases 2 New Meals and a Treat That Will Leave You Starstruck
K-Pop Demon Hunters is moving from the screen to McDonald’s in the most delicious way. On March 31st, the chain will drop three new Demon Hunters specials— two meals and one McFlurry.
First is the Huntr/X Meal, which includes a 10-piece Chicken McNugget box, a medium soft drink, and Ramyeon McShaker Fries. The shaker fries are similar to the seasonal Grinch fries introduced over the holidays. The side comes with a packet of soy, sesame, and garlic seasoning that you sprinkle over your fries and shake. The flavor is inspired by Rumi, Miraand, and Zoey’s favorite dish. The Huntr/X Meal is served with “a bold mustard sauce with heat and tang – made purple, just like demon patterns.”

To keep the feud going, McDonald’s is also offering a Saja Boys Breakfast Meal. That comes with an egg Sausage McMuffin, Spicy Saja Sauce, hash browns, and a small Soda Pop (IFKYK).
“With McDonald’s, we were able to turn the rivalry between The Saja Boys and Huntr/X into something fans can actually experience, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and food traditions that sit at the heart of the film,” Marian Lee, chief marketing officer for Netflix, said in a news release.

And we can’t forget our favorite sidekick, Derpy the Tiger. He earned his own McFlurry, a vanilla soft serve with berry popping pearls in a wild berry sauce.
The new offerings will lead to a fun “Battle for the Fans.” Collectible card packs come with each K-Pop Demon Hunter meal. And the McFlurry includes a Derpy the Tiger access card.
“Fans can scan the QR code on each Derpy access card and enter the unique code on the McDonald’s App by April 26 to unlock first access to exclusive content and a special reveal of the group that wins the Battle for the Fans.”“Big things happen when you bring two massive fandoms together. And this partnership was a natural fit,” Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald’s, added. “We found authentic ways to unite our iconic worlds – inviting Huntr/X and Saja Boys fans into the rivalry in ways that feel true to the film and unmistakably McDonald’s.”
