Apologies to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/a>, but your McDonald\u2019s collaboration is getting immediately overshadowed by a new KPop Demon Hunters<\/a> one starting next week on March 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crossover<\/a> riffs on the animated musical\u2019s story of two warring pop bands, the girl group Huntr\/x and the boy band Saja Boys, by featuring two adult meals, one based on each group. The crossover also includes photo cards and \u201cfirst-access content.\u201d The meals are variations on your typical McDonald\u2019s food, but with flavors from McDonald\u2019s South Korea restaurants.<\/p>\n

The Saja Boys have a breakfast meal, while the Huntr\/x one is available the rest of the day. Here\u2019s the rundown:<\/p>\n

For the Pride: The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal<\/p>\n

Spicy Saja McMuffin: A Sausage McMuffin with Egg, topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce \u2014 inspired by the fire of Gwi-Ma.\u00a0 Hash Browns: Our signature hash browns, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside \u2014 just like the Saja Boys\u2019 leader Jinu.\u00a0 Small Soft Drink: Your choice of a little \u201cSoda Pop\u201d to cool down from the heat. <\/p>\n

For the Hunters: The HUNTR\/X Meal<\/p>\n

10-pc. Chicken McNuggets and medium soft drink Ramyeon McShaker Fries: A spicy, umami spin on our World Famous Fries featuring a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning \u2014 inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey\u2019s go-to snack. Sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, add fries, and shake for a bold taste that\u2019s true to South Korean flavors.\u00a0 Hunter Sauce: A sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat inspired by HUNTR\/X\u2019s fierce, yet fun-loving personalities.\u00a0 Demon Sauce: A bold mustard sauce with heat and tang \u2014 made purple, just like demon patterns.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Each meal comes with a photocard for either a Saja Boys or Huntr\/x member, as well as an access card featuring Derpy, the film\u2019s demon cat mascot. The cat\u2019s card will include a QR code to unlock \u201cexclusive content,\u201d as well as a special reveal of the group that wins the \u201cBattle for the Fans,\u201d though McDonald\u2019s doesn\u2019t get any more specific than that. Outside of the meals themselves, a \u201cDerpy McFlurry\u201d will also be available during the promotion, which includes vanilla soft serve, berry sauce, and \u201cberry popping pearls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though these are technically not kids meals, I can see kids flocking to McDonald\u2019s multiple times in search of the photocards. They\u2019re not toys, but they\u2019re something tangible that lasts longer than lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All of this is coming a bit late considering KPop Demon Hunters is nearing its one-year anniversary in June, but Sony and Netflix clearly weren\u2019t ready for how big the movie was going to become. A sequel is officially in the works<\/a>, though, and I expect the rollout for that to be much less scattershot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apologies to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but your McDonald\u2019s collaboration is getting immediately overshadowed by a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,2744,341],"class_list":["post-558577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-kpop-demon-hunters","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
