168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Minecraft Movie doesn’t look very good, and I’m not༒ the biggest fan of Jack Black since he , but at least the upcoming film comes with a few big changes ꦬto the McDonald’s menu, because I do love myself a Big Mac.

I was traveling this past weekend and needed to fill up on something quick and easy, so as the unhealthy gamer goblin I am, I opted for something from the Minecraft Menu and a cute little toy. I might b⛎e an adult slowly approacꦜhing 30, but nothing will ever beat a bit of cutesy plastic with my burger and fries. Now I have a little Grimace on my desk and a free item that comes to live in the game itself. But what about, ya know, the food? Is it actually tasty? Kinda.

The McDonald's Minecraft Meal Is A Mixed Bag

Let’s start with the Nether Sauce, which is typically served with your classic nuggies. At first I thought it was going to be a generic spin on the Sweet & Sour sauce we’ve had for decades, but it’s a little more complicated than that. It feels more akin to Buffalo or Sweet Chilli, but as a consequence it risks overpowering anything you throw at it. But I suppose that’s the entire point of a good hot sauce, and you’re looking to enjoy that rather than the nuggie and/or fry itself. I’m in two minds about it, but the idea of this sauce representing the scorch﷽ing centre of the nether is a cute idea that it pulls off nicely. I’ll still be a sucker for Sweet Curry, though.

It would have been cool if the nuggets themselvౠes were block-shaped or somethi༒ng like that, since the only part of the meal I can describe as themed is the sauce itself.

Next up is the Apple Cake McFlurry, which already feels alien because it’s completely devoid of chocolate, a staple of the ice cream dessert. Instead, it’s covered in a bright green sauceꩲ I pre𝓰sume is meant to resemble a Creeper. It’s somewhat too fluorescent, but an A+ for effort.

Inside the dessert you will find a mixture of apple and shortcake pieces, which are nicer after being mixed in with the ice cream instead of eaten on their lonesome. Otherwise, it feels like a dry cereal of sorts without the milk. Maccies also describes the aforementioned sauce as sour, but it feels♐ more tangy and sweet. Fries are fries. You know the drill with those.

Forget The Food, What About The McDonald's Minecraft Toys?

While the food is a definite draw for the Minecraft Meal, it seems like the majority of people will be picking it up for the toys that come with each meal. It also explains why the marketing focuses on adults rather than children, who have their own range of Happy Meal toys. You might be shaking your head that I called them toys instead of figurines or something, but let’s not kid ourselves. Here are all the ones you can collect as part of ꦉthe Minecraft Meal:

• Grimace Egg
• Zombie Hamburglar
• Birdie Wings
• Fry Helmet
• Soda Potion

All of them come with digital codes that unlock items with specific functions in Minecraft, so if you’re an avid player, chances are there are some themed goodies you’ll want linked to your account. It’s also unclear whether these will🅷 be made available as standalone digital goodies once the promotion has come to a close, so I’d snap them up while you can. I wonder whether you can just turn up at the restaurant and buy the toys on their own like my parents did when I was a kid? Worth asking. I ended up with the Grimace Egg, which i𒁃s a well-built figure that I doubt will blow away more esteemed collectors, but it’s a cool bonus nonetheless.

While I dragged this meal for catering to adults earlier on, I do genuinely believe this idea is lovely and something more brands could benefit from doing. We have seen from the fervent popularity of Pokémon Cards and Funko Pops that adults are happy to spend huge amounts of money on random tat, so why woulജd Minecraft toys from McDonalds be any different? The limited-editio♉n food is nothing to write home about, but the toys, digital items, and collectible cards are legitimately worthwhile. Now cross your fingers the film isn’t a giant car crash...
