If you think about it, adults are just grown-up children with more responsibilities.
McDonald’s is well aware of this fact, which is why it has created an entire brand that attracts people of all ages.

The fast-food giant uses nostalgia and affordability to engage the adult market and entices kids with its Happy Meal toys, kid-friendly food, and playgrounds.
McDonald’s has formed many collaborations to meet customers’ needs. However, the chain’s latest partnership is so epic that fans might have to tighten their seatbelts to keep from jumping out of their seats.

One thing adults and children have in common is that they love car races, whether in a video game or real life. They give kids the freedom they lack for 18 years and allow adults to relive childhood memories.

McDonald’s unveils an exciting new partnership
Due to popular demand, McDonald’s (MCD) has teamed up with Formula 1 to launch a new promotional meal for the upcoming “F1” movie to be released in theaters on June 27.
F1 is the world’s most prestigious motor racing competition and holds the number one spot in annual sporting events worldwide.
The McDonald’s x F1 meal includes a Quarter Pounder burger, medium fries, and a drink, all wrapped in F1-themed packaging.
However, this latest collaboration is unlike any others, because customers will get one out of two exclusive collectible race cars with every purchase.

These F1-inspired toys are no joke; one of the race cars is a tiny replica of the APXGP Team Car that Brad Pitt drives in the movie, and the other is modeled after the real-life McDonald’s F1 car, which makes them collectible worthy.
Although both grown-ups and children love a Happy Meal, this one seems more geared towards adult F1 fans, since none of the food or beverage items are the typical kids’ sizes. One might even call it an “Adult Happy Meal.”
Here’s when McDonald’s will release this new ‘Adult Happy Meal’ and how to get one
The new McDonald’s x F1 promotional meal has yet to launch at any of the fast-food chain’s locations, but if it aligns with the release of the upcoming F1 movie, it could be made available very soon.

However, there’s a catch that some may not like.
Unfortunately for Americans, the McDonald’s x F1 meal will only launch at participating McDonald’s locations in Mexico.
The company has neither confirmed nor denied whether a potential launch could happen in the U.S. or any other country. Still, foreign McDonald’s menu items have been made available in the U.S. before.
All F1 fans can do now is hope there’s enough demand for the meal that the fast-food giant feels compelled to bring it to the States.
