McDonald's launches special edition Mr Men Happy Meals

McDonald’s has partnered with Mr Men and Little Miss to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic characters.

Each Happy Meals comes with the option of a Mr Men and Little Miss themed book, or a plush toy from today, Wednesday, September 29 until October 19.

What's more, each of the meals will come in a Mr Men and Little Miss themed box.

"The latest promotion is set to evoke feelings of nostalgia amongst parents who enjoyed a Happy Meal and Mr Men books themselves when they were young, and whose children are reliving the same experience today," a spokesperson for the fast-food chain said.

There are 50 plush toys and two books available in total.

New research from McDonald's found that more than three-quarters of Brits remember Mr Men books from their childhood and more than half said the books helped them learn to read, cementing them as a staple is children’s education since their launch in 1972.

The research delved into the different personalities that people associate with cities across the UK – including:

  • Little Miss Sunshine in Brighton
  • Mr Grumpy in Glasgow
  • Mr Busy in London
  • Little Miss Chatterbox in Liverpool
