The McDonald's BTS Meal officially arrived nationwide yesterday. In partnership with the K-pop boy band, the meal includes a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, a medium Coca-Cola, and two sauce packets: Cajun and Sweet Chili.
While most media outlets have lauded the sauces as both being new to the United States, McDonald's actually offered Sweet Chili sauce some years back. The Cajun sauce is brand new, however. Watch my in-depth review on YouTube.
BTS fans have reacted enthusiastically to the promotion on social media, but there has been significant dissatisfaction among them that McDonald's did not provide BTS-branded packaging for the meal nor any BTS-themed prize, cards or toys in the United States. Some overseas countries have received special packaging for their BTS meals, which led some fans to ask why an American restaurant chain did not provide this BTS packaging for its American customers.

This isn't a cheap meal, and it's the same frozen processed grub that McDonald's usually serves, except for a couple sauce packets.
This price approaches fast causal pricing at CAVA and other places, where the foot is much fresher, healthier and filling, for barely more money... and when you factor in the App loyalty programs of these places, it's even closer.
Chicken Nuggets, Fries, Drink and a couple sauce packets for that amount of green? Yeah, that's a no from me dawg.
Wow, sounds delicious. I can't wait to visit the newly remodeled North Bethesda McDonald's to try it and check out the new decor!
