McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea Market Box Sells Out Fast At Multiple Locations – Orange County Register

As McDonald’s prepares to offer Happy Meals in Halloween buckets starting Oct. 18, a similar collectible item appears to be selling out at a staggering rate at several of its restaurants.

McDonald’s launched a promotion called the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box on October 3, which fans often refer to as a grown-up Happy Meal.

The box is a partnership with streetwear company Cactus Plant Flea Market. It features either a combination of Big Mac or Chicken McNuggets and one of four characters created by CPFM. Three are McDonald’s characters – Grimace, Birdie and the Hamburglar – and one is a creature named Cactus Buddy.

As early as Monday, Twitter users began tweeting that the box was sold out or that a box containing a regular Happy Meal toy was being offered instead of the advertised designer figures.

The Happy Meals for adults sold out in less than an hour and 30 year olds are making me hot in the front counter bc 🤣🤣🤣

A spot check of McDonald’s restaurants in the Inland Empire found drive-throughs with photocopied signs with messages such as “Sorry, we’re sold out of the Artist Box” and “Sorry, we’re temporarily out of the Cactus Plant Flea Market Adult Happy Meal.” We apologize for the inconvenience.”

When asked for comment, McDonald’s said in an email that the crates would be on sale while supplies last and that fans can shop limited-edition cactus plant flea market items online at cpfmmcdonalds.com.

Some Twitter users who were able to get the box seem happy.

I have been blessed. #cactus plant flea market pic.twitter.com/ytro4j7Ipc
