McDonald’s Big Announcement: Mini Happy Meals, New Daily Double & Donut Goodbye

Three major headlines from McDonald’s are trending—find out why social media is buzzing.



McDonald’s released a trio of bombshell announcements this week, and each has triggered a wave of excitement—or nostalgia—across social media and Google searches.

1) 🍔 The Mini “Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal”

Launching July 1, these collectible minis (21 unique pieces) recreate iconic restaurant items—from cash registers to PlayPlace sets—sparking huge interest among both kids and nostalgic adults houstonchronicle.com+1the-sun.com+1en.itb.co.jp+4mcdo-menu-guide.com+4thestreet.com+4. Fans have been lining up, with comments like “grown man buying for toys” and “pure nostalgia” flooding social media, the-sun.com.

2) 🍔 Daily Double Burger Drops—Silently!

Just weeks after the Lil Happy Meal news, McDonald’s quietly released a Double‑patty burger with cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce, and mayo. Initially tested in Miami, Seattle, and Chicago, it hit national menus on June 26. The burger also joins the $6–7 McValue Meal starting July 22, allrecipes.com+1en.wikipedia.org+1. Foodies are calling it a stealthy swipe at Wendy’s Dave’s Double.

3) 🍩 Farewell, Krispy Kreme Donuts

Unfortunately for dessert lovers, McDonald’s is ending their 3‑year partnership with Krispy Kreme on July 2, removing donuts from 2,400 U.S. locations. twoteachers.co.uk+15the-sun.com+15marketingdive.com+15. The decision came after sales failed to meet profit targets, disappointing fans but prompting a last‑minute “free donut” promotion as a farewell gesture.

🔥 Why All the Buzz?

  • Nostalgia sells: Mini collectibles and donut memories hit the sentimental pulse foodandwine.com+1eurweb.com+1.

  • Subtle thrills: The Daily Double dropped with minimal fanfare, but burger aficionados noticed ✔.

  • FOMO → urgency: Limited‑time offers and giveaways led to instant reactions—and lines.


Whether it’s a pint‑sized PlayPlace toy, a hearty burger mismatch, or one last donut run, McDonald’s is expertly riding the viral wave. Brand awareness, nostalgia, and surprise-led drops—these three moves are all textbook buzz generators.

  How I Made $43K in 3 Months From Threads — No Ads, No Launch Most people think you need a big audience or a fancy launch plan to make sales. I had neither. In less than 3 months, I earned over  $43,000  — using nothing but  Threads  and a simple 7-day content system. No ads. No funnels. No email list. Just a method that builds trust and converts daily. Here’s the breakdown: I created one high-value thread every day for 7 days straight. Each thread was designed to do one thing: attract attention and lead to action. From storytelling to soft pitches, I built curiosity, and with a pinned post and clear CTA, I turned followers into buyers. This is what most creators are missing — not more content, but a better strategy. 👉 Want to learn my full system? Grab the Sales Growth Blueprint here →  Click Instant Access
