McDonald's announced that its popular "Boo Buckets" is returning to the stores for Halloween. The home of Big Macs said this year, the item will feature new editions to add spice to the brand's spooktacular bucket.
Moreover, the return of McDonald's iconic "Boo Buckets" is also expected to clash with Burger King's own Halloween "Trick or Heat" pail. These seasonal items have been around for decades, so they are anticipated yearly. And apparently, McDonald's and Burger King are not just facing off for their burgers, but their competition for Halloween this year is also heating up.
Price and Availability of the "Boo Buckets"
According to Morning Star, McDonald's is set to be released this year on Oct. 17. Customers may avail of this trick or treat pails by buying Happy Meals in participating stores across the United States.
The collectible buckets will be sold in four colors and these are white mummy, orange skeleton, green master, and purple vampire. Customers may get them in the restaurants until Oct. 31 or while supplies last.
McDonald's said that prices for the trick-or-treat pail will differ by location. However, Happy Meals are typically priced from $4 to $7. The price of the Happy Meal already includes the bucket, so there is no additional payment for it.
Brief History of McDonald's Halloween Buckets
Fox10 Phoenix reported that the fast-food chain released its first buckets in 1986, and McDonald's has been bringing it back to its stores since then. This year's return of the "Boo Buckets" is a bit special because this comeback is happening again after six years.
Customers may choose from three variations of the Halloween pail and these are OG McBoo, McPunk'n, and McGoblin. "They will be gone faster than you can say 'boo,' so head to your local McDonald's to get a festive pail while supplies last," McDonald's said in a statement.
