McDonald's is going to release a Happy Meal-like menu item for adults in October.
The limited-edition adult meal – which has been named the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box – will be added to restaurant menus nationwide starting on Oct. 3, and it will be available while supplies last, according to a McDonald's press release.
McDonald's partnered with Cactus Plant Flea Market, a fashion label that’s reportedly beloved by Gen Z, to make the collectible McDonaldland figurines that will be packed in each adult meal.

Customers who purchase the Cactus Plant Flea Market Box can choose from a Big Mac or an order of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. The meal comes with French fries and a fountain drink.
