See what’s inside McDonald’s ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ meals
The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal is a Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal, and the Huntr/X Meal is a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal with McShaker Fries.
An epic K-pop battle, one that features Huntr/X and the Saja Boys, is already underway at McDonald’s.
Beginning Tuesday, March 31, the fast-food giant will begin offering a pair of meals inspired by the hit (and award winning) Netflix film “KPop Demon Hunters.”
Each meal comes with a collectible set of photocards featuring Huntr/X or the Saja Boys as well as a Derpy the Tiger access card with a QR code that unlocks exclusive content on the McDonald’s app.
The “special reveal,” according to McDonald’s, is the identity of the group that is crowned victor of the Battle for the Fans.
A K-pop superstar trio, who moonlight as “badass demon hunters,” have no choice but to battle the Saja Boys, an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise, in order to keep humanity safe from supernatural threats — for good.
Between two Oscars and a hit soundtrack, “KPop Demon Hunters” quickly earned worldwide acclaim in the months following its release. A sequel is in the works.
“With McDonald’s, we were able to turn the rivalry between The Saja Boys and Huntr/X into something fans can actually experience, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and food traditions that sit at the heart of the film,” Marian Lee, chief marketing officer for Netflix, said in the March 26 news release.
Here’s what to know about the KPop Demon Hunters’ meals landing at McDonald’s, including what’s inside.
Huntr/X, Saja Boys meals land at McDonald’s
From the Huntr/X Meal, featuring McNuggets, and Saja Boys breakfast meal, McDonald’s has a meal suitable for any fan at just about any time of day.
“From Ramyeon McShaker Fries to Demon sauces paired with Soda Pop, every detail was designed to feel like it could have come straight out of a scene in the movie,” Lee added.
Here’s what’s inside:
- The Huntr/X Meal – A 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal, complete with a medium drink, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, Demon Sauce and Hunter Sauce. Seasoned with a blend of soy, garlic, sesame and spice, the Ramyeon McShaker Fries are inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s go-to noodle snack.
- The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal: A Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal. The breakfast sandwich comes topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce. Hashbrowns and a small soft drink are included in the meal.
According to McDonald’s, the Huntr/X Meal comes with Hunter Sauce, “a sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat” and Demon Sauce, “a bold mustard sauce with heat and tang – made purple, just like demon patterns.”
Derpy the Tiger inspires ‘Derpy McFlurry’
And who could forget Derpy the Tiger? Not McDonald’s.
The clumsy yet lovable feline serves as the inspiration for McDonald’s Derpy McFlurry, which blends creamy vanilla soft serve with berry flavored popping pearls in a wild berry sauce.
The Derpy McFlurry as well as McDonald’s other “KPop Demon Hunters” offerings are now available for purchase at participating restaurants nationwide.
