All of the McDonald's Celebrity Meals, Ranked

You can honestly say that Saweetie kind of manifested her meal with McDonald's because it all started with an Instagram live that she did about a year prior to her deal. If you know anything about Saweetie, then you know she has some interesting food combos that she makes at times—and that includes the way she eats her Big Mac's. When Saweetie put her concoction together during that IG live in 2020, nobody could have ever predicted that it would result in a full blown meal just over a year later, but it honestly made perfect sense considering her many viral moments and partnerships.

"The Saweetie Meal" included her signature order of one Big Mac, a 4-piece Chicken McNugget, a medium fry, a medium Sprite, and McDonald's signature Sweet & Sour sauce which was temporarily renamed “Saweetie 'N Sour” sauce.

"The Cardi B and Offset Meal" arrived just in time for Valentine's Day 2023. The hip-hop power couple are major influences both on their own and together, so once again it made perfect sense to pick them to be not just next on the celebrity meal list, but the first to ever have a celebrity-duo meal. Offset probably said it best in his statement about the partnership: "Let me tell you, McDonald’s is date night done right, It doesn’t have to be all boujee. Get your date, grab some good food, and have fun, that’s it."

The Cardi B and Offset Meal included: Cardi B's favorite order, a McDonald's Cheeseburger, Sweet & Sour BBQ sauce, and a large coke, Offset's favorite order, A Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, and a large fry and apple pie to share.

In October 2020, McDonald's announced a partnership with Latin popstar J Balvin in the form of "The J Balvin Meal." This collaboration was a super fun one that included all of his McDonald's favorites available to order in one. What was that you ask? A Big Mac, medium fries with ketchup (because you absolutely gotta have the ketchup), and an Oreo McFlurry:

Pro tip: You've got to let the ice cream and Oreo's melt a little bit for the absolute best taste. Slightly soggy Oreo's and slightly melty ice cream are the bomb.

Is there any group in the world right now that's bigger than BTS? We're just struggling to find the answer, so we're going to have to go with no. And when you have the world's biggest group with the kind of global impact BTS and die-hard fanbase that BTS, then it's a no-brainer for them to have major deals...right? Correct! In May 2021, McDonald's and BTS teamed up for "The BTS Meal," which had a 10-piece Chicken McNugget with a medium fry, a medium Coke, and Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces. As expected this meal caused mass hysteria. The only question now is whether or not these two are going to team up again.

Leave it to Mariah Carey to no just have her own meal, but to take over the McDonald's menu completely during the time where she reigns the most—Christmas. In 2021, Mickey D's partnered with the legend for twelve days of the Mariah Menu, which ran from December 13th to December 24th, and featured a different menu item you could free each of those day along with special Mariah merchandise. It went a little something like this:

• Dec. 13: Free Big Mac
• Dec. 14: Free McChicken
• Dec. 15: Free item from the Bakery
• Dec. 16: Free Six-piece Chicken McNuggets
• Dec. 17: Free Cheeseburger
• Dec. 18: Free Hotcakes
• Dec. 19: Free McDouble
• Dec. 20: Free Apple Pie
• Dec. 21: Free Sausage McMuffin with Egg
• Dec. 22: Free Double Cheeseburger
• Dec. 23: Free Sausage Biscuit
• Dec. 24: Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

To refresh your memory—The Travis Scott meal had lines backed up and was constantly sold out upon officially hitting the McDonald's menu in September 2020. In fact the meal couldn't stop selling out, and though majority of it was because of the star power of Travis Scott, some of the credit has to go to TikTok as well, which was still sort of in its infancy at the point. As we've since learned, TikTokers have got the power to make food go viral/sellout, and the Travis Scott Meal was one of the first examples of that. What did it include? A quarter pounder with bacon, cheese, and lettuce, a Sprite, fries, and BBQ sauce. The power of marketing.

And of course, our number one has to go to the guy we mentioned in the beginning—Michael Jordan. The McJordan Special was pretty much limited to the Chicago area, and was pretty much Jordan's take on a Quarter Pounder. According to The Retro Network, Jordan agreed to the meal on one condition—that he could be involved in making the burger. Apparently, Jordan didn't like what the McDonald's chefs whipped up, so he took the reigns himself to create a Quarter Pounder that had cheese, bacon, onion, mustard, pickles, and barbecue sauce. Classic Jordan.
