McDonald’s celebrated Valentine’s Day by offering the Cardi B and Offset meal for its 2023 celebrity endorsement.
The company says this is the first-ever celebrity duo meal it has offered and features Cardi B and Offset. So what’s included? Cardi B’s order includes a classic McDonald’s cheeseburger, BBQ sauce and a large Coke. Offset’s order is a quarter pounder with cheese and a large Hi-C Lavaburst. The meal also comes with a large order of fries and an Apple Pie to share.
“Let me tell you, McDonald’s is date night done right,” says Offset. “It doesn’t have to be all boujee. Get your date, grab some good food, and have fun—that’s it.”
“Whether it’s going for a date night or grabbing a bite after late-night studio sessions, I’m always asking Offset to take me to McDonald’s,” says Cardi B. “And now, Offset and I have a mean named after us! I want all my fans to try it—especially with that BBQ sauce.”
If your keen eye slashes through all the marketing to notice nothing different about those items, you’d be right.
The company’s partnership with Travis Scott wasn’t unique either, but it did offer a combo of items cheaper than buying them individually. The BTS meal offered new sauces from South Korea, which helped drive its popularity. The Saweetie meal also featured rebranded sweet and sour sauce, which attracted Saweetie fans.
In December 2021, Mariah Carey helped McDonald’s patrons celebrate the new year with 12 days of Christmas. Each day a new menu item the singer loves to order at McDonald’s was featured as the specialty item of the day. The new Cardi B and Offset meal is the first celebrity endorsement since then.
It will be interesting to see who McDonald’s partners with next. With Saweetie already on the list, perhaps Doja Cat is somewhere down the line?
