Global fast-food juggernaut McDonald’s has unveiled a unique offer for couples set to tie the knot: a $200 wedding package that allows the golden arches to play a starring role in their nuptials. The announcement, made via the company’s Indonesian Instagram account, detailed a wedding package that includes a feast of 100 chicken sandwiches and 100 packs of four-piece chicken nuggets. The post read, "McD’ers, let’s make the wedding moment more memorable with the Wedding Mekdi package. Available various other exciting package options with a minimum order of 200 pcs." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct_ItH3rvS1/]] Expanding on the food options, Indonesian corporate communication supervisor Rizki Haryadi mentioned the availability of additional services. He told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/food/22926186/mcdonalds-wedding-package-burgers-nuggets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a>, "There are other service options as well, where we can also provide food stalls at an additional cost." However, Haryadi clarified that, "The wedding package is not for holding a wedding at a McD store, but only for food, such as catering with prices starting from $235, with a minimum purchase of 200 products." While the wedding package is currently exclusive to Indonesia, there’s speculation it may cross the Pacific to find its way into the U.S. market. Interestingly, this isn’t McDonald’s first venture into the wedding industry. A few years ago, a Hong Kong branch of the fast-food titan began offering in-store weddings, The Sun reported. These McDonald’s nuptials came with a "Happiness Party" package that, for roughly $382, offered an all-inclusive wedding experience including invites, venue, audio equipment, and food for an additional $127. In related news, McDonald’s recently became a hot topic on TikTok when users put a sinister twist on the company’s Grimace shake. This berry-infused beverage, which launched on June 12, commemorated the birthday of the company’s mascot, Grimace. It aimed to encapsulate the character’s "iconic color and sweetness," according to the fast-food chain. However, the party turned dark when TikTok user @thefrazmaz (real name: Austin Frazier) posted a video of himself sampling the shake, followed by a scene of him playing dead with the spilled purple drink pooling near him. This video sparked a wave of similar, grim interpretations.

In any case, McDonald’s did acknowledge the trend with a <a href="https://twitter.com/McDonalds/status/1673732508503138304">tweet</a> featuring their purple mascot, Grimace. Frazier recently sat down with <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mcdonalds-grimace-shake-tiktok-trend-rcna91637">NBC News' Stay Tuned</a>, where he revealed the inspiration behind his morbid Grimace Shake video. He was inspired by another TikTok video that depicted the creator feigning hospitalization after consuming Burger King's Spider-Verse Whopper. Frazier confessed he expected his Grimace Shake video to be a standalone sensation. To his delight, he discovered a multitude of users generating their own unique renditions. Speaking about the unexpected success, Frazier said, "The great part about it is that, you know, it’s a trend that kind of took off, and it allowed for creativity and allowed for people to kind of put their own pieces to it." He appreciated the platform it gave users to express their own style of humor. The content creator said: "So even though I may have had it a certain way, you know, the format was set there, but it allowed for people to kind of create that funny humor, dark humor, horror, whatever [they] may want it to be." <h6>Featured image credit: Mikechie Esparagoza / Pexels</h6>
