History of McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets explained
The history of McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets is linked to the beginning of different meals for kids and they named it Happy Meals. The Street states that the company started to add a toy to the meal alongside a candy container for Halloween.
This is how the Boo Bucket was formed and this also led to an increase in sales. McDonald's soon entered the world of advertising for Halloween Boo Buckets from the 90s. The designs of the buckets have undergone various iterations and there were a few designs that were not loved by the public.
The buckets suddenly disappeared in 2016 before returning in 2022. The company also ignored a few things this time like funny cartoons and branding crossovers.
As mentioned earlier, the Boo Buckets will be available from October 17, 2023, till October 31, 2023, or until stocks last.
