McDonald's McNugget Buddies 2023

Love these McDonald's McNugget Buddies (2023) by Kerwin Frost! Did you find a Golden Nugget?

As an adult who has long ordered a McDonald’s Happy Meal for herself, I was intrigued to discover that McDonald’s, in conjunction with an American artist named Kerwin Frost, launched an adult Happy Meal in December of 2023. 

Those Happy Meals all included one of six McNugget Buddies that related to some part of Frost’s childhood and one even represented the artist himself. 

On the McDonald's website, Kerwin Frost said “I’ve loved McDonald’s since I was a kid. I even had my own Ronald McDonald doll that I brought to picture day at school, and it was my dream to collect all the McNugget Buddies...Now, coming up with my own special set of Buddies—each one representing different aspects of self-expression—it’s unreal, a dream come true.”  

When the original McNugget Buddies were released in 1988, there were ten of them each with an interesting personality and mix-and-match outfits.

Here's a peek at the 2023 Buddies:

 
The six characters include: Kerwin Frost, the Mayor of Frost way; Don Bernice, the Wise Stylist; Uptown Moe, the Neighborhood Hero; Waffutu, the Curious Optimist; Brrrick, the Cool Guy and Darla, the Dreamer and yes, the 2023 version comes complete with mix and match outfits. 

There is also a rare Golden Nugget. What is the significance of the Golden Nugget? Just the luck of having one, I suppose. There is no prize attached to it unless you decide to sell yours on eBay where the little guy seems to be selling from $10 to $150 plus shipping. You can see for yourself the Golden Nuggets by clicking here to eBay or all of the McNuggets by clicking here.

The box, which is covered in Frost’s work, includes the toy nugget and either a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac, a French fries and a beverage. Find your Buddie McNuggets here on eBay where you can find the Golden Nugget Buddie, single Buddies or collections of all six.

There was also, by the way, additional Kerwin Frost McNuggets merchandise. Unfortunately, it is all sold out right now but yes, of course, you will can find some of it here on eBay!

See you
at McDonald's!

31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS: Starbucks Anniversary Collection 2015 Golden Scales Mug

You'll love this Starbucks Anniversary 2015 Collection coffee mug with its golden scales!

It's been awhile since I have done a 31 Days of Coffee Mugs series. Since 2020, it turns out. Here's to a new series for 2023 starting off with this handsome Starbucks coffee mug. It is the anniversary collection mug from 2015 and features a raised detail of golden scales. A reference back to Starbucks' mermaid. 

You'll love how the dark coloration glistens both with the glossy finish and the gold dots. The metallic finish means that it is imperfect in nature, with little spots here and there in the finish. 

Remember that said gold detailing and metallic finish on a mug means that it is not dishwasher nor microwave safe.

Size wise, it is an ordinary-sized coffee mug. Ordinary, by old-fashioned standards. You might find it small if you are used to having a big mug. This one measures 3 1/4 inches tall by 3 1/4 inches wide across the opening and 5 inches long if you include the handle. It will hold 10 fluid ounces o4 296 milliliters of your favorite hot, steamy beverage. 


You never know
what mugs I might have
in store for you!
