McDonald’s Korea just launched a limited-edition Big Mac-inspired stackable lunchbox!

Posted on by




If you think about it, a burger is a stackable product too… so it wasn’t going to be long before someone drew the parallel and made a burger-shaped stackable tiffin box!

It seems like that brainwave came to McDonald’s Korea, which just unveiled the limited-edition lunchbox inspired by their iconic burger. The lunchbox comes with vertically stackable containers, celebrating the traditional Korean ‘dosirak’, a portioned lunchbox quite similar to the Japanese bento box. Its circular, vertically stackable shape allows it to perfectly mirror the stackable design of a burger, with orange containers with artwork on the side resembling patties leaves, and sauces, while the lid on top comes with a sesame seed pattern to complete the visual experience!

The lunchbox sports two containers that lock together using clasps, with a sesame-bun cover on the top and two fold-out handles to carry the box around. The two containers have separate lids of their own too, helping retain heat while ensuring that liquids or gravies don’t leak out during transit.

For a limited time, Korean patrons of the global fast-food giant can get their hands on this quirky lunchbox for ₩7,500 KRW (approximately $7 USD) upon purchase of a Big Mac or a Big Mac Bacon. I’m lovin’ it!

Burger Socks: Hold the Lettuce Between Your Toes

Posted on by

Hungry? How about a delicious, juicy cheeseburger? That sounds yummy to me. What if I told you somebody’s stinky feet had been touching your sandwich? You’d have second thoughts about cramming it into your mouth for sure. So while these cheeseburger socks are cute, they’re definitely not fit for consumption.

Rainbow Socks makes this this whimsical and colorful set of printed socks that look like a burger when folded up and stacked. In fact, you’re looking at a double cheeseburger, fully-loaded with two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Wait a second. That’s the Big Mac song. Actually, the burger socks come with tomatoes too, something McDonald’s wouldn’t try until the McDLT.

Of course, they come packaged in an appropriate burger style container too. You can grab two pairs of the burger socks over on Amazon for $19.99. Would you like fries with that?

McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Candles: I’m Lightin’ It

Posted on by

McDonald’s isn’t exactly known for the best food, but it is certainly one of the most consistent places to grab a quick bite on the road – and sometimes you just crave the textures and salty seasonings of their burgers and fries. If you enjoy the occasional Mickey D’s burger like I do, then check out this unusual item from the McDonald’s gift shop. It’s a pack of candles that smell just like a Quarter Pounder.

The set of six candles comes in beef patty, cheese, hamburger bun, pickle, cheese, and onion scents. While you could burn them individually (mmm, there’s nothing like the fresh scent of burning onions!) they’re really designed to be burned simultaneously. The resulting fragrance should approximate the scent of a Quarter Pounder with cheese. Or if you’re in Europe, a Royale with cheese. Of course, you could just go buy a Quarter Pounder, but it won’t last 25 hours like these candles will. Or maybe it will, if you can resist the temptation of eating it.

If you’re simply craving this aroma, the candles will be available in limited quantities from the Golden Arches Unltd. store any day now.
