The chicken nugget-shaped toys were first introduced back in 1988, and came back in six different outfits and backstories. New York City-based artist Kerwin Frost helped design the mascots and create a meal paired with the revived toys.
Before that, in October 2023, McDonald’s reintroduced their Halloween-themed pails: Boo Buckets. The trick-or-treat-friendly containers made their official return in the middle of October, after being introduced in 1986 and brought back in 2016 and 2022.
