McDonald's BTS Meal arrives in Rockville (Video+Photos)


The McDonald's BTS Meal officially arrived nationwide yesterday. In partnership with the K-pop boy band, the meal includes a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, a medium Coca-Cola, and two sauce packets: Cajun and Sweet Chili. 


While most media outlets have lauded the sauces as both being new to the United States, McDonald's actually offered Sweet Chili sauce some years back. The Cajun sauce is brand new, however. Watch my in-depth review on YouTube.


BTS fans have reacted enthusiastically to the promotion on social media, but there has been significant dissatisfaction among them that McDonald's did not provide BTS-branded packaging for the meal nor any BTS-themed prize, cards or toys in the United States. Some overseas countries have received special packaging for their BTS meals, which led some fans to ask why an American restaurant chain did not provide this BTS packaging for its American customers.

  1. Why does it have Chinese writing?

  2. It's Korean writing, not Chinese. BTS is a Korean pop music group.

  3. "Sweet Chili", nothing but sugar. First two ingredients; sugar and corn syrup (probably high fructose type). Sauce additives most people can do without.
