As the BTS Meal launches at McDonald’s in the UAE tomorrow, featuring the globally popular K-Pop band’s signature order, there’s one thing you should be looking in your 10-piece Chicken McNugget meal—a nugget that looks like an Among Us character.
Why?
Well, I don’t think anyone can truly answer why, but we’ll just offer this bit of information and do with it what you will—a McNugget that looks like an Among Us avatar is currently up to $30,269.69 on online auction platform eBay with 114 bids. That’s over AED 110,000.
If that seems a bit too expensive for you, there’s also one that’s up to $16,100 with around 40 bids, or AED 60,000 approximately, that actually looks a bit closer to the actual Avatar.
Among Us, the incredibly popular mobile game in which a group needs to figure out which one of them is the imposter before it’s too late, has no relation to BTS other than the two have dominated the internet for the better part of the last year.

With it, you’ll get a 10-Piece Chicken McNuggets, medium World-Famous Fries, medium Coke, and sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces inspired by recipes from McDonald’s South Korea.

UAE customers can order the BTS Meal through the McDonald’s App, Drive-Thru and McDonald’s restaurants starting from tomorrow June 1.
Here’s one important note—it will only be available until stocks last. If you want to avoid missing out on this limited deal, get there after breakfast tomorrow, or risk having to hear stories of the time that your friend got the BTS Meal at McDonald’s for decades to come, with tears in your eyes, your BTS merch that dropped last week stained with tears.

Wait, you missed out on the merch? Well, here’s what dropped:
The head-to-toe collection was inspired by some of the craveable, hand-picked menu items from the BTS Meal, with items such as hoodies, purple bathrobes, socks and sandals.
The line will include items such as the McDonald’s fry box logo with seven fries for each BTS member, featuring the marriage of BTS purple with McDonald’s red and gold.
McDonald’s also introduced a new commercial featuring the band’s new single, “Butter,” on the heels of its chart-topping release two weeks ago.
It won’t just be available in the UAE, however.
Thee BTS Meal coming to nearly 50 markets globally, customers worldwide will soon be enjoying the artists’ go-to McDonald’s favorites. The full list of participating markets and dates for meal availability can be found here.
