McDonald's is adding a Travis Scott meal to the menu to win over 'challenging' Gen Z and millennial customers

In addition to serving the Travis Scott meal, McDonald's said in a press release that Scott's label Cactus Jack has designed custom t-shirts for McDonald's employees to wear during the promotion. McDonald's said that the company and Scott will be "exploring opportunities to support charitable organizations during the month-long program.

"His ability to kind of see where culture is going and have a hand in where culture is going is really unique," Flatley said in an interview on Friday. "Then you couple that with his huge followership and his fans, social-media footprint, and ... 3 billion streams. He just has an incredible audience." against a deal with the rapper. These franchisees felt that a deal with a rapper known for some explicit lyrics was a departure from the chain's more family-friendly voice.

Flatley told Business Insider that many other franchisees and employees are excited about the deal and that at a chain as big as McDonald's, differing opinions are the norm. The Scott partnership is key to remaining relevant and winning over younger customers, she said. According to Flatley, people under the age of 34 are "becoming more and more challenging for brands to reach."

"How they engage with media is different," Flatley said. "They look to recommendations much more than any other generation has. They're very reliant on social media. They're very reliant on their friends."

So cringe.

Just bring the price down

Because y’all have a reputation now of making plastic food. I’m a millennial and I’m not buying. lessonsinbusiness reputationiseverything

Make something that doesn’t create gut rot and rampant diarrhea.

the real question here: does it come with a rodeo toy?

Wow

When i was child a big mac was a meal. Now it is so small and about 9 euros ... I rather cook a steak. Think about the costs of Junk and what you can buy... uk ireland

Astroburger

will this be available in the uk tho?😭

His meal is only second best to a Big Mac being the entree. Everything else 👌🏽 bbq sauce is always needed!

Fuck McDonald's Unhealthy Ass Food. I hope they go out of business when consumers become more health conscience

Such a move

I see what I’m eating 🔥

they should give Ronald McDonald a fade and some gold teeth too

WorldSmileDay

gonna be honest, because i am gen z, this is the stupidest shit i've ever seen

stan lana

This is some severely out of touch shit.

this is just further proof that the millennial cusp needs to be pushed back because i was born in '81 and who the fuck is travis scott and why would this be the make-or-break 'do i eat at mcdonald's' decision?

isn’t this just a normal meal

Woohoo! Inedible slop with some sort of celebrity endorsement! It's STILL SLOP.

I’m leaving this here.

Italys McDonalds has veggie burgers and curly fries. 👀

Lmfao

Nah your employees just mean 😪

Eat at home a lot more now. Don't intend to go back to take out, except the occasional visit to locally owned establishments. Most large companies too liberal for my taste. Life's much better, with less calories, less TV and more outside, when not at work.

'challenging' yeah because all their food is shit nowdays... it was fine like 5/10 years ago... get chicken sometimes... and its fucking like, stale or some shit... overcooked... win me over by making yourself a desert only place ;)

LMAO I’m 25. Did they make a Happy Meal just for people my age.

They’re that desperate?

Dara_MUFC Quater pounder w/ cheese with FF and fountain drink? That’s been a meal there for like 120 years.

ChuckyGirlCurry

It’s like the boomers are trying to get the millennials to buy their shit. It isn’t gonna work, I haven’t eating mcdonalds in less of a decade. Too boomer for me.

Travis after announcing

if they want to win over Gen Z add more chicken nuggets

y’all got chicken nuggets don’t gotta use travis scott to get me to come there lmaoooo

The Kardashian’s sell eating disorders to young people and now Travis Scott is selling obesity.

If McDonalds really wanted to reach millennials, they’d bring back these characters:

Ill take that $6 to Shake shack (even though that it only get me 1 burger).

They could partner with the second coming of Christ and I will still not buy their food

chile we ain't forget u put HUMAN in ya burgers, move along

azurrro BLUF0LF UHM... told yall imma do it

🙄

no thanks

I don’t want Travis Scott. I just want the old apple pie lol

that's actually fvckd up

McDonald's are desperate they want more money

Man pos to drop that collab with cudi but he collaborating with McDonald's worried bout the wrong collab

Burger King: plant based alternatives Wendy's: social media Arby's: Memes McDonalds: featuring Travis Scott The four horsemen

Honestly L but get that bread Travis 💰

Who cares how unhealthy McDonald’s is. Shit still tastes good.

Is this in Canada too?

Big Boomer energy on this one...I can just imagine them in the board room saying 'oh the kids like this rap shit lets throw a rap toy in our happy meals'.....I like Kendrick Lamar but I'm not buying a happy meal to get a Kendrick Lamar toy

I love how people choosing to eat healthier is 'challenging' to them.

from a gen zer, this is not how you win us over

This Cactus Jack?

I'm sorry but is Travis Scott even THAT influential lmfao

Fix your ice cream machines then we talk

I can't believe people still eat this crap. Buy yourself a decent meal and treat your body with respect.

JustinMcElroy MBMBaM munch squad? 🍟🍔🥤

Im gonna tell my mom to give me her T-shirt ❤️

Bring back the McDLT and the *fried* apple pies.

2020 is a whole ass simulation

They are “challenging” because we are all fed up with processed junk and cruelty to animals.

You mean millennials and gen z don’t want to be obese and type 2 diabetics? Wowweeeewowwow

Y’all want me back as a customer then stop giving me diarrhea every time I eat there, it’s really that simple

We're doing w h a t

huh

Let’s poison another generation and destroy more of the planet by supporting this trash...

Fix the damn ice cream machine and then we can talk.

the travis scott burger

Just shoot me.

RealTC_36 RealShawnExotic RealClamHammer got ourselves another McDonald's guy

can’t wait to gobble on some mctravis🤤🤤

My fatass is always buying mcdonaolds , now i have a reason i should get more 😋

winning over gen z customers by ordering for them

McDonalds sells food with aborted fetus in it & adds antibiotics to their food causing a breakdown of your immune system & organs. They know it & the People do too! Prove us wrong! BK, KFC, Taco Bell & more! CancelMcDonalds Corrupt to the core! Cheap meat from Planned parenthood

LETS GOOOO

Idk who that is

Think this might be related to the Big ass LAWSUIT? ain't nothing like good PR.

That’s...not how this works.

“designed custom t-shirts for McDonald's employees to wear during the promotion.” For sure these won’t wind up on StockX

cactus jack? the wrestler?

who the fuck is travis scott?

We still aren’t buying this crap.

Crap with crap

wtf is this headline

It's lit.

Shit they really mean it when they say black people like to kill each other

Sure their food is very un healthy,but it’s good shit...

Still will taste just as bad!

Cause Travis Scott is suck a great role model.....

they nailed it with the BBQ and Sprite stereotypes. No Chicken or watermelon on the menu?

Here’s a suggestion, just make better quality food.

I saw Travis Scott trending under food and i was surprised anyways I hope y'all know you can earn money daily from the best forex/bitcoin trader BensonFx_ .He assists newbies and making them earn steady income according to their investment capital.

Wherever is adding still is bad eating there. 😂🤣🤣

Tell me why she wanna eat me, she uuuuuused me to get FRIES 🍟 ......oh she used me to get friiiiiiiiiiies

So they threw bacon on a quarter pounder and a side of bbq sauce and have it a special millennial tempting name

The McDonald's exec whose idea this was:

Just what Black people need. A healthy meal from McDonald's...

biden in animal crossing be like

Issa McNah for me....

Funny how this comes on the heels of their $1,000,000,000 lawsuit from African American franchisees

fortnite man

I’m just here for the comments...😂😂😂

Who

They just need to bring back the dollar menu and lower some more prices and I’m in lol

💀. -nofufushit

So they wanted to partner with Travis to encourage unhealthy eating of the younger generation.

SO EPIC! 😂

Deadass?

how is that going to win over people? seriously, want to win over people, here's a tip, stop fixing unhealthy shitty food (though big macs are very tasty).

udontknowB they're garbage
