As the sun sets, excitement fills the air at the local Mcdonalds. People are chatting about the new menu item created by their favorite celebrity Kai Cenat. Fans eagerly line up, ready to try the special burger or tasty dessert that’s only available for a limited time. With each bite, they hope to get a taste of what their idol loves, making this meal a fun mix of food and fame.
Fast food collaborations between companies and celebrities are a smart way for businesses to attract more customers. By teaming up with famous stars, restaurants reach their fans and encourage them to try special menu items while bringing in the cash. These limited-time offers create excitement and spread quickly on social media, helping fast food chains stand out and boost sales.
“I feel,” said sophomore Daniel Palermo, “like it’s healthy for businesses like restaurants and fast food places to have collaborations.”
When fast food places team up with celebrities, it can boost their visibility. Fans are excited to see what their favorite celebrities create, and when a celebrity promotes a new menu item, it gets a lot of attention.
“Some of the celebrity meals are just regular meals with a popular person’s name for the title which is not good,” said Palermo.
Even if some collaborations seem boring, others can really add excitement and variety to the menu, attracting customers who want to try something different.
One exciting collaboration was Wendy’s partnership with Paramount and Nickelodeon to create the “Krabby Patty Meal” consisting of a “Krabby Patty Kollab burger” and an “Under the Sea Frosty” for “SpongeBob SquarePants” 25th anniversary.
“Wendy’s made their own new pineapple frosty flavor for the Krabby Patty meal to make it different,” said Palermo.
Celebrity collaborations can help fast food chains sell more food by using limited-time offers. This makes customers want to try new items quickly before they’re gone.
Finally, they grab their tray and sit down. The smell of the meal makes their mouth water, and they can’t wait to take a bite. When they finally do, it’s incredible, juicy and so delicious! They can’t help but think about how their favorite celebrity must enjoy this meal too.
