11 Celebrities With Their Own Fast Food Meal

Celebrities are the same as everyone else: They love fast food! So what could be better than giving a famous celebrity their very own meal, customized with their own design, flavors, and branding?

McDonald’s was ahead of everyone and started this trend back in 1992 (which happens to be our number 1 spot).

11. Snoop Dogg & Jack in the Box (2023)

Snoop starts off the list with his Jack in the Box meal known as the Munchie Meal. It featured a spicy chicken sandwich, taco, curly fries, a brownie, and a choice of drink. It was available from June 12 to August 6, 2023 for $14.00.

10. Megan Thee Stallion & Popeye's (2021)

In 2021, Megan Thee Stallion teamed up with Popeye's to launch a special meal that included their famous chicken sandwich with a unique "Hottie Sauce," designed to add a spicy and sweet flavor. This collab also featured a line of merch, showing Megan's influence beyond music with the food industry.

9. Ringo Starr & Pizza Hut (1995)

In 1995, Ringo Starr of The Beatles teamed up with Pizza Hut to roll out their new pizza with cheese in the crust, known as Stuffed Crust Pizza. Even though Ringo couldn't eat pizza because he was allergic to a lot of its ingredients, he still helped in the ad. This was huge, because it was something new for the pizza industry.

8. Charli D'Amelio & Dunkin' (2020)

In 2020, Charli D'Amelio, a famous TikTok star, partnered with Dunkin' to create "The Charli" drink. It's a cold brew coffee with whole milk and caramel swirl, based on her favorite order. This collaboration was a big hit, especially with young people, and it even helped Dunkin' get more people to download their app and try the drink.

7. Kate Upton & Carl's Jr. / Hardee's (2012)

In 2012, Kate Upton, a famous model, worked with Carl's Jr. and Hardee's for a commercial that had viewers in awe. She was shown seductively eating a Southwest Patty Melt, which was unlike most commercials prior and gave the brand an impressive 104% increase in website traffic during the time of the campaign.

6. Saweetie & McDonald's (August 2021)

On August 2021, music artist Saweetie teamed up with McDonald's to release her own special meal. It included a Big Mac, chicken McNuggets, fries, a Sprite, and two sauces, including one named "Saweetie 'N Sour." This collaboration was part of McDonald's strategy to connect with music fans and bring new ideas to their menu.

McDonald’s saw a 25.9% boost in sales during this quarter because of this meal and the collaboration with our number 2 fast food meal.

5. Mariah Carey & McDonald's (December 2021)

In December 2021, Mariah Carey and McDonald's teamed up for a free holiday deal. They released a special "Mariah Menu" where customers could get a different free item each day for 12 days, with just a $1 purchase through the McDonald's app.

4. Justin Bieber & Tim Hortons (November 2022)

In November 2022, Justin Bieber and Tim Hortons collaborated again to release a special edition of "Timbiebs" doughnut holes. The doughnuts were Chocolate White Fudge, Sour Cream Chocolate Chip, and Birthday Cake Waffle.

3. Travis Scott & McDonald’s (Fall 2020)

In Fall 2020, Travis Scott and McDonald's worked together to create the "Travis Scott Meal." This special meal included some of Travis's favorite McDonald's items: a Quarter Pounder with cheese, bacon, lettuce, medium fries with BBQ sauce, and a Sprite. It was a massive hit, and caused a media frenzy with Travis Scott showing up at a Los Angeles McDonald’s in his red Ferrari.

McDonald’s gained 4.6% in sales for that period, with Travis Scott taking home a sweet $20 million paycheck.

2. BTS Meal at McDonalds (2021)

The BTS Meal launched globally in the Spring of 2021, and included 10 Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, a medium Coke, and two new dipping sauces (Sweet Chili and Cajun) inspired by South Korean flavors.

We gave this meal the number two slot because it had a worldwide impact, greater than any other celebrity collaboration to date. They released the meal in 50 different countries and went from making $3.76 billion during the Spring of 2020 to making $5.9 billion during the Spring of 2021.

1. Michael Jordan & McDonald's (1992)

Our number one spot has to go to the GOAT of fast food with the GOAT of basketball. Not only that, this celebrity collaboration in fast food was the first of its kind.

The McJordan Burger: A special edition cheeseburger with pickles, raw onion, circular bacon, and BBQ sauce on a sesame seed bun, available only in McDonald's Chicago locations​​.

This meal was $3.59 in 1992 and by using an Inflation Calculator, that same meal would cost $7.80 in 2024. Unfortunately fast food is no longer cheap; where most meals at McDonald’s are hovering in the $15.00 range.
