The Pokémon card promotion by Japanese McDonald's was abruptly canceled after just hours due to chaos, with many scalpers purchasing multiple Happy Meals, discarding food. In response to the situation, McDonald's is attempting again by offering Pokémon toys instead of cards, running from August 15 to 17. The new promotion includes stricter purchase limits, allowing only three Happy Meals per group. McDonald's has apologized for the previous chaos and inconvenience caused to families due to these restrictions.
The promotion, originally set to run from August 9 to 11, ended prematurely due to chaos and a lack of Pokémon card stocks, prompting McDonald's to cancel the event.
Scalpers bought dozens of Happy Meals solely for the Pokémon cards, discarding food on the streets, leading to a collapse of the promotion within hours.
This weekend's promotion runs from August 15 to 17, featuring Pokémon toys, with strict purchase limits that allow no more than three Happy Meals per group.
McDonald's apologized for the inconvenience and acknowledged that the purchase restrictions might affect families, vowing to continue reviewing their approach to these promotions.
