McDonald's in Japan saw customers abandon meals to hoard Chiikawa-themed Happy Meal toys, leading to wasted food and early sell-outs. The popular anime-inspired toys, part of the Happy Sets, caused a frenzy, with customers discarding food to obtain the figurines. The demand was so high that the initial release sold out within two days, prompting employees to discard uneaten meals. The toys are being resold online for high prices, and a second release of the Happy Sets is planned for Friday, May 23. This situation mirrors past instances of collectible toy resales from McDonald's.
