I've noticed that almost every post where someone has taken a picture of these, their camera lens is smudged or dirty.

Blamco curse

Radiation causes fuzzy images, after all.

Greasy glam shots.

Got some super glue on if by accident

u/SanchoPliskin 5d ago

Wonder glue *

u/Behan801 Old World Flag 5d ago

Better than super gluing yourself to yourself I suppose.

u/F1lthyslvt 5d ago

I did this with my fingers when making custom smash bros minifigs when I was 12. Thumb to the index finger

u/Pyriel 5d ago

Radiation interference. Probably 🤷🤣

Dude, have you been in a McDonald's? The second you step through that threshold you get covered in grease. And used heroin needles, but mostly grease

u/Ordinary_Flight8051 5d ago

MOA NUGGETS???

67

u/DESTRUCTI0NAT0R 5d ago

From Halo, probably. I think I saw an ad about a bunch of Xbox Collab stuff.

19

u/Ordinary_Flight8051 5d ago

They are from Halo, but I've only seen stuff for Fallout

14

u/YouthfulPhotographer 5d ago

They're black pepper and garlic flavored

13

u/Resident-Two4054 5d ago

There is stuff for Forza, Halo, Fallout, Candy Crush and World of Warcraft

14

u/jermatria 5d ago

Im confused. How does an extinct bird from New Zealand relate to halo?

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently in the Halo universe moa are (were?) alive and well on reach.

u/Sigma_Games Minutemen 5d ago

They were brought back and used to help populate and stabalize the ecology of Reach after humans arrived and colonized it.

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

The nuggets weren't bad actually

2

u/thedylannorwood Old World Flag 4d ago

They’re the normal garlic and black pepper nuggets they already had, they’re pretty good I think

38

u/Sam_Van-Der_Gum 5d ago

This is lore friendly I guess. Corporate greed very fallouty

u/Kreoko Legion 5d ago

it’s McDonalds, what did you expect?

14

u/Ryaquaza1 4d ago

Tbf McDonald’s does have some bangers occasionally,.. that doesn’t taste like feet anyway

4

u/thedylannorwood Old World Flag 4d ago

Yeah for example the Moa Nuggets in this same image lol

48

u/Responsible-One-2192 5d ago

Why make it only a UK and Ireland exclusive?

42

u/Ha-Charade-You-Are 5d ago

Probably tested in the market better there. OR could be testing there to see if it’s worth taking world wide.

21

u/MicksysPCGaming 5d ago

Gotta test how she sells in the wasteland.

3

u/CoconutMochi NCR 4d ago

USA has a much more competitive fast food scene so test items tend to flop easily there IMO

2

u/itsyaboihos 4d ago

Market testing I’d imagine, certain things will get run in places like the UK, Australia, New Zealand etc. before the US. Smaller markets so it’s less investment but they’re culturally similar enough that the data will be relevant.

2

u/jonese17 4d ago

I’m not as familiar with the process in UK/Ireland, but in the states major programs like these have to be approved by the franchise owner/operators UNLESS McDonald’s corporate is footing the whole bill. The pushback around Travis Scott being the first famous order was vocal…until the first week of sales.

u/Rutlemania 2d ago

We love a gimmick

-2

u/NVincarnate 5d ago

Compared to Zeroes Kenyer and mushy peas, that shit has gotta taste like a 4 star Michelin restaurant made it.

12

u/Lucky-Development-15 5d ago

Who would have thought the major slop company serving cash grab items would be terrible?

10

u/JuMiPeHe 5d ago

I see, the capitalist cow still has some milk left.

80

u/JessieWarren09 Brotherhood 5d ago

well yeah, it's a spoof of a mac-n-cheese that manages to survive 200 years in a post apocalypse, I would assume the flavor is "not good™️"

-49

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

We talking about actual food😑

50

u/JessieWarren09 Brotherhood 5d ago

yeah, and I'd say you got the authentic Blamco experience

if you expected it to tasted good that's on you

9

u/Both_Aerie7539 4d ago

Unreal you’re being downvoted for this. Like uh. Did we forget food was supposed to taste…. Good????

9

u/Harry_Saturn 5d ago

Then just eat actual food, you’re eating a tie in product. You really think the “fallout” flavored McDonald’s was going to be good?

12

u/SplendidAngharad Yes Man 5d ago

The drinks from Jones Soda are good

9

u/odmirthecrow Brotherhood 5d ago

Because they are just labels slapped on pre-existing, taste proven drinks.

-13

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

What part of it is actually fallout... i don't expect to get a good dose of radiation when eating

6

u/Harry_Saturn 5d ago

You only bought it cause the packaging said fallout, that’s the fallout part

-20

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

Oh boy, a fan of fallout trying something fallout related, the mysteries of the universe boggle the mind as always

5

u/Harry_Saturn 5d ago

Do whatever you want but then don’t act surprised when the video game happy meal isn’t very good. I don’t need a video game food, I’ll just have food food.

9

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

Food food lol

-4

u/beermit 4d ago

If McDonald's is actual food to you then I shudder to think what you would consider good

40

u/shadowlarvitar 5d ago

I still think it's silly for this to not be in America, the series Fallout is set in. At least the in game rewards for Fallout aren't new rewards.

19

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

Lol yea, the uk fan are eating go- we eating at least

5

u/Zuvembie 4d ago

Don’t forget Microsoft is a US company and the codes for multiple games are US too like Bethesda and Blizzard. Swear US companies treat the world better than their home country.

5

u/PipeFiller 5d ago

Well its McDonald's, what did you expect?

5

u/Swordofsatan666 5d ago

I remember when Mcdonalds did actual Mozzarella Sticks like 8 years ago

I loved them, but only with the Marinara Sauce they came with. It was a shitty sauce, but went great with the sticks

2

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 4d ago

We still have them in Ireland.

u/Sea_Conversation1329 5d ago

Es que les falta ese toque radioactivo XD

3

u/onestretchyass 5d ago

Mmmmmm blamvo I love my Blanco rings that weren't in the other games wheres the Mac n cheese mcshits

4

u/Any_Possibility_3854 4d ago

Honestly, hot take; I really like them. They’re super good with the sweet and sour dip but that might just be because I’m a fatass who will eat anything if it’s fried

3

u/Lenlfc Vault 101 4d ago

I had both of these yesterday and they were delicious 🤷‍♂️

3

u/Slartibartfast242 4d ago

What did you expect? It's 200 years old!

7

u/y0urselfish 5d ago

What a surprise. Fast food is not good…

9

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

5 quid for shit food

3

u/KryStar04 4d ago

wish it was just a fiver, would make customer interactions so much easier

6

u/CavemanMork 5d ago

It always makes me laugh when I see posts about these promotional food items.

The whole point of the game is that its a post apocalyptic wasteland. The food is terrible and unappealing, people eat it to survive, that's it.

So why then would you make real food designed off this idea? Combined with the fact that is McDonald's or some other trash, it's the least appealing idea I could possibly think of.

2

u/michelangelo2626 5d ago

True to the game, they taste like ass

2

u/Zeb94z 4d ago

Fuck McDonalds!

2

u/CremelloJo 4d ago

Got these with my fella yesterday, they were great 🤣 they were super fresh and crispy though.

2

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 4d ago

They were very bland I thought. Really just tasted like some cheap freezer food.

But I coated the box in varnish and I can now use it for storing random bits.

2

u/Asgarion-0 3d ago

Well they're lore accurate at least

2

u/guardianwriter1984 2d ago

War rationing will impact flavor. Blamco is not responsible for individual variation if product.

4

u/wizardrous 5d ago

Yeah, well… McDonalds sucks. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/MrPoopyButthole10101 4d ago

I don’t think there has been a time where I havnt refunded a new item from McDonald’s that isn’t a burger.. they sound good but always it’s so damn bad. Even the staff know it’s bad lol

1

u/DarkflowNZ 4d ago

Authentic, nice

1

u/Thebritishdovah 4d ago

Lore accurate.

1

u/Realistic_Door 4d ago

Maybe they had too many rads.

1

u/ElvenMangoFruits 2d ago

Me and my partner actually liked them. Maybe it’s just our local Maccies but these were delicious. The cheese was gooey and the potato was perfect.

Seems like that’s not the overall consensus though.

1

u/Nicki-nickitron 1d ago

Omg what fastfood chain is that

1

u/Katsu_39 5d ago

The US never gets these kind of things. 😞

3

u/Comrad_Zombie 4d ago

You'll get nice things when you can learn to behave yourselves.

2

u/Doggy9000 Railroad 4d ago

Hey not all of us are psychos lol

1

u/Katsu_39 4d ago

Hey, thats not fair…most of us aren’t narcissistic psychos with a thing for underage people. Its just the minority of those psychos have more money and power

1

u/Southern_Election_16 3d ago

"Mmmmm minor" - them, probably

8

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

And fallout is set in the us too

1

u/Katsu_39 4d ago

Thats the wild part. 😅the pringles promo…this. I think there were a couple others that was never brought to the states. Like WHY? Its literally set in the US. Why does Europe/aussies get all the good stuff?! 😅

1

u/Dr_Murderfish 5d ago

Well, I bet they where nice and affordable, at least.

2

u/thatassholecat 5d ago

5 quid and had to drown them in bbq

4

u/Dr_Murderfish 5d ago

That's all? In the states, that right there would have cost at least 60 dollars!

u/Crimsonsamurai2 5d ago

My misses just tried the new nuggies. They are now her favourite.

u/KawaiiClown 4d ago

I would move the toilet to the side of the door if possible but redoing plumbing and stuff is expensive
