Have you heard about all of the perfectly fine uneaten Happy Meals being found in the streets
of Japan? The culprit? Pokemon.
A promotion at McDonald's in Japan caused a frenzy. Super fans buying the meals just to get
their hands on the limited edition Pokemon cards inside. Our Hanako Montgomery is here to tell us
about the collector's quest to catch them all and the outrage from those in the fight against food
waste.
For a limited time, McDonald's Japan was collaborating with Pokemon and was selling Pokemon
cards inside these Happy Meal sets. This collaboration was so popular that hundreds of people were
lining up outside McDonald's restaurants just to get their hands on a Happy Meal set.
Now, some of these people were buying multiple sets, taking the cards, but dumping the food,
often uneaten. Videos of uneaten happy meal sets went viral on Japanese social media and caused a
lot of discussion and debate around the issues of food waste and consumer ethics.
Also, some of the people buying these Happy Meal sets would resell the Pokemon cards at a
much much higher price online, sometimes 10 times the cost of an original Happy Meal, which cost
about US$ 3.5.
McDonald's Japan also responded with a statement saying that it does not "tolerate the purchase
of Happy Meals for resale or the abandonment or disposal of food." Now, this collaboration was so
popular that McDonald's actually ran out of cards to sell and they had to end the promotion early.
1. What was the primary criticism surrounding the McDonald's Pokemon promotion?
A) The quality of the food in Happy Meals was poor.
B) It led to excessive food waste and unethical consumer behavior.
C) The Pokemon cards were too difficult to collect.
D) McDonald's didn't advertise the promotion properly.
2. According to the passage, how did some people profit from this promotion?
A) By working overtime at McDonald's restaurants.
B) By reselling the Pokemon cards at much higher prices online.
C) By creating viral videos on social media.
D) By organizing line-standing services for customers.
3. Why did McDonald's have to end the promotion early?
A) Because of government regulations against such promotions.
B) Because they ran out of Pokemon cards to sell.
