Elon Musk Reiterates He'll Eat McDonald's Happy Meal On Live TV If Dogecoin Adoption By Golden Arches Becomes A Reality

Elon Musk has once again confirmed eating a McDonald’s Happy Meal on live television if the fast-food giant adopts Dogecoin DOGE/USD as a form of payment. 

What Happened: This follows a Twitter exchange between Musk and DogeDesigner, who on Sunday proposed the idea of Musk consuming a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald’s embraced the popular cryptocurrency.

A Happy Meal is a popular meal option offered by McDonald’s, designed specifically for children. It typically includes a main food item, such as a hamburger or chicken nuggets, along with a side, a beverage, and a small toy or promotional item.

In response to DogeDesigner’s tweet, Musk replied with a “Yes.” This interaction revived the conversation that began back in January 2022 when Musk initially made the offer.

Why It Matters: Despite Dogecoin gaining momentum and recognition throughout 2021, with endorsements by prominent figures like Mark Cuban and Musk himself, widespread adoption by a majority of retailers is yet to be seen. 

While companies such as Tesla have incorporated Dogecoin as a payment option, McDonald’s has yet to follow suit. 

In contrast, competitors like Burger King and Mr. Beast Burger have leveraged Dogecoin acceptance as part of their marketing strategies.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.068, up 1.75% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
