The Cactus Plant Flea Market box costs more than the regular Big Mac combo, but it doesn’t provide any extra value.
The only differences justifying the $2.60 upcharge — nearly enough money to add an extra McDouble to my order — are the plastic toy and the cardboard box the order comes in.
Is the toy worth the upcharge? In my opinion, no. Opening the plastic bag containing my toy was easily the most nostalgic part of the entire experience, though I suspect not in the way McDonald's intended. It's been almost 20 years since the last time I experienced disappointment from getting the wrong toy in a Happy Meal, but I felt it when opening the Cactus Plant Flea Market box. While I had been hoping to get a nostalgic figure from my childhood in the form of, I instead walked away with Cactus Buddy, the apparel brand's mascot.
Despite the Big Mac and McDonald's fries being as delicious as ever, the Cactus Plant Flea Market box still left a sour taste in my mouth by upcharging me for no discernable reason.Get smarter about your money and career with our weekly newsletter
