Saweetie announced on her Instagram today, "IT’S HERE !!! ?❄️ Introducing The Saweetie Meal @mcdonalds" ❄? #IKDR

Check out the new photos she posted from the colab below and pick up your own Saweetie Meal, you can order from a delivery app or in person at participating McDonald's.

Summer is about to get icy as McDonald’s and platinum artist Saweetie team up to bring her favorite order to fans nationwide.

You can order the meal here on the McDonald's app starting August 9.

Starting Aug. 9, everyone can order The Saweetie Meal, which features a Big Mac®, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets®, medium World Famous Fries®, a medium Sprite®, Tangy BBQ Sauce and “Saweetie ‘N Sour” sauce – the same Sweet ‘N Sour sauce you know and love, re-named in honor of the new meal.

If you know Saweetie, you know she likes to put her own spin on all her favorite foods to create unique combinations and flavors. And so can McDonald’s fans... simply order the Saweetie Mealand $ try remixing it in one of these four tasty ways on your own, just like she does.

-Fries can be more than a side. Add a little crispiness to your Big Mac when you top it with some fries.

-If it’s a dip, it’s also a topping. Top your World FamousFries with Chicken McNuggets... what could be a better combo?

-Anything can be a sandwich. Chicken McNuggets + Big Mac buns = Chicken McNugget sandwich.

-Seriously, anything. But you don’t need buns. Put the best fries in the world between two fresh Big Mac patties for a new kind of sandwich.

… And no matter how you mix it up, don’t forget to add the Saweetie ‘N Sour and Tangy BBQ sauces.

Saweetie is the latest chart-topping artist to be featured on McDonald’s menu since the Famous Orders program kicked off last year. Like so many fans who have their own menu hacks, her combinations bring a creative twist to McDonald’s iconic food.

“McDonald’s and I run deep – from growing up back in Hayward, California, all through my college days – so I had to bring my icy gang in on my all-time favorites,” said Saweetie. “Depending on the mood I'm in, there are so many ways to enjoy my order. I like to keep things fresh – I know that’s right.”

Since first hitting the scene with her viral single My Type, Saweetie has quickly become one of the most sought-after hip-hop artists. And in true Saweetie fashion, she’s not just mixing up her go-to order... her meal will also be served in icy new packaging inspired by her one-of-a-kind style.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Saweetie, a true brand fan who puts her own spin on everything she touches across music, fashion, beauty and culture,” said Morgan Flatley, Chief Marketing and Digital Customer Experience Officer, McDonald’s USA. “And now she’s brought that spark and creativity to her signature McDonald’s order by celebrating her love for our food and passion for mixing things up.”

McDonald’s is continuing to celebrate the beautifully diverse Asian Pacific American community. They're introducing #WeAreAPA – a digital photo series spotlighting the roles less traveled by Asian Pacific Americans. This new series is in partnership with Dear Asian Americans (DAA) podcast and the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM). They look at seven inspirational people and their stories. Included are two Filipino-Americans Mike Magpayo and Georgina Pazcoguin.

Mike Magpayo – he's the current head basketball coach of University of California, Riverside, and the first-ever Asian American Division 1 basketball head coach

“Every day at McDonald’s, we strive to uplift the communities of which we are a part... we’re honored to amplify these powerful stories that showcase the diversity and strength of our community.”

Jimmy Ferguson, an Austin, TX McDonald’s franchisee and chair of the Asian McDonald’s Operators Association (AMOA)

Other trailblazers' stories who are spotlighted include:

• Carol and Andrew Chin – Carol, a Chinese immigrant from Venezuela, and McDonald’s franchisee, with her son Andrew, a former professional baseball player
• Kana Hatakeyama – a Japanese-American actor and CAAMfest 2021 filmmaker who explores her experiences of living in Japan and the U.S. in her works 
• Steve Kim – a Korean-American and formerly incarcerated University of Southern California professor who founded Project Kinship, a prison reform and human rights advocacy organization
• Sapna Pandya – a queer Indian-American pandita (Hindu religious scholar and marriage officiant) who is reimagining inclusivity within South Asian faith and cultural traditions 
• Sunmi – a non-binary diasporic Korean cartoonist whose zines and upcoming graphic novel inspire other Asian American youth

Up to three stories will be featured weekly on DAA’s Instagram throughout May, while CAAM’s social channels will post select content throughout May. Each feature will include a set of portraits that represent their story, and a complementary interview that will highlight life lessons and what it means to them to be APA today.

“We’re excited to partner with McDonald’s to tell seven stories of perseverance that will inspire others and also show the strength of the APA community.”

Jerry Won, founder and host of Dear Asian Americans

Independent photojournalists Eric Lee and Emanuel Hahn, whose work has been featured in major national publications, captured each person and their story. Lee and Hahn’s personal ties to the APA community provided an authentic point of view that aided in capturing the complexity of each story.
