McDonald's Türkiye brings the world of FRIENDS to its menu—joining its fan-favourite flavours with one of the world's most-watched series. The limited-edition FRIENDS Meal, in collaboration with Warner Bros. (WBDGCP), features Big Mac^® or Chicken McNuggets^®, served with Monica's Marinara Sauce and one of six exclusive, iconic collectible characters.

Experience the FRIENDS Meal with Big Mac^® and Chicken McNuggets^®

Served in special FRIENDS-themed boxes, the FRIENDS Meal is available with Big Mac^® or 6-piece Chicken McNuggets^®. Each box includes fries, a soft drink, and one surprise collectible character inside the FRIENDS-themed packaging. Each FRIENDS Meal Box also includes the limited-edition Monica's Marinara Sauce – a flavorful Italian tomato sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, onion and herbs.

Each collectible pairs one of the FRIENDS characters with their most iconic moments – like Ross with his pet monkey Marcel, Rachel serving coffee at work, Monica in full chef mode, Phoebe with her guitar, plus Chandler and Joey with their beloved chick and duck duo.

"At McDonald's, we've always believed in the power of shared moments, and what better way to celebrate that than with FRIENDS. This epic partnership brings together two cultural icons" said Özdeş Dönen Artak, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at McDonald's Türkiye.
