Why Celebrity Fast Food Meals Took Off


Listen Later

It’s been 3.5 years since McDonald’s Travis Scott meal, and we still see new celebrity fast food meals all the time.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Marcus Collins, author of “For the Culture,” as we explore how fast food chains like McDonald's bounced back to its partnerships with influential artists and musicians.

Marcus and I discuss McDonald’s history in celebrity fast food partnerships, how other fast food chains have had their own meals, what works what doesn’t, and where things are headed.


03:20 Why McDonald’s partnered with artists.

07:19 McDonald's and the McJordan.

16:39 The impact of social media on celebrity fast food meals.

27:53 The Travis Scott meal.

44:47 How fast food chains partnered with artists.
