In August 2025, McDonald’s Japan launched a limited-time promotion offering Pokémon cards with Happy Meals, aiming to bring joy to children. However, the event unintentionally sparked a “Pokémon chaos.”

When questioned about violating the rule, the customer responded casually, “Each person can buy five sets; I have eight people.”
