McDonald’s teased the launch of an Angel Reese special meal, and Netizens received the news with mixed feelings. The fast food chain announced on January 30, 2025, that it would begin selling a meal named after the Chicago Sky Forward consisting of a BBQ Quarter Pounder with cheese, fries, and the Hi-C Orange LavaBurst drink for a limited time.
@PopBase updated followers on X about the Special menu, and some fans were less than enthusiastic about it.
@correybanndz tweeted in response:
"um as an athlete certain brand deals just doesn't make sense.”
Other Netizens shared the same sentiments and criticized Reese’s partnership with a fast food brand.
“Athletes getting brand deals with fast food franchises will never not make me laugh. Congrats to the mogul doll though,” @heypierreking stated.
“Imagine being an athlete promoting McDonald’s,” @BadGalPichu added.
“An athlete promoting poor health. They do anything for a check.” @iShady_lady tweeted.
Other fans drummed support for Angel Reese and praised her for endorsement deals.
“She’s booked and busy,” @melaninpalace praised.
“Finally a meal that celebrates women in sports. Let’s go, Angel,” @Warraichluqman1 expressed.
“That’s dope. I Love that for her!! She’s getting her flowers!” @Abhi_kiccha07 stated.
Foodies were excited about the Angel Reese special meal and declared their intention to taste it.
“Never got any of the collabs but I might get this one,” @cognacqueen23 added.
“Looks like McDonald’s is serving up some heavenly vibes with “The Angel Reese Special!” Can’t wait to see if it tastes as good as it looks,” @uncensoredrene gushed.
“Going to be yummy,” @meltingmagics added.
More details on McDonald’s Angel Reese Special meal
This special meal consists of the BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with cheese, McDonald’s signature fries, and a medium-sized orange LavaBurst drink. The BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder is made from a fresh beef patty grilled with salt and pepper. The result is dipped in smoky BBQ sauce, paired with bacon, slices of American cheese, pickles, and onion, and placed on a hamburger bun.
Reese becomes the first female athlete to score a meal with McDonald’s. The Louisiana State University alum described the partnership as a dream come true in a press release:
"It’s really a dream come true to be the first-ever female athlete to have my own meal and be a part of McDonald’s amazing basketball legacy. I hope the Angel Reese Special inspires young athletes everywhere to never give up on pursuing their dreams."
