Happy Meals cost slightly more than 500 yen (S$4.35) per set, with an order limit of five meals per person during the Pokemon promotion.

However, this did not appear to deter some buyers, who reportedly circumvented the limit by using multiple mobile accounts to place orders.

The cards have been put up for sale on e-commerce platforms for several times the price of the meal.

Honestly surprised they'd end it, from the company's perspective who the fuck cares if the food is wasted if someone paid for it

It's likely more because of public outrage than the company having a spark of decency

People who waste so much food should be jailed, specially if they do it for some cards

That reminds me, I need to sell my childhood collection while the prices are inflated.

Yes I would like many pokeman cards with the garish ugly McD's logo stamped on them. I will spend one hundred thousand dollars on this kel-what

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
