Select Asian countries were the first to see the unexpected pairing come to life, per USA Today .

The Crocs Happy Meal is now set to arrive in the United States, a McDonald’s spokesperson told the outlet.

While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, customers can look at what to expect, per a post from food influencer Snackolator ( @snackolator ) on Instagram earlier this week.

At least 10 miniature keychain toys called Crocs Clips could be included in the Crocs Happy Meal, each featuring different colors and aspects of McDonald’s.

Packaging for the Crocs Happy Meal box also resembles the iconic shoe, with faux stickers and pins scattered across the outside.

Chicken McNugget and World Famous Fries boxes have packaging updates that highlight the Crocs brand as well.

“I have a feeling these will be very popular…” Snackolator wrote of the Crocs Clips included with the Crocs Happy Meal.

Still, the foodie warned that US customers might not see all 10 toy options with their meal when it’s released.

“A big disclaimer that it’s possible the designs (and number) could differ in the US, but the Happy Meal is definitely coming to the USA,” they said.

HAPPY DAYS

Several customers vocalized excitement for the Crocs and McDonald’s partnership to hit the United States .

“I love it! I was hoping we’d get these,” someone replied to Snackolator’s post.

“Such adorableness can’t wait to snag one!” another exclaimed.

“I love this,” wrote a third.

NOT SO PLEASED

Despite the anticipation, others were immediately displeased with the Crocs Happy Meal, pleading that McDonald’s stop making “trendy” offerings.

“What the heck happened to the actual toys?” a frustrated customer asked.

“I bet most kids would hate getting those I know I would have as a kid,” another fumed.

“Collectible keychains of shoes are not toys,” a third commented.

McDonald’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment for more information about the Crocs Happy Meal.

LONGTIME BOND

It isn’t the first time Crocs and McDonald’s partnered for a product, either.

Customers can still get the McDonald’s X Crocs Birdie Classic Clog on the Crocs website .

The shoes feature the McDonald’s character of Birdie in a predominantly yellow design with several charms, including one that represents the Egg McMuffin.

They’re currently on sale for $52.50, marked down from $75.00.

McDonald’s fans were also recently confused over the chain’s new mini McFlurry cups with “flaps.”

Several customers also cited “disappointment” over McDonald’s recent Collector’s Meal cups offering.
