Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) playfully nudged McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE:MCD) on Monday to accept DOGE payments by teasing a “McDogenalds” Happy Meal.
Is McDonald’s Ready For DOGE?
The official X handle dropped a mock-up image of a DOGE version of McDonald’s popular Happy Meal, complete with Shiba Inu collectible toys alongside burgers and fries.
“Yo McDonalds, the toys are ready. The rest is up to you,” Dogecoin tagged the restaurant chain.
Musk Remembers His Promise
Dogecoin reposted a fun AI video from the popular X account DogeDesigner, showing Elon Musk and a Shiba Inu dog happily sharing a McDonald’s Happy Meal inside a restaurant.
Notably, Musk had promised in January 2022 to have a Happy Meal live on TV if McDonald’s accepted DOGE as a payment option. The world’s richest person confirmed that he still hasn’t forgotten that promise.
Musk’s DOGE Affinity
Musk is known for reigniting community excitement with an offhand remark about Dogecoin. In February, he said that his space technology company, SpaceX, will likely put the memecoin “on the moon” next year.
Musk even launched a federal initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency, a playful nod to his DOGE pseudonym. However, he stepped down from his official leadership role in May last year.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.1007, down 0.30% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Shares of McDonald’s rose 0.073% in after-hours trading after closing 1.11% lower at $276.11 during Monday’s regular trading session.
The stock maintains a weaker price trend over the short, medium, and long terms with a poor value ranking, according to Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings.
