McNugget Cavier For Valentine’s Day

Here’s your chance to stroll into McDonald’s on Valentine’s Day and pretend you’re doing date night at a five-star bistro instead of under fluorescent lights next to the PlayPlace.

McDonald’s just announced a limited-edition release of something that feels like satire: McNugget Caviar.

Yes. Caviar. For nuggets.

Next Tuesday, they’re giving away tins through McNuggetCaviar.com, and if you’re not normally a fan of fish eggs, don’t worry, this isn’t some new nugget-flavored roe miracle. It’s just regular caviar… packaged in a McNugget-branded tin, like the world’s weirdest Happy Meal accessory.

McDonald’s says the “salty, savory” flavor makes it a perfect dipping companion, which is a sentence no one expected to hear outside of an SNL writer’s room.

Apparently, this idea has been marinating since 2024, when a video of Rihanna trying caviar with McNuggets went viral, instantly sending the internet into its usual spiral of “luxury meets drive-thru” obsession.

The giveaway kit is absurdly extra: a one-ounce tin of caviar, a mother-of-pearl spoon (because nothing says romance like seafood pearls and chicken paste), crème fraiche, and a $25 gift card for nuggets… just in case you want to bring things back down to Earth afterward.

You can sign up Tuesday at 11:00 AM Eastern, but supplies are limited, so expect it to sell out faster than McRib nostalgia.

Nothing says love like upscale snacks… with a side of sweet-and-sour.
