Last year, rap star Travis Scott‘s now-infamous $6 McDonald’s meal outperformed industry insiders and the restaurant’s own expectations. The burger, fries and soda meal forced some fans to have to wait for their nearest McDonald’s to re-up on ingredients.
The $6 collab meal, which features a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, bacon and lettuce, a medium order of fries with BBQ sauce and a Sprite, was scheduled to be available through Oct. 4. The promotion will continue but, starting Sept. 22, to get the Travis Scott Meal for $6 it will have to be ordered through the McDonald’s app. McDonald’s confirmed the supply shortages were due to overwhelming demand, the upcoming promotion shift to app-only and other details outlined in the memo to USA TODAY.
