McDonald’s celebrates half-century of ‘scentsational’ Quarter Pounder

McDonald’s is rolling out some new merch, including scented candles, for those who can’t get enough of the hamburger chain’s Quarter Pounder.

Almost 50 years ago, McDonald’s began introducing America to what would become one of its signature sandwiches — the Quarter Pounder.

Created by a franchise operator in 1971 and hitting menus nationwide in 1973, the sandwich remains a favorite with the chain’s loyalists.

Enthusiasts now have a line of Quarter Pounder merchandise to help keep visions — and scents — of their cravings close at hand, even if the “Golden Arches” are nowhere in sight.

GoldenArchesUnlimited.com is dropping new, limited-time fan club swag targeting Quarter Pounder cravers.

The merchandise includes a fan club T-shirt, a “burger-centric” 2020 calendar, mittens, a locket and, coming soon, a six-pack of candles bearing the scents of the burger’s ingredients.

That’s right. Light these colorful candles and inhale the aromas of beef, onion, cheese, ketchup, pickles and a bun, maybe setting the mood as you unwrap the contents of your dinner bag.

Fans can follow @McDonalds on Instagram to see when the items become available.
