McDonald's has Halloween pails again!!

YES!! First time in years!!

Just went for lunch & saw they were doing them again. They aren't as cool as the ones from the 80s/90s but they're still kinda cool. There's only 2 versions this year.

I didn't realize there were 2 so I got the one with the skull handle. After work I plan on getting the other one.

They come with Mr. Potatohead stickers to put on the bucket. I know. Had to take my 13 year old to get one Monday night after her dance classes!

I love the handles but wish they had a real top.

I have all the ones in THIS ARTICLE, plus a few others.

I have all of these, they had cookie cutters in the lids.

And these that were pails with cardboard tops, IMHO inferior to the others with tops.

I'm not sure why they appeal to me but they do. I wasn't even a kid when they first came out, I was 19 when they first started the pails, but I do love them.

Yep, I bought a 'lot' of them off e-bay and gave them out to the kids at my halloween party. Filled them with all sorts of goodies and they loved them.

Oh, and I ordered just a kids meal so I could have the new pail.

I got one the other day by accident because they said it would be cheaper to get a happy meal. So I was like stoked cause I can use it as a little prize for my pumpkin carving party.

p.s ( I got the skelly one teehee)

I have that witch purple one pictured.I also have a ghost one but it's not the one pictured.I don't like these new ones as much but I will pick one up.Don't really like the Mr.Potato Head theme.Kinda too childish.Old school stuff was alway's the best.Can you get one of these pails alone,without the kids meal?Is it the same price if you would order it with the meal?

Both my kids work at McDonalds and my daughter brought us Happy Meals for lunch the other day just so we could have the buckets! My son said you'd be surprised at the people who don't like them and ask if they can swap for another toy. My kids loved them when they were little. We had several years worth but we've moved a few times and they seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle.
I'm glad they came back - I've been feeling very nostalgic this year.
