The meal, made in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and McDonald’s, will be available at participating restaurants nationwide for a limited time, while supplies last.

The Grinch Meal at McDonald’s: Dill Pickle Fries & Holiday Chaos Starting Dec. 2

McDonald’s teams up with everyone’s favorite holiday curmudgeon for a limited-time meal that’s equal parts mischief and mouthwatering The Grinch has officially left his cave on Mt. Crumpit, and he’s headed straight for the Golden Arches. Starting December 2, McDonald’s is rolling out The Grinch Meal—a deliciously chaotic collaboration with Dr. Seuss Enterprises that brings tangy flavor, spirited socks, and a whole lot of attitude to your holiday season.

Sprinkle the tangy, dill pickle seasoning into the McShaker bag and shake for a bold twist on our World Famous Fries® that will make your taste buds pucker with delight.

Dill Pickle Fries Make Their U.S. Debut

At the heart of this mischievous meal are the Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries, making their first-ever appearance in the United States. Here’s how it works: sprinkle the tangy dill pickle seasoning into the McShaker bag, give it a good shake, and watch McDonald’s World Famous Fries transform into a bold, pucker-inducing treat that’ll make your taste buds sit up and take notice. Pair those fries with your choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, add a medium drink, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate comfort meal to survive the holiday “fuss and muss,” as The Grinch himself might say.

Socks with Sass Included

But wait—there’s more mischief afoot. Every Grinch Meal comes with a pair of spirited socks featuring messages scribbled by The Grinch himself. Available in four “unhinged” colors, these socks let everyone know exactly how the green grouch feels about the holiday season. And in true Grinch fashion, they can even double as an impromptu stocking—Mt. Crumpit style.

The Grinch Speaks (Sort Of)

In typical Grinch fashion, the announcement came via a handwritten note on crumpled paper: “THiS iS MY MEAL AND i DiDN’T PARTNER WiTH McDONALD’S OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART. i SAW AN OPPORTUNiTY TO BRiNG MiSCHiEF TO YOUR BELOVED ‘RESTAURANT’ WiTH MY DELiCiOUS CHAOS FOR THE HOLiDAYS AND i TOOK iT. SO GO AHEAD, GRAB MY MEAL STARTING DEC. 2 – YOU’RE WELCOME FOR MAKiNG YOUR HOLiDAYS iNFiNiTELY MORE iNTERESTiNG.” You can practically hear the grumbling from here.

The Grinch is also sneaking a piece of mischief into every meal: a pair of spirited socks, scribbled with messages from the Grinch himself to let everyone know exactly how he feels this holiday season.

Limited Time, Limited Chaos

The Grinch Meal will be available at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide starting December 2, but only while supplies last. So if you’re ready to add a little pickle-flavored pandemonium to your holiday routine, you’ll want to act fast. After all, this is one holiday takeover that’s actually worth celebrating—even if The Grinch would never admit it. Ready to embrace the chaos? Head to your local McDonald’s starting December 2 and grab The Grinch Meal before it disappears faster than presents on Christmas Eve.

Public Outrage Grows After Campbell’s Executive’s Alleged Remarks — Online Creators Share Homemade Soup Alternatives

Public outrage is rising after a Campbell’s executive was allegedly recorded making offensive remarks about the company’s products and the customers who buy them. While no formal boycott exists, the controversy has sparked widespread social media criticism and inspired home cooks to share homemade alternatives to popular Campbell’s soups.

Campbell’s executive controversy: Campbell’s soup cans displayed on a grocery store shelf with blurred social media comment bubbles in the background representing public criticism and consumer outrage.

Public Outrage Grows After Campbell’s Executive’s Alleged Remarks — Online Creators Share Homemade Soup Alternatives

A controversy inside Campbell Soup Company has touched a nerve nationwide, sparking widespread frustration and online criticism after a senior executive was allegedly recorded making demeaning comments about Campbell’s products and the customers who buy them.

While no organized or formal nationwide boycott of Campbell’s soups has emerged, there is significant public outrageand a rapidly growing conversation across YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit. For many consumers, the alleged remarks hit hard at a time when food prices are already a point of stress for millions of households.


The Controversy: What Sparked the Outrage

The uproar began when former Campbell employee Robert Garza filed a lawsuit alleging that senior executive Martin Bally referred to Campbell’s products as “s–t for f—ing poor people” during a recorded meeting. Bally also allegedly criticized the quality of Campbell’s food, made derogatory remarks toward employees of Indian descent, and admitted to sometimes working under the influence of THC edibles.

Campbell’s condemned the language, calling it “vulgar, offensive, and false,” and confirmed that the executive is no longer with the company. But the damage was already done.

Consumers took to social media to express disappointment, disgust, and a sense of betrayal — especially from a legacy brand long associated with affordability and comfort.


Public Reaction: Anger, Disappointment, and Accountability

Most online reactions fall into three main themes:

1. Outrage Over Class-Based Insults

Many commenters expressed shock at the idea that a company leader would look down on customers who rely on inexpensive pantry staples.

Posts on X, TikTok comments, and YouTube discussions reveal a powerful sentiment:

People don’t like being talked down to by the brands they support.

2. Concerns About Product Quality

The controversy revived older debates about:

  • sodium levels

  • processed ingredients

  • preservatives in canned foods

Some consumers say the scandal made them reconsider what they buy and what they feed their families.

3. Calls for Transparency — Not a Boycott

While a few individuals have independently refused to buy Campbell’s, there is no organized boycott movement. Most people simply want clarity, accountability, and respect.


A Side Story: Homemade Alternatives Gain Attention

Although this situation hasn’t produced a formal boycott, the controversy has inspired some ambitious home chefs and food creators to post homemade versions of popular Campbell’s products, both as commentary and as helpful kitchen alternatives.

These aren’t framed as protest movements — more like culinary creativity sparked by frustration.

Popular uploads include:

These videos are circulating widely, especially among budget-conscious food channels.

Many creators say they’re simply giving people recipes to help them “take control of what’s in their food.”


Past Issues Resurface

The scandal also resurfaced previous points of criticism that occasionally target Campbell’s, including:

  • high sodium content

  • the use of certain preservatives

  • debates over processed food labeling

  • consumer concerns about affordability during inflation

These older issues — combined with the executive’s alleged remarks — have renewed scrutiny of the company’s overall relationship with consumers.

What’s Next for Campbell’s?

The company now faces:

  • A lawsuit

  • A wave of public criticism

  • An ongoing social media discussion

  • Increased interest in cooking from scratch or choosing alternatives

As the story continues to unfold, the biggest challenge for Campbell’s may be rebuilding trust with shoppers who want affordable food without feeling looked down upon. https://stmdailynews.com/
