McDonald’s opened a brand new fast-food restaurant chain and you KNOW we were there for it!

It specializes in bold drinks and tasty treats. The whole idea of this chain is to pull on our nostalgic heartstrings and bring the old character, CosMc, back to Earth. So come with us on our first trip to CosMc’s!
