We all know that the McDonald’s menu looks different around the world. And while we can mostly come to terms with the fact that some international menu items will never make it to the States, what’s even more frustrating is missing out on some of the collectibles and toys, too.
Every once in a while, a social media post clues us in on the latest international fast-food releases, and this week, McDonald’s Germany is taking us all back to the early 2000s with a limited-time collection. Featuring miniature radios that play snippets of hit songs, the lineup celebrates five iconic artists and their biggest hits, including one pop-punk anthem that inspired a generation of teens: Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi.”

McDonald’s New Mini Radios Bring Back Peak 2000s Nostalgia
View this post on InstagramMcDonald’s Germany just brought back its nostalgic miniature Happy Meal radios from the 2000s, this time with a brand-new lineup of recognizable songs. Shared on Instagram by @bee.simsi, the collection gives us a small glimpse at just the kind of heat we’ve been missing out on here in the States.
Part of a German campaign called “Endlich wieder bei Mecces,” which translates roughly to “Finally Back at McDonald’s,” the collection features five colorful boombox-style toys, each of which play a 30-second song snippet with the press of a button. Complete with a matching carabiner for use as a bag charm or keychain, Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” plays out of a green and yellow boombox, making it a perfect find for any fan of the pop-punk princess.
The rest of the lineup includes Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Cro’s “Traum.”

International McDonald’s Always Gets the Coolest Things
Available only at participating McDonald’s restaurants in Germany through Nov. 24, each boombox retails for 2.50 euros, or about $2.80. With no confirmed worldwide release, you’ll literally have to plan a trip to Germany to snag one for yourself. The radios are available as an add-on with a qualifying McMenu meal, McCafe Duo Grande or Frühstücks-Duo Grande, none of which you’ll find on the menu here in the States.
“Tell me you grew up in the 90s without telling me ??,” @bee.simsi captioned her post while showing off the Avril toy, “does it get more 2000s than this?”
“Can we all bombard McDonald’s with emails saying to bring this to the UK please,” one fan pleaded in the comments.“Y’all are soo lucky,” another fan chimed in, while a third added, “This should be worldwide.”
It is understandable that McDonald’s menus change from country to country, but that hasn’t stopped fans from dreaming about all the items they wish would make their way to the States. From Hello Kitty soft serve collabs in China to mouthwatering Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches in Japan, we’ve long ogled at the creations coming out of international markets.
While we wait to see if this nostalgic musical collection will ever make its way over here, we’ll keep dreaming of all the international menu items we’d happily order if it meant getting our hands on an Avril “Sk8er Boi” boombox.
