They better keep that sweet chilli sauce

It's just amazing that you cannot go wrong with catering to the k-pop stans.

McDonalds gives me diarrhea.

people are so dumb. its literally standard menu items in a combo.

---

Blackpink collab when?

---

It was the same combo but slightly more expensive. You could even get the sauces with the normal meal ffs.

That being said, the sweet chili sauce was arguably the best sauce they've ever had. I hope it stays.

This, unless its different than I remember besides the sauce there wasnt anything actually new.

i imagine lockdowns, or lack thereof, played the biggest part (they compare quarters by year, not Q2 to Q1, etc)

Kpop stans have been having a great year.

BTSs Butter reigns atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a milestone fifth consecutive week, extending the Korean pop septets longest No. 1 streak to date. Fans are ecstatic about this. Critics are not. Same story, different week.

In its fifth week at No. 1, Butter sold another 128,400 downloads, a 15% boost over last week, due in large part to an alternate single cover" version of the track that was released June 24. This marks the sixth digital variant of Butter available for download behind the original, an instrumental and three remixes titled Hotter, Cooler and Sweeter. Butter is now the first song to sell more than 100,000 copies in each of its first five weeks since Ed Sheerans Shape of You, which came out in March 2017. The disco-pop anthem also leapfrogged from No. 24-18 on the Streaming Songs chart with 12.4 million U.S. streams and 25-22 on the Radio Songs chart with 27.6 million radio impressions.
