McDonald's free caviar kits sell out within minutes: 'What a disappointment'

McDonald's offers a free 1-oz Baerii sturgeon caviar kit with a $25 McNuggets voucher in a national campaign inspired by a viral US Open dish.

  • On Tuesday, McDonald's launched a pre-Valentine's promotion letting fans sign up for free delivery of a 1-oz Baerii sturgeon caviar tin from Paramount Caviar and a $25 voucher for McNuggets.
  • Drawing on an August 2025 US Open event, McDonald's leverages viral copycats including COQODAQ's six-nugget $100 dish for a pre-Valentine's giveaway.
  • A reviewer who sampled the kit said the salty sturgeon eggs paired well with crispy nuggets, and the writer noted swapping sauces for crème fraîche elevated the 10-piece experience.
  • McDonald's positioned the giveaway as `playful and accessible`, Nubia Murray said, linking it to fan truths, while Andrew Charles, TD Cowen analyst, said strong marketing drives customer response.
  • But McDonald's faces a same-store sales slump from early 2025 and analysts warn that constant deals risk conditioning consumers to expect discounts.
