McDonald's Japan revealed an image on its official social media account teasing a Happy Meal collaboration with the Sanrio mascot Hello Kitty to celebrate the character's 50th anniversary. It hasn't been confirmed when this promotion will begin or if it will spread outside of Japan.
We can assume this image is teasing a Hello Kitty promotion due to the classic red bow being present on the number 50. Additionally, a Happy Meal symbol is circled in the top left of the image. So, this event is likely to feature limited Happy Meal toys.
See the teaser image from the official post from McDonald's Japan below:
A Paw Patrol image was also teased, suggesting people will have an option of choosing between two types of Happy Meal toys. Since that image appeared on the same day, odds are the two promotions will run at the same time.
Recently, a previous Sanrio collaboration with McDonald's that involved Hello Kitty shaped baskets appeared on TikTok. Though it recently started trending, it was actually launched at Singapore locations in 2019. It hasn't been confirmed if McDonald's Japan will take its plans in a similar direction.
The Hello Kitty McDonald's Japan 50th anniversary Happy Meal will appear in the future.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, December 5, 2023 7:28 PM  If there is an article that encompasses the meaning of the phrase "easier said than done" is this one. Here is how to get the Bloodforged Sigil in Diablo 4. Diablo 4: How to Get the Bloodforged Sigil The Bloodforged Sigil in Diablo 4 is one special item that works similarly to other Nightmare Sigils. In this case, it will grant you access to the Abattoir of Zir event, which is an extremely difficult dungeon with increasing tiers and rewards, such as the Tears of Blood Glyph. However, before you rejoice in a new challenge and the possible treats you can collect, there are some things you need to take into account. First of all, to craft the Bloodforged Sigil at the Occultist in Kyovashad you will need 60,000 gold and 800 Sigil Powder. To get the Sigil Powder you will have to salvage Nightmare Sigils, which means that you will have to farm a lot of these Sigils to get to 800 Sigil Powder.

No, you don't need to complete a challenge to unlock this camo, you need to complete a series of challenges.

Diablo 4: How to Get Sigil Powder If you're familiar with endgame content in Diablo 4, then you know what Nightmare Sigils are. Well, if you don't, Nightmare Sigils are Whispers of the Dead rewards that take place at World Tier 3: Nightmare.

It's just a great way for me to get immersed because it encourages me to experiment. Fury Kills are one of the coolest-looking ways to take out enemies, and we'll show you how to get them in Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Modern Warfare 3 (MW3): How to get Fury Kills Fury Kills are some of my favorite ways to down an enemy. To do a kill like this, you must get four or more kills in quick succession of another.

From experience, Fury Kills can be hard to do depending on how you're playing. I didn't master these kills till I began playing on smaller maps like Rust, or concentrated modes like Kill Confrimed.
