McDonald's iconic Boo Buckets are back, but not everyone is thrilled with the 2024 redesign. The colorful pails now feature fuzzy monster designs and themed stickers, but some fans are upset about the lack of lids and the new look.
"Worst Boo Bucket designs released yet," one critic wrote on Instagram. Others defended the redesign, with one X user calling them "really cute." Love them or hate them, the Boo Buckets will be available at participating McDonald's starting October 15.
