The item, which will be used around spring at McDonald’s in Japan, has been met with great excitement abroad. A McDonald’s official in Saudi Arabia even said he would refer to the idea…!

McDonald’s officials in Saudi Arabia also reacted!

Japanese cherry blossoms are now one of the symbols of spring. Even recently, Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Lee Curtis said in an interview related to the film Halloween The End that “Whenever you think of something blooming, many people will mention Japanese cherry blossoms first”.

What is attracting a lot of attention on foreign social networking sites during such a cherry blossom season is a paper bag for take-away from McDonald’s in Japan. Perhaps because it is an item that they have in their own country, so it is easy to compare, many people are thrilled that the usual, familiar paper bags are now cherry blossom-specific in spring in Japan. A McDonald’s paper bag posted on Twitter with the comment “I need this Japanese McDonald’s cherry blossom package” received more than 100,000 likes.

I’ll pass it on to the team”. By chance, the Japanese idea was communicated to crews in other countries.

In addition, a commenter said, “This is also done in Starbucks in Japan. I’ve seen it in a travel blogger’s video”, while the topic of Japanese cherry blossom products was discussed, with some people telling their friends who had travelled to Japan that they didn’t know if they were still in Japan, but they should go buy a McDonald’s now, Some said, “I want to go back to Japan after seeing this”, while others said, “I want to go back to Japan after seeing this”, showing signs that “getting a cherry blossom paper bag at McDonald’s in Japan” is becoming a new sightseeing plan.
