Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Now Has His Own McDonald’s Menu Item
McDonald’s is no stranger to cross-promotion and celebrity endorsement, and we’ve seen a number of notable celebrities have their own signature meals over the years. History tells us that McDonald’s first true celebrity meal came about in 1992, when the fast-food giant unleashed the McJordan Quarter Pounder special. We’re getting the Marvel treatment with the unveiling of a new Loki (Tom Hiddleston) themed Sweet ‘N Sour sauce at McDonald’s.

The most important thing to consider about this new Loki sauce at McDonald’s is that its existence has been confirmed on TikTok by a McDonald’s employee, and it appears that plenty of packets are in stock.
McDonald’s will soon release a Loki themed Sweet ‘N Sour sauce.
After the ill-fated 2017 Rick & Morty Szechuan Sauce incident when fans of the show all but rioted in the streets chanting “we want sauce,” and “Wubba Lubba dub-dub” when they couldn’t get their hands on the promotional item, it seems that McDonald’s has learned from their past mistakes, and doesn’t want to repeat history in such an embarrassing way.
But it’s worth noting that Loki can be quite mischievous, so maybe McDonald’s has a few tricks up their sleeve that we don’t know about at the time of this writing.
It makes sense that out of all of the different dipping choices, Loki would have a Sweet ‘N Sour sauce at McDonald’s. Ranch is simply too tangy for Loki’s personality, and his pale and gaunt countenance suggests that he might not be able to handle the spiciness of buffalo sauce.
As for the flavor of the sauce, sources speculate that customers will experience the usual flavor of Sweet ‘N Sour sauce, but with Loki branding when they go to McDonald’s.
More often than not, celebrity or character endorsements highlight popular menu items, but with updated branding to promote whatever creative property they’re trying to celebrate, so we have to reason to believe that there will be nothing out of the ordinary with this promotion aside from a change to the packaging.

But we can’t help but wonder why Tom Hiddleston wouldn’t push for a signature tartar sauce, given his English upbringing.
Loki Season 2
This Loki McDonald’s promotion is coming ahead of Loki’s second season on Disney+, and will be available to the public on August 14. The highly anticipated season 2 will kick off on October 6 2023, so we have reason to believe that this cross-promotion will be taking place through the premiere, and maybe for longer.
Season 2 of Loki will pick up right were the first season left off, and Owen Wilson has gone on record stating that we’re going to get a deeper dive into his Mobius character’s back-story. Though not much else is known about the upcoming Loki season, the teaser trailer shows us Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie wearing a vintage McDonald’s uniform on an alternate timeline. We also hear Owen Wilson say “wow!” twice.
