The collectible set includes 15 exclusive toys: six scented character figures, each with a gold variation, and three color‑changing spoons. Here's the breakdown:

  • Pompompurin: cookie dough scented
  • Hello Kitty: cherry scented

  • My Melody: strawberry scented
  • Cinnamoroll: vanilla scented
  • Hangyodon: color-changing spoon
  • Keroppi: color-changing spoon
  • Badtz-Maru: color-changing spoon

Each Wacky Pack Meal starts with your choice of entrée, Allrecipes reports: Choose a hamburger, chicken tenders, a hot dog, a corn dog or a grilled cheese. Each meal includes a side of either Groovy Fries, Tots or an applesauce pouch. Then, choose a fountain drink, milk, apple juice - or upgrade to one of Sonic's signature beverages, such as Ocean Water, for a small fee.

Hello Kitty remains a pop-culture sensation ever since launching in the 1970s, especially in recent months after news of an upcoming feature film delighted fans. Announced last October, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and New Line Cinema are moving ahead with a movie based around the iconic character, dating Hello Kitty for July 21, 2028. Find out more details here.
