TheMcDonald’sgaming chair giveaway is an attempt by the McDonald’s UK branch to promote the new McCrispy sandwich. As such, the McDonald’s gaming chair has “McCrispy” written all over it. It includes a McCrispy-branded pillow, a specially-designed holder for McDonald’s fries, sauce trays, and a hot box so gamers can keep their McCrispy sandwich warm while they’re playing games. The McDonald’s gaming chair is said to be stain-proof, so winners shouldn’t have to worry about ruining the leather if they decide to eat and game at the same time.
A McDonald’s-themed gaming chair is bizarre, but it would make a great collector’s item for whoever wins it. In the meantime, those who want a different kind of specially-themed gaming chair may want to search online for one based on one of their favorite gaming franchises.Gaming chair manufacturer Secretlabhas quite the extensive collection, though they can sometimes get a little pricey.
