McDonald's viral cookie tote considered the next 'hack' for your sweet tooth. Here's why.
McDonald's warm chocolate chip cookies aren't new, but the fast food chain is serving them by the baker's dozen in a now-viral cookie tote.
The yellow cardboard cookie tote boxes are making rounds on social media, with many users recently discovering that McDonald's sells the totes, which include 13 soft-baked chocolate chip cookies. Users on TikTok helped drive the tote's online popularity, along with other lesser-known creations like McDonald's Cotton Candy Sprite from its "secret menu."
Here's why McDonald's cookie totes are buzzing online, and how to get one for yourself.
Each cookie tote contains 13 McDonald's chocolate chip cookies housed in a cardboard carrier. The fast-food chain usually serves the cookies warm for a soft-baked, melted chocolate feel. The cookie tote contains 13 cookies, and each individual cookie is 170 calories.
TikTok user @HellthyJunkFood's video shows a price point of around $6 for the 13-pack cookie box, but it can cost about $8 in states like California, according to the comments.
The tote is available at participating McDonald's, and customers can also order a cookie tote through the McDonald's app.
There are 615 McDonald's restaurants in Ohio, according to the web scraping tool ScrapeHero.

Prince George's Gesture to Prince Louis on Palace Balcony Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Prince George telling Prince Louis when to stop waving from the Buckingham Palace balcony has gone viral on TikTok. The future king, who turns 12 next month, helped his younger brother with a little bit of balcony etiquette as they watched King Charles III's birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, on Saturday. Louis was enjoying himself waving to the crowds of cheering fans when George stepped in to let him know when it was time to stop. Prince Louis and Prince George depart Buckingham Palace in a horse-drawn carriage during Trooping The Colour, in London, England, on June 14, 2025. Prince Louis and Prince George depart Buckingham Palace in a horse-drawn carriage during Trooping The Colour, in London, England, on June 14, 2025. Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Why It Matters The moment was caught on camera and went viral after a post on TikTok was liked 16,900 times and had 234,000 views, having been posted with the caption: "Sigma." Sigma, based on the letter from the Greek alphabet, in youth slang refers to someone who follows their own rules, unbound by social hierarchies and expectations. Prince Louis is known for his cheeky, rebellious behavior on the palace balcony, which has won hearts over the years. What to Know In the clip, Louis can be seen waving to the crowds before appearing to look surprised at the way royal fans responded. Trooping the Colour is an annual military parade marking the official birthday of the British monarch, though not on their actual birthday, which in Charles' case is in November and Queen Elizabeth II was born in April. But Trooping is always on a Saturday in the middle of June. Louis has a long history as the royal family's meme machine, melting hearts and creating instantly viral content from the Buckingham Palace balcony and at other major royal events. Among the most famous examples was at Trooping the Colour in June 2022, the opening day of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations when he covered his ears during a flypast by the Royal Air Force. What People Are Saying One fan commented, "Why did George stop him? louis was so cute," while the creator of the video replied: "By that time, Louis had already begun to fool around instead of greeting the crowd, that's why George stopped him." Another fan wrote: "So cuteee the way louis looked at his mom twice😭😭he's like 'look mom!! I'm famous!! you're right! people love me!!'" And a third said: "Louis literally the happiest boy in the world by his fans." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.

Uniqlo Is Back With Another Hit—This Time, It's a Jacket
There's something uniquely elegant about a sporty jacket with a stand collar or funnel neck zipped right to the top, with material slightly shrouding the chin. It looks especially nonchalant when the wearer's hair is tucked in–a Phoebe Philo-ism that adds mystique to the enveloping silhouette. While this neckline (and hair tuck) has been popularised on the runway, Uniqlo's windproof blouson–a new style that's already generating hype–serves as proof that this cut can be well executed at a more affordable price point. Made from a breeze-preventing shell, the jacket features a stand collar that echoes those that are currently trending among the luxury houses, with a drawstring on the hemline to create a closer fit on the hips, angled side pockets and a hood that doubles up as padding for the collar when it's stowed away. At first glance, it resembles a humble weatherproof jacket you would wear to a festival or for classic outdoorsy activities, but I think that it's actually better suited to city wear. If you pull the drawstrings in around the waist and adjust the collar, it's a world away from your standard pac-a-mac. And unlike its designer counterparts, it's under $50. Vogue Shopping producer, Mia Portet, wearing the jacket with coordinating trousers. Mia Portet Erica Wright, founder of Sourcewear, in her Uniqlo jacket. Courtesy of Erica Wright Founder of Sourcewhere, Erica Wright, has created a business centered around tracking down coveted designer pieces for clients, such as one-of-a-kind Birkins, Cartier Tank watches, Alaïa flats and Old Céline, but she won't overlook an excellent high-street purchase. Erica immediately fell for the charm of the Uniqlo blouson while on a trip to Asia earlier this year. 'I'd gone in for a T-shirt, and this technical jacket caught my eye,' she tells Vogue of her chance discovery. 'The proportions are precise, and there's a clarity to the design–it has structure, but it moves easily. It feels put together, but not overworked. There's a quiet kind of luxury when you style something considered, yet accessible, alongside a beautifully-made piece, such as a pair of shoes from The Row or a bag from Jil Sander–the result feels more elevated, more assured.' The jacket is cropped but has an oversized fit on the arms and chest, so I'd recommend staying true to size–I wore an XS (my usual size), which was perfect. If you want an even slouchier appearance or to have extra room for layers to maximize its usage beyond the warmer months, then try the men's style. It is longer at the hemline, with the addition of large, parka-esque pockets on the front. Shop more cult buys from Uniqlo:

The new jingle for Sam Altman's human verification service will get stuck in your very human brain
When was the last time you identified as human? Typically, we identify with who we are as it applies to our career (accountant!), family dynamic (mom!), sports (Pacers!), and arts and culture (deadhead!). Rarely have we ever felt or had the need to make the distinction between human or . . . not. But in the age of AI, it's increasingly become a priority. Back in April, Tools for Humanity —a start-up cofounded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—unveiled its solution to this problem. It's a brand called World, an identity and financial network that includes a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin and an unprecedented piece of hardware: The Orb. The volleyball-size spherical device uses a retina scan to authenticate users as a human, and then provides a digital verification code. So far, World has more than 27 million participants and nearly 13 million verified humans across more than 20 countries. Its goal is to verify 50 million people by the end of 2025, and eventually sign up every single human being on the planet. The company hopes the biometric verification code it creates will essentially be our digital passport, to ward against fake AI-driven content, and needed for everything from online banking to dating apps. Altman told Time, 'If this really works, it's like a fundamental piece of infrastructure for the world.' But first, it needs to convince us all to use it. Now, to mark its U.S. debut—with the opening of World retail locations and Orb installation in six U.S. cities (Austin, Nashville, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, and Atlanta) World has launched a new ad campaign to establish its own brand identity with the humans it hopes to attract. Set the tone Created with ad agency BBDO New York, 'Human and You Know It' is an earnest, peppy jingle ad that positions the Orb as an invaluable tool for, and ally in, our AI-driven future. We see cavemen lighting fires, Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, one of the Wright Brothers flying an early aircraft, all singing this peppy ode to human ingenuity. 'World was created so that everyone could benefit from what's happening around the age of AI,' says Tools for Humanity chief marketing officer John Patroulis. 'What we're hoping to do with a piece like this is celebrate what it is to be human, the vulnerabilities. So we were trying to capture the feeling of who we are and what we're trying to accomplish.' It's a similar message to what OpenAI CMO Kate Rouch told me earlier this year on Fast Company 's Brand New World podcast. Her goal with work like the brand's Super Bowl ad was to show what the product can do for us, while expressing the company's values. 'In all of our advertising, we'll really try to show and lead with the technology, what it can do for people and how it can benefit people,' Rouch said. Again, the people part is key. BBDO executive creative director Jimm Lasser says that the tone and personality here is perhaps the most important part. There's a reason they used a familiar song in a familiar advertising context. For an unprecedented product and brand, there were a lot of questions to answer to get to that tone. Should it be earnest? Optimistic? Funny? All of that? Then they had to figure out how much of it needed to explain the Orb technology and how it works. 'It was a challenge, I'm not gonna lie,' says Lasser. 'I told my wife I think this is the weirdest thing I've ever worked on. It took a lot of unpacking. First, you have to understand the technology, and then you have to believe. You have to put your cynicism aside—which you're naturally going to have—and really look at it, at what this could do for humans.' This isn't a product demo. It's a personality test. The World brand is telling us who it is and why we should trust it if it's to be, as Altman says, a fundamental piece of infrastructure for the world. It needs to be friendly, nonthreatening, somewhat inspiring, and yes, optimistic. Tone matters in all advertising, but within the context of our AI-driven existential instability, even more. Just ask Apple 'Crush' or Google 'Dear Sydney.' Amid all of our AI fears and concerns, World knows it needs to feel more like Peppa Pig than Emperor Palpatine. It wouldn't quite hit the same if they were all singing, ' More Human Than Human ' by White Zombie. Brand spirit One of the keys to hitting that tone was director and ad legend Jim Jenkins, who is perhaps known more for big, funny Super Bowl ads like State Farm's 2024 Arnold Schwarzenegger spot, and Uber Eats' big game ad this year with Matthew McConaughey. The World spot is light and juuuust goofy enough. Sure, it'll make some people cringe but it's not going to scare anybody. While the bulk of the ad is simply shows good ol' humans singing the jingle, at the end, a woman uses The Orb to show us what all the fuss is about, tying the spirit of the brand to its product. Lasser says this was also a crucial part of the tone. 'Having worked on car advertising for a long time, it's always important to see how people interact with the car,' says Lasser. 'Here, we really thought through how that interaction with the Orb takes place, that you can see the scale. You need to see the scale of it in comparison to a human, her gaze slightly down, all these things make it feel nonthreatening and something that is a tool.' The goal is clear, but the cultural context is much more murky. Despite the reassurances of its use as just a tool, AI is threatening very real jobs, and—if you subscribe to the predictions of the AI 2027 report, written by former AI researchers—the very fabric of society, in an incredibly short period of time. That's quite a brand challenge. Still, Patroulis says that World has the best tool to take on this challenge: An actual purpose. Many brands struggle with why they exist in the first place, which ultimately impacts their ability to convince you and I to buy in. For World, the goal is clear: To help humans make the most of this AI moment. 'When you're true and authentic to what it is, you're always in the right place,' says Patroulis. 'That guides everything we're doing and we wanted this piece to express that. We do a lot to make sure that people are very empowered with information. And the more time you spend with it, and the more you understand it, the better it is, frankly, for the project. That wasn't the goal here. This piece was about capturing the spirit.'
