The combo meal includes a burger with cheese, bacon and lettuce, a medium order of fries with barbecue sauce, and a Sprite with ice. You can eat like Scott for $6 until Oct. 4 in the contiguous 48 states.

According to McDonald’s, the month-long collaboration will involve not just burgers and fries but other upcoming surprises for fans.

At the launch of his namesake meal, Scott implied that the collaboration will include a charitable objective. 

“I couldn’t be more excited to bring the Cactus Jack x McDonald’s collaboration to life,” said Scott. “We are bringing together two iconic worlds. Including a charitable component was key for me, and I can’t wait for people to see what we have in store.” 

“Everyone has a favorite McDonald’s meal, no matter who you are,” McDonald’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, Morgan Flatley said. “Travis is a true McDonald’s fan having grown up visiting our restaurants in Houston, not to mention one of the biggest musical acts and cultural icons in the world.”
