  "account": "McDonald's will reintroduce its popular Happy Meal Pokémon card promotion in November, according to reports. Fifteen cards will be available for kids to collect in Happy Meals from November 5 to December 9, 2022. Each meal will come with a four-card booster pack containing three regular cards and one holo. McDonald's has not disclosed which cards will be included this time around, though fans are hoping the set will feature something more special, such as the Pikachu card from Japan. Last year's Japanese promotion saw masses of uneaten burgers discarded in the streets as fans and scalpers chased the limited edition cards, leading McDonald's to cancel the giveaways early and implement stricter rules. McDonald's has yet to confirm the details of this promotion, but it is expected to be announced in the coming days.",
  "summary": "Pokémon cards will return to McDonald's Happy Meals soon, with 15 more cards to collect.",
