Ba da da da da da... "I'm lovin' it!" You could be singing that familiar jingle on your way out the door of the golden arches, wearing your crocs while chowing down a big Mac. If you want some Crocs with your fries, McDonald's inspired crocs are here! Happy holidays!

The two companies have come together to bring to market a limited -edition footwear collection, inspired by McDonald's characters. Which might lead you to wonder, what's next? McNugget Snuggies? McSnuggies? Hmm. It's the collab we didn't know we needed. This collaboration stars the shoes, socks and “Jibbitz” (those adorable little charms that go inside the holes of Crocs)

McDonald's Crocs- Options and Prices

So, what exactly will these crocs look like? The lineup includes three classic Crocs and one Crocs sandal featuring Mickey D's mascots. Yup, you'll see the Hamburglar, Grimace and Birdie. And of course, the shoes will be in the fast-food chain's colors of red and yellow.

Cute, right? But $75 cute? You decide. The Crocs with Jibbitz charms will run you $70-$75 per pair. And frankly, nobody wants just one. There are socks too, and those are available for $20. Get those at select Crocs retailers. You can purchase any of the above on the Croc's website. 

Ironically, the former and longtime CEO of McDonald's was Ray Kroc. No relation. And according to CNN, this isn't the first time the shoe brand has worked with other companies. Their other collaboration featured Shrek and Lightning McQueen-inspired shoes.

If red and yellow aren't your colors, these "McCrocs" are available with 4 options. There's a "purple Grimace-inspired sock and sandal combo, a yellow and pink Birdie clog and sock combo, a black and white Hamburglar clog with white socks featuring animated burgers and a red and yellow croc clog featuring Jibbitz of popular menu items," as reported by CNN.

Fast food in Massachusetts is plentiful, just as it is across the United States. But what fast food chains are the most popular in Mass?

Gambling.com asked the question recently, and they came up with this list: The Most Popular Fast Food Rankings in the Bay State. You can visit Gambling.com's Massachusett's page here. And we'll dive into the list below, which certainly had some chains you'd expect (the No. 1 will come as no surprise), but also had a few unexpected entries.

First though, a little bit of my own pontificating. I'm of the mind that, when you ask someone what their favorite fast food joint is, more often than not they'll answer with the chain the grew up closest to. Case in point: when I was growing up in Greenwood, we had McDonald's right on Main St. It was our summer oasis between games of stickball at Greenwood school. From early on, I had a taste for Mickey Dee's. And to this day, I'll still find myself craving the 2 Cheeseburgers Meal. It used to be $2.99 for 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and a coke!

Personal theories aside, how was the research gathered for this one? How were the numbers crunched? Here's how:

The research team at Gambling.com analyzed Google Trends statistics to discover what MA’s favorite Fast Food Chains and Takeout Cuisines were over the past 7 days. Four different fast food related phrases were analyzed on Google Trends to measure the popularity of each Fast Food Chain. Separately, three phrases were used to measure the different Takeout Cuisines. The totals for all phrases were then added together for each chain/takeout type. Finally the Fast Food Chains and Takeout Cuisines were ranked by popularity.

Makes sense to me! So let's see how the Top 20 shook out.

1) Dunkin'

Then: "Time to make the donuts..."

Now: "America runs on Dunkin'!"

2) Domino's

Then: The Noid

Now: The Pizza Tracker

3) Panera Bread

"Pan" means bread, so technically it's Bread-era Bread.

4) Chipotle

It's pronounced "chuh-POWT-lay." Like the pepper.

5) Taco Bell

Then: "Yo quiero Taco Bell"

Also Then: Forthmeal. Remember when they tried to make that a thing?

6) McDonald's

Two cheeseburgers meal for $2.99 back in the day. A deal you'll never beat.

7) Subway

Amazing to see this placed so high in a state where there's a local sandwich shop on every corner.

8) Burger King

Then: "Have it your way!"

Now: Creepy-ass Burger King showing up unannounced, creepin'.

9) Chick-Fil-A

"Grew a mustache and a mullet, got a job at Chic-Fil-A..." - Ben Folds, "Army"

10) KFC

Then: "Finger Lickin' Good!"

Also Then: Norm MacDonald as the Colonel. RIP.

11) Popeyes

Remember the Popeyes that used to be by Fenway Park?

12) Wendy's

Then: Chocolate Frosty

Now: Vanilla Frosty

13T) Pizza Hut

The $5 all-you-can-eat pizza buffet was a gamechanger back in the day.

13T) Dairy Queen

Bless up to all the Dairy Queens in MA that have to close their doors in the winter.

13T) Five Guys

Are they more famous for the burgers or for the giant bags of peanuts?

16T) Panda Express

To all you college kids who hit your local mall for a faceful of free Panda Express samples to save a little dough: we see you.

16T) Little Caesars

Then: "Pizza Pizza"

Now: $5 Hot-N-Ready

18T) Papa Johns

Then: Dunking your crust in the garlic butter sauce.

Now: Dunking your entire slice in the garlic butter sauce.

18T) Wingstop

It is "Wing Stop" or "Wings Top?" Asking for a friend.

20) Sonic Drive-In

When Sonic finally migrated to MA about 20 years ago, it was a revelation.
