We’re not sure what’s in Singapore’s tap water, but there must be something in there that has made queueing a Singaporean culture quirk. It doesn’t matter if they’re concert tickets or a Hello Kitty toy – as long as they’re in limited quantities, you can bet we’ll be standing in line for one of these bad boys.
The latest obsession? The McDonald’s McGriddles hoodie that saw hundreds queue overnight. We hear there’s even going to be KFC reversible bucket hats launching on 7th August 2023. But if you’re like me and chose sleep over standing in line, there’s no need to FOMO. We’ve scoured around and found 8 unofficial fast food merch you can buy online.

The Millennials and up among us will remember Wendy’s being a staple fast food restaurant in the 1980s and 1990s in Singapore. We won’t be able to help quell any cravings you might have for their square-shaped burger patties and thick milkshakes. But we’ve got quite the alternative: a Wendy’s shoulder bag.
Ok, it’s not the same as sinking your teeth into a Baconator, but these satchels branded with Wendy and her red-hair pigtails are cute enough to tote around your daily essentials.

There are 10 designs to choose from such as sprinkle donuts, ice coffee, and Dunkin Donuts logo. But at $0.59 each, we think you should get the whole lot.

So, technically, Milo isn’t a fast food chain. But the fact that you can get the beverage at most fast food restaurants in Singapore justifies its place on this list. If you regularly up-sai your Happy Meal to include ice Milo, then we can’t imagine saying no to this Milo “shoe” crossbody bag. It’s got adjustable straps and even a pocket on the inside to hold your EZ-Link card.
