McDonald's testing a new sci-fi themed restaurant concept called Cosmix

McDonald's is piloting a new restaurant concept called Cosmic, which is a sci-fi themed spin-off. The concept is drive-through and delivery-centric, with a menu that focuses on breakfast items, desserts, and specialty coffee and tea drinks. The restaurant design does not overtly reflect the sci-fi theme and is located next to an existing McDonald's. The choice to revive the forgotten mascot, Cosmic, with this concept is perplexing, as there seems to be little connection between the character and the restaurant's theme or offerings.
