But... adults can buy Happy Meals. I distinctly remember an ex-bf of mine buying one, because we wanted a pokémon figurine. I still have it somewhere.

They should have honestly just marketed happy meals kids who wanted quarter pounders and big macs.

Yes, it can be used as a life lesson. Give them the options at an early age, the ones who go through with it and weigh 600lbs by age 15 are clearly the stupid ones and should be casted aside.

And they get to die quickly, while their parents are covering their resource draining health issues.

lets twist this logic a bit to show how it could be used against folks, lets legalize all the drugs and lower the required age for all of them to 18 the ones that use them will serve as an anti example and be cast out from civalised socitiy.

That’s what they’re doing. McDonald’s would get heat for feeding kids bigger portions because it’s poison. This way they can pretend the happy meals are actually for bearded millennials

Both McD and BK used to have the "Mighty Kids" option for older kids that came with both toys and somewhat bigger portions for this exact purpose.

They all did away with them some time ago for reasons I don't know.

The problem with Happy Meals is that it comes with milk and slimly apple slices in liue of soda and fries and if you do get fries it's half the size of a small fry unless you go thru the hassle of asking for soda and a small fry.

What they should've done is let people order a kids happy meal with fries and soda and just call it a "classic happy meal" and everyone will be happy and no one will order the shitty big mike friendly bullshit happy meal.

Haven't been to McD in around 5 years so maybe thing changed.

I can't see ditching the empty carbs and cancer drink as a bad thing.

We weren't poor but growing up McDonald's was like a once a month thing and road trip food and it was always a treat. Just give the little tykes a small fry and soda once in a while, it aint gonna kill them.

They do it to trick parents into thinking it's healthy(er) and it's okay to feed your kids it more often. The problem was never the tallow fried french fries or the 16oz "small" soda. The problem is parents who take their kids to McD every other day instead of cooking them homecooked meals.

I don't have data or statistics to back it up but I bet the parents who regularly feed their kids the new happy meal twice a week feeds their kids all sorts of other garbage as well. And the kids who eat happy meals twice a week most likely leaves the apple slices untouched like the touchpads of the steam deck.

Kids are resilient, my post was in reply to adults ordering them and an adult complaining about milk and apples vs a turbo jumbo fatass fry package and a soda.

I think you can also just ask for the toy and buy it separately. I also didn't learn until I was an adult that you could ask what you they put in the meal and choose if they had more than one. That would have been a game-changer when I was a kid because I had so many duplicates when we went there.
