I Finally Found The Solution to the Happy Meal Toy
Annoying Happy Meal Toys
Everytime I’m in a rush to get the kids fed and happy before we have an evening engagement I bring them to McDonald’s. While I know eating that crap doesn’t exactly count as eating, but it does provide something to fill their tummies when I’m in a hurry so that they aren’t whiny and bugging the hell out of me. My biggest complaint about the place is the stupid happy meal toy that they charge you extra for. That bloody toy causes us the most grief! Either they can’t figure out the toy, or they didn’t get the one they wanted. Which bring me to the question: Why on earth do they show all the toys, even the ones that aren’t available?
I’ve finally come to a solution – a much cheapter solution too!
I now buy a 10 pack McNuggets meal, upsize the fries and bring our own juice or milk (my kids always spill the ones McDonald’s provides). We no longer get, or fight over the toy. Now the girls and I share the meal, and if everyone ate their 3 nuggets and fries we can get a dessert. Woot! Problem solved!
ahhhh yes, the dreaded Happy Meal Toy.
E is 7 now and at times can eat like a horse. He keeps insisting on a HM but if I get him one, he’s still hungry. I’ve gone to getting him two $1 McDoubles. I know that sounds like a lot, but he doesn’t get fries and sometimes he doesn’t finish it all but will save it. Or I might get him the meal with 2 cheeseburgers. If he doesn’t eat it all, that’s ok, save it, but having him still hungry with only a cheap piece of junk toy that I’ll end up throwing away when I get tired of seeing it on the floor…? lol
YES much better without the toy!
