When they put beanie babies in the happy meals, even the adults were buying them!

that's interesting & kinda disturbing ! but i guess since they are always promoting movies & constantly getting new toys.. it's so appealing to kids.

I never, ever eat at fast food restaurants, thus my children shall never eat at fast food restaurants. I worked at one in high school. What goes on in kitchen area is horrible.

We eat McD's because it's CHEAP but we do dollar menu. Happy Meals are for any RARE occasions when we might only have 1 or 2 kids with us, instead of the whole gang, or if the kids want to spend their own money on a treat. I can't see paying extra for a junkie toy that will break within a week in most cases, and a box.

Hmm. Someone actually bothered to research this? Surely they could find something better to do with their time.

It's almost as bad as:

Q: What is the most common phrase used in the movies?

A: "Let's get out of here!"

I'm not sure that one's a fact though, just off-the-wall trivia.
