The rest of the sides feature the usual assortment of activities that I know I rarely if ever even bothered with as a kid. As such, Ronald never knew what toy he was hocking and they couldn’t have him holding a Transformers box, if they were shilling Dick Tracy toys. The ones Ronald had on TV were always this plain box, but that was because the commericals were obviously filmed before the promotions. Typically the Happy Meal box was covered in advertisement junk and “games”. Sure, all the ones on the TV commericals with Ronald looked like this… But never, EVER did any I had as a kid look like this. I have NEVER in my life seen a real Happy Meal box that looked like this. The most puzzling part about the box is that one side is plain red with the yellow smile on it. I was pretty surprised to see that the Happy Meal box was back! They converted to the sacks in most McDonalds years ago. The last time I got a Happy Meal, it came in a sack. This isn’t a normal review, but I must admit the packaging really struck me.

No mail away toy ads in comic books… But the McDonald’s Happy Meal toys are still around and I’ll be damned, pretty cool too! These days, many of the old staples are gone. One of the best parts of childhood was getting a toy with a burger.

Sometimes it was awesome, sometimes it was lame, but whatever the case I had a ton of them. When I was a kid, the McDonald’s Happy Meal toy was sacred. The Happy Meal was the perfect size, so I ordered them and as a result… Got a toy!

I ordered my Big Mac, but being a glutton, I also wanted a few chicken McNuggets. I don’t eat there too much, but a few times a year I get a craving. So a couple weeks ago I stopped into McDonalds.
