Adults, do you buy yourself a Happy Meal?

[hrh_disney_queen]

If I am going to eat a McDonalds hamburger, I usually get myself a Happy Meal. For me, it's just the right amount of food, and ok, I do enjoy the little toy you get in it. I save them up for treats for my kids. Do any of you guys eat Happy Meals, too?

 

[llij]

Yes, I've bought a happy meal before when I wasn't that hungry. I just gave the toy to my kids.

I don't eat at Mickey D's often because they don't take cards and I don't carry much cash, BUT, I almost always order kids meals when eating fast food.

ChickFilA and Backyard Burger are my faves, personally. Though I usually give them back the toy since I have no children to gift them with. Chick Fil A will give you a free ice cream cone in exchange if you want, but I usually pass.

Yep, I sure do! For $2.11 I get a hamburger, fries and a drink. It's just enough for me.

 

[monkeyboy]

I buy it for the toys

 

[Cruisin]

Yes, I get a Hamburger Happy Meal when I go to McDonald's

 

[KristaTX]

hmmm. . . I usually just eat a regular cheeseburger and fries, but I never think to get a Happy Meal. I'll have to see what the toy is next time .

I don't like McDonald's too much, but yes I do get the Happy Meals for myself if we go. The other combos are too big, and since my own kids are too old for the toys, I can use the toy in my prize box.

I buy a salad or just a cheeseburger. I wont buy my little kids happy meals. I buy the two cheeseburger meal, they each get a cheeseburger, share the fries and I get one extra apple juice.

Now, I exchange the fries for the apples which my kids love.

Yes, it is just the right amount of food for me. Then, I give the toy to my grandson or take them when we travel to give away to "stressed out kids" if their parents will let me. We can 'upgrade' the drink to a bigger size, here, if we want to so that gives me enough to take along, too. I am REALLY into the Ty Beanie Baby toys!!

I do now. I love the apple and milk option and its a good portion size. Ok. I like the Happy Meal Toys, too!

Yes, my DS's each have a full set-minus one- of those doggone things. They are really well done, this time around. And of course, I was THRILLED to get "Fries" the Dis-Lime-Green Bear. He is perfect!!

I was also thrilled when they came out with the apples/juice/milk option. Now my kids don't even get to choose from soft drinks-it's either milk or apple juice. It makes me feel a little better..

I do if there is a toy I want. The bears are cute right now and my aunt said that in Oct they'll be doing Madame Alexander dolls again and this time with Mickey & Minnie dolls. I'll definately be going then but if I really want the entire set of toys I've found that buying them on ebay is much less stress and cheaper in the long run than trying to find all the toys.

I don't eat McDonalds all that much, but when I do yes it is usually a Happy Meal. I usually do the chicken nugget one. The current prize is the teeny beanie babies which are cute

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Shhh....it's a secret, but yes I do

I like ChickFila's food better, but their toys suck...They are a "moral" company (closed on Sunday for ex.) and all their toys are usually a book about history or moral stories. I would be bummed if I was a kid and I got THAT in my kiddie meal...

Look out, parents of boys....HOT WHEELS is the next toy coming out!!! My kids can't wait..

 

[janette]

Here's a picture of the Mickey & Minnie dolls they'll be doing. She said the other's are Pinnocho and the Blue Fairy. I tried to find a complete list but haven't come up with one yet.

 

[Snowwark]

That's what I do...Cheeseburger Happy Meal!

I could eat something bigger, but I try to restrain myself.

 

[sk!mom]

I don't eat McD's very often, but I order kids meals at all the fast food places. It's just the right amount of food. My fave is Chick fil-A.

Our Mcky D's takes cards.
