Are you willing to pay twice the price for an adult happy meal

[citruscurtis]

My retro 80/70s radio station announced that Tuesday the 12 adult happy meals are being offered and the higher price is for a specific special toy and shakes... it's concept has been out for awhile as there is much information on line

 

[Peaseblossom36]

No, I wouldn't. I don't really do McDonalds though, unless there isn't another choice.

 

[anrew]

Definitely yes!

 

[Smugpugmug]

McDonald's isn't even worth the prices they have now. Why would I pay more lol

 

[bobbiwoz]

I am not interested.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! For the price of that Adult Happy Meal, I could have been closer to Disney.

Interesting observation...in that I discovered that winter was hard on their sales but spring better...and so what I observed is that the promotion is a "go fund me" stimulus

 

[Meriweather]

no.....not a place I ever go to anyway

 

[FreeTime]

No. I order Happy Meals now for the smaller meal sizes. No need to get a bigger meal.

 

[disneychrista]

Unlikely. I generally buy a kids meal or kids meal equivalent when I do go to McDonalds or other fast food and it is typically plenty of food.

 

[ronandannette]

Nope. I'd need someone to even explain the concept. On occasion, when we have to do McDonald's, I always get a Happy Meal. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that it's marketed for kids and they put no age restriction on who can buy them. Why would I want to pay more?

It's a choice between a quarter pounder or 10 piece nuggets, and includes a shake... that alone would increase the cost.

That alone is way too much calorie dense food and there are fries with that.

 

[White Cat]

Yes if I wanted it. But would tell them to keep the toy.

 

[_19disnA]

Doubt that most adults are interested regardless of whatever sort of 'toy' is included..................LOL.

Oh my... this could be the post of the day... I think McDonald's is focused on the toy desirebilty rather than food.if I wasn't 70 year old... I would just for the limited

 

[citruscurtis]

.....and huh ...that is a yo-yo

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

People underestimate adult crazes on nostalgia although I have no idea why we all actually know how strong that can be so marketing-wise I absolutely can see why the option is being offered.

It's not about the food portion size it's about the toy so under normal circumstances someone may happen to order a happy meal just for the smaller portion sizes this promotion isn't meant for those people. Just remove the happy meal lexicon here and think of it like a meal with a toy being offered.

This also isn't new at all. They've been doing this for at least several years on and off. It sells.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Nope. I pretty much consider Mickey D's double cheeseburger meal an adult happy meal and it's just 25% more here than a happy meal.

McDonalds won the burger wars with a clown, cheap toys, and playgrounds. It wasn't their burgers.
