WHAT is this? And, why is it wearing no clothes? I'm afraid you are looking at the latest addition to the Gallery of Regrettable Happy Meal Toys.I really did mean to break up with McDonald's. But, deep down I guess I wish for the old days....the days when a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal was possibly the most delicious creation on God's green Earth. When will I grow up and realize that the bastard has changed forever? The nastiness factor is off the charts. It will never be the way it once was between us.

Are you serious??? That's what they're giving out at McDonald's? That's why you see kids walking around like hookers. Well, that and I'm sure the parents that buy those clothes are top-notch parents.
I remember when I was little and we'd drive from Houston to Austin. When I'd see the McDonald's billboard near Giddings I'd say I needed to use the bathroom. I thought I was so cleaver. hehehe. Too bad we didn't always get something.
By the way...I meant I thought I was "clever" not "cleaver." I didn't think I was a knife. hehehe.
I guess I should read my comments before I post. Sorry.
HAHAHAHA....do they have complimentary bra pads in the bigger kids meals???
Well, that sucks. Last time we went there we got a bracelet, which I thought was acceptable. That is just plain weird. I still like a good quarter pounder though. I'm not going to lie.
We got one of those atrocities too- and I had a talk with my girls aobut why Mommy doesn't like Barbies (and also the McD's toys.) I think they mostly ignored me, but they did agree that it WOULD be weird to walk around on tippy toes all the time...
I've never had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Maybe I should look into it. I always say that, and never do it. I'll let you know if I do so.
Um, what is up with the Happy Meal toys? Scary. That does explain a lot about kids nowadays...
Is that one of those Bratz? Very ridiculous toys. Ashlyn now knows Sponge bob because of a happy meal. I could have gone without that knowledge for a very long time as well.
I knew you would be back! I always loved ordering the same thing for us when I went through the drive thru....ah the memories.
We just went there and got the bracelet. I wasn't aware of the whore doll. I am not a Barbie liker either, but I must say the toys make for a great discussion in the car about what not to do.. then I secretly throw them away when they are sleeping. It is a great feeling to throw things away. And the Quinn report.. You have NEVER had a quarter pounder. I am not sure that is legal in the US:) We had McD's today. Great minds think alike.
Eeeeew, I despise McDonald's. Did I spell despise right? I am so tired from creating the world's greatest kitchen so I do not have to go out to McDonald's - ever, I cannot tell. Oh well. Whore doll.
whatever happened to getting mcdonald's characters in the happy meal? grimace? ronald? helloooo? must we subject our children to slutty barbies instead?
i'm the second member of the never-a-quarter-pounder club. just two hamburgers, please.
Molly-- I don't know if I approve of Grimace or Ronald or any of those sketchy characters as an alternative. I mean, Ronald looks like a scarypedophilemassmurdererfreakazoid. And who knows what Grimace even is? A baby who got fat eating to many genetically-modified chicken nuggets? Who turned purple because his throat fat constricted his lungs?
Hey, I just thought of you this morning. I was looking on Victorias Secret, and they have a pair of Popcorn PJ's on sale. The pants have popcorn all over them and the shirt says Hot And Fresh...to spice things up a little I guess!
I saw them and they screamed you....Katie with her Parmesean and Popcorn..Yum!
susan, good point. also, what about the hamburgler? the dude wore a black bandanda over his eyes and was always running around stealing happy meals. so, in summary, the characters were:
- a pedophile
- a fat blob
- and a felon
nice.
We got 'Old McDonald's' over the weekend and got the bracelet toy, too. I'm glad it wasn't the skanky ho toy. (The bracelets are in the trash now anyway.) Those Bratz dolls have made for good conversation - sort of - that usually has ended with 'It's only a doll, Mom'. I think it's sad when we got to a McD's with chairs shaped like the McD characters and my kids ask who/what they are.
So Katie and I have another problem with Ronald McDonald. Why, oh why, would a man dressed like a clown want to invite sick kids over to his house? It's a little too John Wayne Gacy creepo. Plus, now Ronald pretty much only interacts with real kids in commercials. We may have been safer with Grimace.
Also, Birdy the Early Bird has not yet been discussed. She would be the yellow anthropomorphic bird who is might be the bastard child of Tweety and was probably fathered by Big Bird. Apparently she likes all the McDonaldland men...alot. So us girls have been getting skanky ho training from McD's as early as the 1980's.
Clearly I need to stop looking up McDonald's on Wikipedia...
Susan and Molly--Y'all are CRACKING ME UP!
I don't get why Grimace is named that. Wouldn't you think you should have a POSITIVE word association for your business mascot? Especially when your business is FOOD?
Come eat at McDonald's! It will make you fat and pained.
