Happy Meals For Adults

Kids nowadays get everything & when it comes to Happy Meals from McDonald’s do you think there should be one for adults? I do! On the other hand what should the happy meal include?

Yes

No

[Aiko_E_Lara]

McDonald's being made for kids is their marketing strategy. Because kids don't go alone in restaurants so they bring their parents with them and with the kids ordering, there's a high chances parents will order for themselves too if they get hungry so they often get double or triple sales. Avoiding adult meals is because McDonald's is a fast food and adult meals usually take time to prepare. A simple solution. Just don't eat at McDonalds. It's just like looking for a Pizza in a Chinese restaurant.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Oh happy meals not meals. I only read meals. Either way, what I said still applies.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

When it comes to marketing some of these companies & their ideas, talk about genius. Some of the grocery stores in my area sell hot fully cooked chickens for $5.00 just to get people in the store to buy other stuff.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

But mcdonald's company managed to become a huge one after all. They just don't want their standards to change and that is what made kids love McDonald's.

Well I mean it might work if there's like a point system. Like each meal gives you a certain amount of points and then you can trade it in for a prize or something.

Cause I don't think there's any cheap piece of plastic that's going to attract adults.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A point system I like that idea & a point system that doesn’t expire like most of their games.

[AlienParasite]

Why not? The toys could be adult themed or generational themed.

The Adult themed ones could be sarisfyier toys, weird condoms or so.

Generational toys could be 80's toys or 90's toys for nostalgia. For example a tamagotchi or any similar retro pocket game of cheap production, with games like pong or space invaders. 🤔

[foodtv]

Are you suggesting portion wise or including a toy?

[Static_In_The_Attic]

That is a wonderful question & I would have to roll with both. A regular kids happy meal wouldn’t make a dent in my stomach & to be honest I would consider that snack sized. As for the adult happy meals maybe there should be choices such as a small, medium & large version to make people happy. As for a toy every happy meal needs a toy & not your average every day kids toy.

[MuffinBoi]

Yes, but as a family meal instead.

It's essentially just a bunch of kids meals and saver menus all in boxes (for adults too). Depending on the menu you get, you get a different livery and the adults box would be larger and use more muted colours on the box.

There'd also be cards on the boxes that you could punch out and work your way to a discount on a particular product

[Akachan]

The happy meal for adults should have cooler toys and more fries! The box should be cooler too!!
I may sound like I'm joking but I'm completely serious!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Cooler toys, a cooler box & most of all more fries is the way to go. Bring on the adult happy meals!

[SuccessfulHornDog]

What could it include?

A colored condom
Scratch off lottery ticket
tobacco/vaping product
nudity
alcohol

Anything that most adults would want would be criticized by some segment of the population

[Static_In_The_Attic]

For starters if Happy Meals are going to include condoms maybe the company can throw in glow in dark ones as well. As for those scratch off lottery tickets make those winning lottery tickets & you have a deal. Instead of juice boxes alcohol shots can be arranged. As far as nudity be careful what you wish for because you might get a Ronald McDonald calendar.

[JustinTheGreat]

I work at McDonald’s and I see adults ordering happy meals for themselves all the time actually

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Talk to your bosses, work your magic, come up with Happy Meals for Adults.

[Anonymous]

I'm an adult, and I still sometimes order a happy meal. I have a small appetite, plus you get a toy!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I’m an adult & the last time I ordered a Happy Meal was for a friend & it ended up turning her frown upside down & it made her day as well. Adult Happy Meals are needed!

[Opinion Owner]

I agree! I also like Akachan's opinion, an adult happy meal with extra fries would be appreciated!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I absolutely agree with her as well, more fries, more fries, more fries!

[Walrus_au]

I'm tempted to point out that an adult happy meal could contain adult toys to help keep adults happy...

Seriously though, many of the adults were fans and collectors (and often still are) of things as children and youth. that could be drawn on to create a marketing campaign that would likely be effective. I would suggest collectables. It would likely increase the price a bit though.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would love it if they made happy meals with chess boards or chess pieces or weight loss tips or magnets

[ImSparkly]

I’m already spending $15USD for a decent meal there, so now it would be 20 and I get some useless tchotchkes? I’ll pass.

[Mijopapiii]

Yea instead of toys they can put pot in there or vodka

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I still think pot is the reason why there’s a toilet paper shortage! People after smoking got the munchies & after the munchies they got the $hits & cleaned off the shelves. Pot & vodka in a happy meal, good for you & sales would skyrocket!

[Curmudgeon]

Well, they tried the Arch Deluxe meal, which arguably WAS the meal for grownups, but it failed.

[MDollarBill]

yeah, with little mini bar bottles of bourbon in them.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Mini bar bottles, absolutely!

[Adam1978]

Kids don't need the crap they get but since they don't pay they are fine with the extra. Adults rather pay for what they want, if they want toys they buy toys.

[Cryptic-Game]

They should not be in business. Only organic restaurants should be in business.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Like the mystery meat in the school cafeteria you don’t know what you are getting but those chicken nuggets taste soooooooooooooo good! As for organic I love it but my wallet doesn’t & with some organic restaurants I just hope there isn’t any funny business going on in the back as in the old switcheroo! When I go to some organic restaurants I bring my own dipping sauce, I bring a little thing of pesticides.

[Cryptic-Game]

Yes. They could trick you but they shouldn't. I don't eat meat much not but once a week on Saturdays only usually but I make sure it is organic.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I’m guilty as charged, I’m like a human garbage can I’ll eat anything within reason of course. No bat soup for me.

[MannMitAntworten]

They pilot tested a Zoloft Meal for adults some years back... It didn’t take.

[CuriousMufuxka]

If you weren't old, lucky, or even against being allowed into playplaces.. You will still never get Changeables!

[heavyjordy]

I'd love that! I think the closest we get is the McDonald's Monopoly

[loveslongnails]

I think adults should eat better food than McDonalds, and kids too.

[Likes2drive]

Sure but I don’t think I need the toy unless it’s a special collector item

[Antelope]

Literally nothing about this matters except if McDonalds thinks enough will buy it to make a profit

[DampCloth]

Of course I need my friggin Platform launching Batman and pull back lightning mcqueen
