They’re not so bad but they’re not that great either, I didn’t know you could buy them though, it could come in handy, bookmarked it.

@EAS — I was not aware the toys could be sold separate from a Happy Meal and was glad that this article told me I could. I thought I’d share this information with others who want the toy but not the food. At the McDonalds around here, the toys aren’t listed on the menu as sold without the meal so I was just trying to pass along the tip :)

What’s the issue exactly? You can walk in and just buy the toys. Yes, they will sell you just the toys!!

@Amelias_Sprout – Stop giving me ideas and justification (as in Amelia Sprout does it, so can I). OK, full disclosure: Ive done the same AND kept the toy for myself.

What I do, is get a Happy Meal for myself, during the work day, for my lunch, with apples and milk. Way less guilt, and I get my damn toy. :)

Our son is allowed to have fast food every once in a while — usually Chick Fil A or McDonald’s. We have NEVER given him the toy with the meal. I take it out of the box/bag before he ever sees it, and stash it. Then if we have to take a road trip, or if he just needs a treat, I pull one out of the “treasure chest.” This way he doesn’t get the idea that every meal should be accompanied by a toy, AND I have a stash of pretty much disposable toys that I can give to him any time.

@sherry — I could kiss you, that was my first choice. Then I decided that nicotine was FAR more addictive so there you have it.

Oh come on, Mickey D’s does NOT use nicotine in their fries. God.
Everyone knows they use crack.
