Adult Happy MealFollow

#1 May 13 2004 at 5:05 PM Rating: Good
Just what the hell is up with this ****? Has anyone seen this yet? Has the basic consumer become so stupid that applying marketing strategies origionally designed for six year old sounded like a good idea?

I can just see the emmy award winner who thought this up...

Marketing: I know we can make the happy meals bigger and sell them to adults to boost sales.
CEO: What about the toy? It's not a happy meal without a toy?
Marketing: Sure we'll give them fun adult toys.
CEO: Think this will really work?
Marketing: Well it did wonders with the kids.

It should be an adult toy, right? Like an inflatable sheep or something?

Well, if the adult toys are wrapped in plastic just like the little kiddie toys are, whats the problem? Wouldn't really be touching your food. Although if you open it up and your toy has been opened, I would then have serious doubts about eating that food.

But knowing fast food the toy would break.... so half way through "playtime" the battery would die and it would seize up on your c*ck. Smiley: grin

Actually, I thought I saw a commercial on TV the other day for these so-called "adult happy meals". The toy is actually geared towards the target audience, too.

It's not what we would all call an "adult toy". It was actually a cheap pace-meter, one of those things that tracks how far you've walked and how many steps you've taken and such.

McDonalds is soooo setting themselves up for another lawsuit on this one.

Nah, the Adult Happy Meals are for those blue hairs who are regressing into their second childhood. Alzheimers is a *****.

As long as they don't have "Low Carbs!" written on them I'm not totally against it

I don't think anything having to do with McDonald's could ever be 'low carb'. Christ, you breathe in the aroma of a Big Mac and you gain four pounds.

Pleh.

just saw the commercial tonight. my gf and i did a lot of scratching our heads throughout much of it. although I'm sure every "normal working" person won't be without a flourescent colored plastic footstep counter emblazoned with the golden arches now.

They've discontinued the Bagel Breakfast sandwichs too, those **** Bastards, trying to save me from myself. We should have that fat kid that sued them killed, its all his fault! I want my god damned heart attack at age 40 just like every other self respecting american I know has. Thats the True Adult Happy Meal, a massive coronary with a side of fries and a 44 oz. drink, god I can't wait.

On a similar note, has any one seen the Atkins Friendly subs that Subways trying to pimp on us? They're salads, what a joke, if i want a salad I'll go to the Olive Garden and have one with all the Romano the little waiter guy can get on it.

Atkins is the dumbest fad diet I've seen in the past... decade?

Well maybe not the diet itself, there are dumber ones, just the stuff that's going on with it are retarded.

Low Carb Beer, my f****** ***

Actually, I saw one of the doctors on TV that was behind the south beach diet, and he has denounced the low carb beer... Damn!

I went on the Adkins Diet, I didn't really need to do it, but my girlfriend was on it so I felt bad and joined her...

I will never do that again! If she wants to go without caffiene and live off popcorn and asparagus, that's fine with me. I couldn't even drink vodka! I lasted a week, if that. Stupid frigging diet.

Dr. Adkins died in the bathroom from falling and clunking his head on the toilet. He probably passed out due to starvation, silly *******.

South Beach isn't nearly as bad, I know folks who that's worked fine for. Atkins I don't know anyone who it's helped more than hurt. And the ad companies have picked up on it like it's a Sign of the Second Coming of Christ...
