In Sweden we have actual hardcover books in happy meals. I think it’s neat

We got those once in ours and my 3yo was so happy. Never seen one since.

Here in Canada you can choose either a toy or a book for a happy meal. You can also get apple slices instead of fries. The toys are definitely pretty shit though. Right now it's a pack of 4 pokemon cards

Yeah, my niece and nephew often get books or paper board games from Chick-Fil-A in their kids meal. I actually think that’s quite a bit better than the cheap plastic toys I used to get.

The books were just paperback, but that’s not actually a big deal for me. I feel like paperbacks are easier for little kids to hold anyway 🤷‍♂️
