They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

They still have the toy in the kids meal

Most of the time now it's just cards for some property like Multiversus or Pokemon. My 3 year old has no use for any of this, end up tossing it all in the trash. Feels so cheap compared to the cool toys when I was a kid.

it must be location based then cause my 4yo has an entire bin of McDonalds toys that she still plays with. sometimes they're trash (olympics were stupid), but they can be alright.

(yes my child probably eats too much McDonalds but she's healthy and thriving so idgaf)
