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.

Huh, the McDonald’s I go to occasionally still puts real toys in their happy meals for the most part, they did do the Pokémon card thing as well but before and after that were actual toys (shitty toys but still toys)
