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

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.

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

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
