On a roadtrip we were in the middle of nowhere and stopped through the drive thru and everyone got a unHappy Meal.

For like $6 a person you get:

  • 6 nuggets (which were fine)

  • a cup of ice with a shot of Coke in it

  • 7ish french fries

  • a bag of apples floating in chlorine?

  • a chunk of plastic “toy” that literally does nothing besides take centuries to break down in a landfill.

Forgot to beg for my fries instead of apples, and they didn’t ask. Was a really disappointing $20ish spent for 3 people.

Ah I see, I thought yall just split a happy meal 3 ways, hence the "unhappy meal" Lol. Haven't been in a very long time don't even remember what comes in those things.

It felt like we split it with how many fries we got, the fry container is like something from American Girl, the 6 nuggets each were good but the rest sucked.
