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.

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

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 🤷‍♂️
