I'm behind in appreciating this thread because my brain dropped the phone at "... Adult Happy Meal..." and refuses to return to the conversation. I Googled, and yes it's an actual real thing. I am baffled. I mean, I understand that McDonalds is trying to plug into presumable adult nostalgia regarding the excitement of getting a Happy Meal as a child, and I know they're skilled at marketing so it's more likely to be successful than not, but I just don't understand -- and I swear it's not the language barrier. (I am not a native English speaker, for those who might be wondering. I am reasonably fluent, but if I make an error please do point -- and laugh if you want -- as it helps me improve.) Bread and circuses perhaps? That's the only way I can explain it.
