Toys are toys. expensive or cheap when he/she is done, they will be at the bottom. If you're going to make your child eat that horrible shit then you should appreciate the fact that McDonald's decides to give them something to be a little happier about.
I don't have kid and if I did, I wouldn't make them eat that shit. I'm not saying never buy kids toys but do they really need 7 toy cars from a fast food joint?
don't go there, then. Simple. Be a parent. You don't want them to have 7fast food restaurant toys, don't get them. Don't even go.It's not the store's fault that there are sucky parents. this is a company that feeds people who believe they have no time to eat healthier, why are they wrong for also being nice to kids. How dumb can we get to be mad at someone giving our kids free toys?
Get a grip, lass! I ate McDonalds when I was a kid (sometimes up to 5 times a week!) and my Mom works there. I am not anti-McDonalds but I will tell you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that those toys brought me little to no happiness and ended up in the trash. They are plastic waste! Pure and simple! The toys I purchased from the toy store? I played with them! They actually got use! Not the shit that I inevitably had to throw away, sometimes without even unwrapping it, from the Micky-Dees! And no, I 8, I did not have any conception of recycling or the environment. The only person here getting mad is you!
You're preaching to the choir, children should not be fed that shit. However, I am not mad at anyone. I just think that this toys they give out are and inevitably become, plastic waste in the trash. We don't need that shit and kids really don't care most of the time. It is not the responsibility of a fast food restaurant to ensure your children's happiness. I'm not saying that shit should be banned outright, but I don't think that it should be encouraged, so calm yo tits!
We have a problem with them "encouraging" because we watch tv where they actually pay to advertise. You have to view a lot of something to be tired of it. Try NOT watching so much tv. My son is outside more often than not, so his interests relate to such. Therefor, I guess, I don't see them advertising to me who doesn't care, or my child, who only seldom cares. They don't market to kids, they market to people Walmart is successful for the same reasons "If they are going to bring their kids, then get shit that kids want" Do you see adult stores with kiddy toys? No. Because we don't take kids there. Yes, the company aims for money, however, it began with the idea of one person. It graduated to today's vision because we told them what we are willing to do (i.e. bring our kids to make them fat and happy) Don't want to, stop going, stop your friends, but don't blame McDonald's. AND my mom worked and still, for some
reason, does I don't care whether they stop the toys or not. I care that we as humans still blame others for shit they have control over. It's just stupid And I was joking about being angry. It is sad that you try to use that technique...."If you disagree then I'll laugh and say you're mad" Just like you and the other thousands here, I just want to be heard....read lol
I don't watch more than two hours of TV a week. I spent most of my childhood outside. Your ranting and raving related little to any argument that I made and I'm finished. I don't give a fuck about the marketing aspect. I give a fuck that all of this plastic garbage is being handed out to people who don't give a shit. I'm as big of a proponent as personal responsibility as any but I still believe in corporate responsibility but considering that you can't get an argument straight I'll just admit that I've wasted my time here.
I know all of shit you're saying should mean something but I'm not going to waste one more minute trying to figure it out.
Angry that again, even online, people never think things through. Why attack kids. I would agree with EVERYTHING if kids had real power. It's on the parents. You think they should stop because YOU didn't like the toys so you threw them away or left them on the ground? Why did your parents 2. NOT get the toy you didn't want 2. Teach you to appreciate things, cheap, expensive free, anything as a young person. Not just with this, but anything? 3. Why didn't they recycle, and/or teach you to. All the aspects of good parenting. McDonald's did their job, families have to do theirs.
Read the reply I gave the poll creator..hopefully, you'll also see my side.
I did. And you're trippin' balls. If the only happiness kids are getting is from a happy meal, then there is a serious problem with the parenting here. Children need more than cheap, plastic shit to be happy and if all you had in your childhood was toys then no corporation's marketing schemes would change the emptiness and sadness of your life. No one is attacking kids and you're off your meds if you think that McDonald's exercising a little bit of environmental responsibility is an attack on kids.
My parents taught me plenty and most of it was lost on me until I grew up. You're making a huge deal out of something *I* didn't give a damn about as a kid. None of the kids did. We weren't spoiled, greedy little brats and we believed that those toys were shit and they're probably still at the bottom of a goodwill bin. There are plenty of things that my parents can be called shitty for but depriving me *OH LORDY* of a cheap piece of plastic isn't one of them.
You're being really dramatic about this. I think you need a Happy Pill and a Happy Meal.
lol I responded to what you and your poll creator stated. You can't say NO ONE liked them. I did, and obviously you asked for them so, was that not the start of greediness? "No, mom I don't care for them, but I WANT you to get it for me" That's the attitude that parents are responsible for explaining to their kids that needs to be corrected. You basically helped prove my point
They aren't "being nice to kids". They're not giving out toys out of the kindness of their heart! It's a marketing ploy. Their ONLY reason for doing this is to make money! They don't care that this plastic SHIT is polluting the earth.
The few cents they spend on the toy brings in a huge return for them. It works, it's a great marketing ploy but the side-effects of it are horrible.
All toys are thrown away. because you did it more often than Jerry down the street doesn't make your feelings more important on the subject. You obviously were able to get the REAL barbies some weren't Even if that's not the case, financial status, some kids, my son plays with EVERY LAST TOY he's ever had. He's4 now and still enjoys his 1 yr old toys if I haven't thrown it away myself
Point; you're still only attacking the kids. let's pretend they served very healthy and great tasting food, you're still only taking away from them because YOU don't want it anymore.
It's not little Angela's fault that tour parents didn't listen and gave you a boy's toy when you wanted the girl's toy and/or visa versa. Maybe her parents listen better. Maybe
That's why your toys ended at the bottom. Maybe they should have done what I do with my son. "No, you just like colors I'll make sure you get the toys you like." He says "Yes, sir" It's cute. We know each other. He knows I'm not being mean, but I have taught him, already, you don't get EVERYTHING you want even if I'm able or even have it in my hands. I explain it and he understands. Something everyone should at least touch upon when raising a child. I don't get every toy. I actually never go there, but there's no reason to say McDonald's is fucking shit up. When his mom or my Mom take him, I only complain about his health as it pertains to fast food. He , again, appreciates whatever he gets. Try teaching your kids appreciation and restraint. Try recycling whenever they're done with toys. It's always the parents fault. Because you're YOU ARE, too lazy or scared of your child to throw away and with recycling in mind, you want someone else to think for you and take away the responsibility? SAD
Is it normal to want McDonald's to stop giving out toys?

You make no sense, you have no sense and it's a complete waste to reply to you in depth so I will not waste my time.
It's sad that you have reproduced.
