There is one reason my kids love McDonald's: Happy Meal toys. Here are the toys Boo and Goo scored last weekend on a trip to 'Donalds with The Otis. I have no idea what kind of character this is or what cartoon it's from. But the sound effects are unmistakeably recognizable. I hadn't seen the toys until days after the kids got them and I was cleaning out their overnight bag from a stay at Gramma's. But as soon as I saw these toys, I understood why The Urchins had developed a sudden fascination with using their armpits to make fart noises. I'm not sure what other Happy Meal prizes are in this series, but I can't wait to see what sort of bodily function is involved -- Mommy Dearest/BrodH20.
Question: Did McDonalds suffer a brain cramp when it offered the arm-pit farters as toys to kics? Or is this all in good fun?
