@shayman@cosocial.ca So either you're afraid McD is going to run out of Happy Meals, you are unaware that some people prefer smaller portions, or maybe (gasp) it's all they can afford. Whatever, you lose this one.

@shayman@cosocial.ca Does an adult purchasing a kids meal prevent any family from also purchasing one for a child?

@shayman@cosocial.ca I had a McDonalds refuse to sell me a Kiddie Cone when I ordered it for myself. Seemed ridiculous.

@shayman@cosocial.ca You absolutely can! Sometimes you want that smaller portion. Sometimes you just want the toys.

@shayman@cosocial.ca does McDonald need you to be protecting their nickel and diming? The question should be “should McDonalds offer some of their meals for free to those that need them?”

@shayman@cosocial.ca As an adult, you are absolutely allowed to be Happy & have a small toy with your small portion meal & sliced apples. Reaching age 13 does not instantly mean you are no longer allowed joy or cute small things.

@shayman@cosocial.ca I understand your perspective. From a health perspective and promoting reasonable serving sizes I think it’s fine. You can order it without a toy. There are folks who have had bariatric surgery or are on medication that would feel real sick eating one of the regular value meals…. Granted they can order a 4 peice nuggs or a small burger - but what’s the fun in that. Also, my response is more about ordering off the kids menu in general.
