Talk:Happy Meal

message: Why isn't there a section on the controversy surrounding happy meals and the use of toys to promote the consumption of fast food?  The article reads a lot like a promotional article.

replies: text: To be honest, it doesn't really seem to be promotional, just lacking criticism. If you can find well sourced info on any controversy, be bold and add it!--NeoNerd 21:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Doesn't a portion of the proceeds from Happy Meals go toward Ronald McDonald House? I know it's a big source of chairty income any time they do a drive. Any controversy over it should include that as its counterpoint, I would think, since I don't see it in main article.Daemon8666 (talk) 13:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Controversy? 

message: I was surprised that I didn't see any mention of the Fun Meal, or whatever it was called, that Burger Chef had as far back as the 1970's or maybe even earlier. Just saying.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.43.115 (talk) 05:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Burger Chef]] had the "fun meal" long before McD's had a happy meal

message: I would disagree with the latest edit by McGeddon in regards to the inventor of the Happy Meal.  Though the source cited includes Dick Brams as the McDonald's creator of the item, the entire content of the citation shows Bob Bernstein as having the original idea for the Happy Meal, even down to the name and toy inside.  The article also even details the inspiration.  I would request a review of this content and a re-edit.

thread_title:  Happy Meal Inventor 

message: The inventor of the Happy Meal was Bob Charles from Boulder, CO.  Bob, in conjunction with Dale Pond, developed the concept, then gave it to McDonald's.   McDonald's Advertising Agencies commercialized it for McDonald's.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcharles.1 (talk • contribs) 00:25, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Also, it's likely that any age-based guidance the company / franchises offer might be different based on location, as McDonald's operates locations worldwide, so any statement about this should be backed by a source and reference should be made about the location. It's unlikely there are any sources for that, with the minimum age for toys being the prevalent number as there are choking hazard concerns.  ASUKITE 15:07, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
