halloween kid's meal prizes

10/24/2013

probably my favorite vintage halloween kid's meal prizes ever were these flashlights from wienerschnitzel ~

they gave them out around '94 through '97 right in the prime of my son's trick-or-treating days so ours got plenty of use ~

they were called frite lites ~

oldschool technology (which means they still work) ~

with good ghosts & skellys ~

this halloween the kid's meal prizes have been more predictable ~

scared shrekless prizes from wendy's including a mask ~

the plastic treat bags from carl's jr are always kinda cool (in toxic's day we just used a pillowcase..) ~

but it comes with a generic funbrain kid's meal bag with very unhalloween prizes.. ~

mcdonald's is still giving out treat buckets, 3 different monster high buckets with stickers for girls & star wars angry birds buckets for boys ~

before that were good prizes too, the 75th anniversary of wizard of oz toys ~

& starting the day after halloween mcd's will be giving out paperback books with their kid's meals, i look forward to that..

for more halloween kid's meal bags & buckets check out the kid's meal album in the sidebar ~

1 more week!

ghost & toxic

adult happy meal

you may have heard that mcdonald's is running a new & different happy meal promotion ~

adult happy meals! ~

from the cactus plant flea market ~

well, we haven't bought happy meals in years now, so we had to try these ~

i got the trademark cactus buddy ~

so these meals are ridiculously expensive, be ready to shell out $11 & change for a 10 piece chicken mcnugget or bigmac meal ~

in the past my philosophy was always that if i don't get a toy with my food, i don't eat ~

ok, so here's what made it all worthwhile in my opinion ~

the guys got these wonderful 4-eyed grimaces! ::D ~

that have been likened to real 'adult' toys.. (i'll leave this to your imagination! :O) ..i'm keeping one out now on my toyroom shelf ~

still 2 other prizes out there if we decide to go back? will update here if we do.. also i see they'll be rereleasing classic kids happy meal halloween buckets starting october 18th? :) meanwhile click on kid's meal prizes in the category list in the sidebar for much much more like this!
