halloween kid's meal prizes

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..

1 more week!
