A McDonald’s Happy Meal Design Concept That’s Even Happier

happy-meal-2

How do you make a McDonald’s Happy Meal even happier? You can start by giving kids more than a standard meal and a toy. Then, redesign it with anthropomorphic packaging that appears happy you’re about to eat them.

The Truly Happy Meal is brought to us by Singapore-based designer Lee Sin Li.

“McDonald’s prizes itself to make eating fun for kids, but with times, the Happy Meal seems to be just a mini version of the regular burger meals. There’s nothing special about the Happy Meal, apart from the additional toy.”

A Business Card That’s A Cheese Grater

k-bigpic

Problem… You just came across a hunk of cheese that needs grating immediately, and you forgot to bring your box grater again. Lucky for you, you met a guy last night from the cheese shop, Bon Vivant, who gave you a business card that doubles as a cheese grater. Problem solved.

The idea for the Cheese Grater Business Card came from ad agency JWT. It includes a protective leather sleeve to protect you from when you put in your pocket — which is great for your fingers. Not using it would be grate for your fingers. Homophones!!!

The NOTA Coffee Mug Will Gladly Hold Your Spoon

In what could be the best innovation in coffee drinking since the mug, is a mug that’ll hold your spoon for you. The NOTA Coffee Mug is brought to us by Lee Hae Seung Scott, and solves the real world problem of having to continuously stir a hot beverage, with nowhere to place your spoon.

The NOTA Mug is unfortunately still in concept phase, so you’ll just have to keep holding onto the spoon yourself for a while. Sorry for the inconvenience.
