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.”

Meat your new favorite fashion accessories… Created to be a commentary on over-the-top consumerism, Swiss artist Andrea Hasler created Burdens of Excess — a series of fashion accessories made of meat.

At least the sculptures are made to look like meat — they actually consist of a few materials, mostly a wax compound. So, please do not try to eat the Gucci.

Dali-Inspired Paintings of Food and Kitchen Tools

Surrealist Camping Lunch is a series of paintings by artist Till Rabus. Heavily-influenced by the surrealist works of Salvador Dali, Rabus combines hallucinogenic imagery and Dali’s style with various foods and kitchen tools. For similar results, try dropping some acid while at an all-you-can-eat buffet.*
