Burger King’s Not-So Happy Meals Won’t Tell You How To Feel

May 6, 2019 by Chris Durso

For years, McDonald’s have served their Happy Meals and, in all honesty, they seemed innocent enough. That is until Burger King released Real Meals and we suddenly feel the urge to scream at McDonald’s, “Stop telling us how to feel, Ronald!!”

Although, Burger King’s “not-so” happy meals aren’t aimed towards kids — hence why there’s no toy or chocolate milk included — it’s an obvious jab at McDonald’s and their famous box lunch.

The Burger King campaign, falling not-so coincidentally within Mental Health Awareness Month, urges the burger-eaters out there to “Feel Your Way” (#FeelYourWay). In other words, you don’t need McDonald’s and their fancy toys to make you happy, but rather to feel however one feels after ingesting a Whopper meal… Which is often bloated and full of regret.

Either way, the Burger King Real Meals include the Pissed Meal, Blue Meal, Salty Meal, YAAAS Meal, and DGAF Meal. All containing a Whopper meal, so hopefully that’s enough to help you feel better.

Burger King Is Offering Adult Happy Meals For Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2017 by Chris Durso

Now, it’s our time to get happy, adults… If you’re into that sorta thing. Burger King has released the Adults Meal — a Happy Meal-like package that, instead of containing a plastic kiddie toy, comes with a “romantic adult toy.”

The actual Adults Meal is two Whoppers, two packets of fries, two beers, and either a blindfold, head-massager, or feather duster. And, just like the kids, you’ll probably want to play with your toy first.

The Valentine’s Day gimmick is only available at select locations in Israel until 6pm tonight. Everyone else will just have to buy two Whoopers and hope for the best.

This Artist’s Take on Happy Meals Is The Fast Food We Deserve

September 4, 2014 by Chris Durso

Happy Meals have been catered to little kids for far too long. And, we want our combo meal with included toy!

Artist Newt Clements has come up with a series of Happy Meals that is a bit more adult. From The Big Lebowski, Breaking Bad, and a plethora of horror movie Happy Meals… these themes would surely be too much for a youngster to handle. But honestly… Are they any scarier than this guy?

See the entire Happy Meals series on Pinterest.

Meet McDonald’s New Mascot and The Star of Your Nightmares

May 20, 2014 by Chris Durso

happy-meal

McDonald’s, either in an attempt to sell more Happy Meals or to haunt your kid’s nightmares, has introduced a terrifying new mascot.

Officially-named “Happy,” the beady-eyed anthropomorphic cardboard box follows in the footsteps of a creepy clown, that large purple thing, and the guy with a cheeseburger for a head.

So actually, freaking out kids has worked well so far. Good work, McDonald’s.

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

June 14, 2013 by Chris Durso

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.”
