I just saw that on a commercial. Seriously, is this like some kind of new Pandora's Jar? Because that would make more sense. Give your child a happy meal, they open it, and WHAM--out come all the evils of the world, leaving only Hope trapped inside.
Because once you get started on that Happy Meal, there shall be no returning from the Path to Destruction. Believe me, I know. I could eat five Happy Meals in one sitting, so I definitely know.
I know the fast food places like McDonald's and Wendy's now have the "healthy" options on their kids' meals--apple slices instead of fries, juice box instead of soda--but what kind of demented 8-yr-old is going to be like "yeah, Mom, could I get some apples instead of those French fries?" Please.
agreed - the worst commercial ever
ReplyDeletemy demented 4 year old loves the apple slices and yogurt parfait :) ....but really, is that any surprise since his mom is rampant with ED behaviors?
My son chooses the apples sometimes. And he always has juice or milk (often chocolate, but still better than soda). He also loves yogurt! I admit though, most kids aren't likely to want some of the healthier options.
ReplyDeleteThat's good you guys got your kids eating healthy! Much better than our generation. I think I had McDonald's at least twice a week growing up. The rest of the week I ate nothing but Ghostbusters cereal, Chinese food, and TV dinners...
ReplyDeleteand their cheap prices are way too tempting.. :O xx
