I feel that McDonalds is stretching the truth at saying that they being healthy. They're fast food for god sake.
Back in the sixties, they had a small size for their burgers, and fires and shakes and now... they supersize, or they used to.
After "Super Size Me", the documentary of one guy who ate nothing but McDonalds for thirty days and got him sick, well the R.D of McDonalds said that they would have to do some changes. Limiting the 'Super Size' portions on their value meals. Their kids meals; however, that's a different story.
They got rid of all those goofy gangs like Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese, the Frybunch. The list goes on.
I don't know if they were promoting unhealthy foods to kids, but there were pissed off parents.
I don't even remember, when I was a kid, eating a lot of these Happy Meals. I'd used to call them 'Crappy' Meals.
They added a creepier version to replace those. A box with creepy eyes in a commercial suited for kids that would scare them.
That only lasted a few years (thank you lord) They offered an alternative to soda and fries. Chocolate milk, regular milk and apple slices. It might work but I don't know, would it really.
Recently, they brought back buttermilk chicken fingers, but I don't know if it's a permeate thing or a limited time. They're ok, but in my opinion, they won't last like their McNuggets, which have been out for over thirty years strong.
Their happy meal toys range from cute to movie nightmares even promoting the horrible 'Emoji' movie but it seems they're starting to promote books in favor of toys in the near future. And they were starting that in 2015. Now they went back to toys again.
Who knows what 2018 has up McDonalds sleeve. Till then, I'm staying away from this place for a while. Ciao bloggers.
