It's the Happy Meal with a little something extra...an unused cigarette.
A Southampton woman was horrified to find the offending item at the bottom of her one-year-old's Happy Meal.
Nicky Holloway explained to Metro news the dangers the cigarette posed to her son Jack:
"My son can feed himself and I was watching him eat but he could easily have put the cigarette in his mouth."
Holloway also claimed to have overheard the workers at the McDonald's discuss cigarettes before she received the meal. It is alleged that one of these workers accidentally dropped the cigarette in the Happy Meal box.
Though McDonald's offered to refund or replace the Happy Meal, Holloway says she "wants more to be done about it," and plans to sue. She chose to keep the "How To Train Your Dragon" Happy Meal toy, however.
No word if Holloway will receive any censure for feeding her one-year-old child a damn McDonald's Happy Meal.
What's wrong with feeding a one-year-old child a Happy Meal?
ReplyDeleteIs it any worse than feeding him birthday cake or ice cream? Or giving him a chocolate rabbit for Easter or Valentine's Day candy or Christmas candy or Halloween candy or whatever other holiday is celebrated with candy?
Or are you saying a Happy Meal is a choking hazard to a one year old?
I think if you feed this stuff to your baby as a rare holiday treat that's Ok, but I see too many families treating McDonalds and the like as a regular dining area for their small children.
ReplyDeletePeople, you must have misread the post.. it's not claiming that mcdonalds' food is bad for you, although it is unhealthy, it's just claiming that the workers are careless, and that it needs to be fixed.
