Is it TRUE that Mcdonald's Income's 40% comes from the "Happy Meal" ?

Question

I'm not actually sure, but I've heard someone saying about it...

If that is TRUE, then do you think Mcdonalds' should expand it's choice in Happy Meal ?

Answer 1

now that you mention it, thats quite likely, i mean nearly all the little kids that go in there buy happy meals. some teenagers buy them cos they think the toys are cool (strange) and some adults collect the toys, so yes

Answer 2

im 17 and i still order happy meals the same one i have since i was little!!

i find the other meals too big and expensive!

Answer 3

I doubt it since when you buy a happy meal your paying for the food and getting the toy for free, but McDonald's still has to buy all those toys.  So when it comes to Happy Meals I'd guess they are only making a small amount of profit.

Answer 4

Never heard that but it doesn't sound very likely. Think about it, small children are not at McDonalds most of the day (except maybe in the summer). It's pretty much all working people. Teens show up after school and most of them are not buying Happy Meals either. And even when the little kids are there in the  evening, the parents who bring them are eating something other than Happy Meals too which balances what the kids have. I don't buy it.

*****EDIT***********

Wow, the ever decreasing level of maturity of today's teens never ceases to amaze me. Some teens are getting Happy Meals? No one in my generation would have been caught DEAD doing that. Yikes.

*****EDIT**************

What's the problem that you get Happy Meals at your age? The problem is that you would even have to ask that. I know the problem runs deep because I keep seeing these signs of  immaturity in teens today and they invariably seem oblivious to them. That means the level has drop so much, that that's just the "standard" now. In other words, you can't see it because you're ALL like that.

Ironically, you all get more freedoms and have more access to information than teens even have, yet you all seem like eight year olds of my generation.

Answer 5

i think it might be true, and they don't expand their choice because the kids only really care about the toy

Answer 6

i love them and im seventeen. i also get to bring home a toy for my five year old brother.

Answer 7

if i go to mcdonalds my daughter gets a hm and i do aswell so she gets two toys.i could imagine this being true and yes they shud give more choice.some kids dont like raw veg but want another alternative to chips.

Answer 8

i googled it, it says its true, im 16. i have a happy meal. whats the problem with that? its food and its better then gettin a bigger meal and cloggin my heart thanx v. much.. not yu asker.

i give my toys to children on nearby tables or to my 3yrold neice.

Answer 9

yup my bro eats there like every other day..that spoiled brat lol

and he always buys a happy meal

Answer 10

i doubt its as high as 40%, they're cheap and tasty... you can order two for the price of a big mac and you get to mess around with the toys, as a 17 yr old they're my top choice

Answer 11

wouldn't doubt it..
