I dong think people eating at Mcdonalds are that concerned about the environment!!!

And that's ok.

I eat at McDonalds, probably at least once a week.

I have an electric car and solar panels. I have cut almost all single use plastics out of my life (reusable sanitaryware, shampoo and conditioner bars, no shower gel, bath bubble bars, refillable deodorant). I shop regularly at my no waste shop, and regularly do no-clothes years where I don’t buy new clothes. If I do buy new clothes it’s mostly on Vinted.

So at least some people eating at McDonald’s are concerned about the environment.

To not understand the point in the silly cartoon Friends toys? I thought McDonald’s was trying to cut down on plastic waste? Surely make the kids happy meals better with decent toys rather than the adult ones!

Easy. They were never trying to reduce waste, they were trying to make out they were reducing waste because it was good for profits.

I'm totally getting one this weekend! 😂

It's not that deep. It's a bit of fun. You're under no obligation to engage with the offer.

On the rare occasions I go to McDonald’s I always have a happy meal because I don’t want massive portions. I know quite a few people who do this. I always select ‘no toy’.

Several years ago I wrote to them suggesting they do happy meals designed for adults containing useful things like a little pack of tissues, or a sewing kit, or some cotton buds, or a mini notebook.
I got a fairly frosty message back saying they never take people’s suggestions. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m guessing it’s because they don’t want people saying they should be paid a cut of the profits for their idea. I wasn’t bothered about getting any credit, it would just be nice to have a happy meal with small portions, marketed at me as an adult. Appreciate this is a tiny ridiculous non-issue. 😊

That is a really good idea

I hope that none of the posters using the environment as a stick to beat others with aren’t the same people who reply “ask AI” to posts.

You don’t need to understand the point, as you don’t need to buy it, it is not mandatory. There are many things I don’t like, cullotes, trout, milk. I accept other people do like these things.

You win the internet today

ShowMeTheSea · 05/02/2026 13:16

Could you BE any more unreasonable?!
Sorry I'll get me coat 😂

Is it? How we've been that it's okay for anyone to not give a shit about our planet that we are destroying is beyond me.

Sometimes wish all the ones that don't give a shit would just fuck off and die in toxic fumes.And the rest of us can work towards building a better world.

Getting off the Internet would be a good way to give a shit ;)

I'm sure we could also pick apart aspects of your life and show how you "don't give a shit" about the planet

I have no car. Never travelled for more than 2 hours on a plane. No summer holiday abroad this year or last year. I buy second hand clothes. Have a small home and try to save on the water ... can I go just this one time to McD? Or?

Because not everyone has to think the same way

I dont use Mcondalds, Ive probably visited around 3 times in the last 4 years or so, usually for a coffee, most recently because I needed something very quick in the drive through

The drive through is incredibly packed all the time I drive past and look. Full of very expensive cars, car park full of expensive cars, often electric cars

The phrase 'not that concerned' is not the same as 'not giving a shit' as you phrase it. People have priorities. And that is ok.

DD and her university mates all got the Grinch socks Happy Meals.

At least 50% of us at work were wearing them at one point 🤣

ShetlandishMum · 05/02/2026 13:07

I would love one!
Sadly we relocated out of UK last Christmas and McD doesn't sell them here.

I think it’s good when HM toys are high demand franchises like Minecraft and Friends rather than an old random film release. Adult HM toys will be less likely to be thrown away imo as people who aren’t keen on the franchise will buy the cheaper meal on its own.

This is the most fabulously random list of dislikes…

Wait what - we can get adult happy meal toys and they’re friends ones?!

This is good news indeed! Thanks OP!

Gowlett · 05/02/2026 12:59

Adult Happy Meals? Never heard of them! Sounds like fun.

My kid loves Happy Meals, likes to get a nice toy or plushy.
We always say “no book please” he never wants the book…

I think it's great. I got Ross yesterday and he's happily sitting on my desk.

I've been long wishing McDonalds would bring back decent toys in the Happy Meals, the pointless cardboard crap may be recyclable but it's such a waste of money and resources, equally wasteful. At least people collect the toys (and believe me, they REALLY do) whereas the cardboard cutouts of dinosaurs go straight into the bin.
