McDonald's squishmallows

Is anyone else collecting the Halloween squishmallows in happy meals?

So far I have 3 Wade the Warewolf 😭 and one superpig. This is from 3 different McDonald's in SW London!

I really want the cat or spider.

@Sharontheodopolodous we tried to do this but they wouldn't have it as the one we got the original from was a franchise!

Really?!
God,some are real jobsworths-i would have swapped it for you on the sly
I'm forever doing it!

Have the Halloween ones stopped now?

AngryBird6122 · 05/11/2023 21:46

@Sharontheodopolodous yeah it was the manager at our local! But he did sell it to us for 99p rather than making us buy a meal so not all bad I guess.

RumNotRun · 05/11/2023 23:13

I missed out on the Halloween ones sadly but have Rorty. My cat loves him.

Next time,go for a friendly-looking dining area staff
(Can't miss us-we wear the shirts)
I've only ever met one that sticks to the rules and refuses to bend them
Rest of us are always doing favours for customers

@Sharontheodopolodous Ok thank you for the tip!

We needed a quick tea last night while out, and got another Autumn. In a drive through so I didn’t dare ask if they had others as we already have one… So I guess some places are using up old stock.

You actually managed to get the toys?

EVERY time we go in (several different store) they have 'run out' and we get given the 'book' instead (its not really a book).

Normally don't care much as its not normall the stuff the kids are into and we just stopped in for quick food but we went at halloween specifically to get the squishmallows.

I stood in the queue for a ridiculously long time (restaurant wasn't actually busy) while Just Eat drivers demanded their orders be done immediately or where grabbing bit of other peoples orders. One went around the counter and started touching all the food. Im guessing shes a regular as they didn't even tell her off just 'guided' her out then stood chatting with her about their families.

I watched 3 families before us get their happy meal and open there toys so thought 'well at least well get them this time'.

Then it gets to us and we have books in our happy meal, I politely say 'excuse me, I think there a mistake we asked for toys in the happy meal' just to get the standard 'uh, sorry we ran out'... what EXACTLY when they got to us... AGAIN.

Its pretty shit because a 5 year old and 2 year dont understand why everyone else got one except them.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/11/2023 19:23

We always get toys in Kent

Have a cute green something at the moment

bizzey · 09/11/2023 21:05

I got Benny in my last order (via Uber eats ) but didn't get my cheeseburger !

But I got a full refund , so I got Benny, small coke and small chips for free !!

Had to have some of D's order though !

DuckWithOneWing · 10/11/2023 19:39

I've got a Xander if anyone wants it, but you have to tell me what it is. My best guess is a potato 🙃

bizzey · 11/11/2023 16:02

Due another takeaway tonight...it is Saturday 🤣 and strictly!

DS wants to do Burger King .

I said no ...we will do a Macy's...

He looked at me and said very seriously...

Mum...you do not need any more toys !🤣🤣🤣

bizzey · 11/11/2023 16:03

(he is 19 !)

bizzey · 11/11/2023 16:04

I think he has realized that they are getting all McDonald's stuff in their stockings 🤣🤣

bizzey · 11/11/2023 16:06

And I am a bit obsessed about getting a big collection !

I should tell him about how much they are selling on eBay !

Then he will change his mind 🤣🤣

If the books are not opened. Take them next time or pop to a different one and say you requested a toy and got a book. Please can they swap it. I have previously done that with no issues.

bizzey · 11/11/2023 18:41

I got Tatiana !!

But no dips for my chicken things !!

I always wonder that people had so much contempt for McDonald’s toys- were they really adding to landfill as much as all the balloons, plastic cups, glitter etc? I wish they’d just ban the production of all of that stuff instead (although I know they’ve made a start with the cups) We’ve a box of McDonald’s toys here and the kids still pull them out and play with them. Some are amazing quality (eg the minions toys!) Must take a look at the squishmallows!

McDonald's have banned plastic completely from Happy Meal toys

Its nothing to do with class, were as working class as they come.
But our local mcdonalds has been taken over by teen gangs so it's not safe for us to go
