Anyone remember those "gold plated" pokemon cards that came in pokeballs? Those were the shit. I want some chicken nuggets now.
The toys were always fucking awful from what I remember. Books like those seem like a much better idea.
Suddenly, a lot less kids want to go eat at McDonald's. Win win, huh?
I can see a lot of those books going to waste.
Though a much needed improvment on plastic toys they are still a long way off from books like roald dahl. These are merely books that will last 2 mins, just fun facts...something they won't pick up again after reading once.
Chik-Fil-A does this actually, and my niece loves it. Last time we went they were offering Franklin and Friends books with kids meals.

I always thought McDonalds should do a Happy meal with Happy wheels toys for the kids! What could be more appropriate? The world's most well known fast food joint doing deals on merchandise for the world's most kid-friendliest game! It would be amazing.

Cant remember when though, Probably a while back
DK books were pretty much half of my childhood.

Will this only be in the UK for now, or will it be in Canada and America as well? I mostly just care if it will be in Canada. I will go back to eating McDonalds occasionally I love those books!
[QUOTE]"McDonald's will also give away additional vouchers for the books"[/QUOTE] Thats pretty cool. I hope it can be for any genre. I wouldnt mind using them too
