Thanks, Steers, for this. The kind of marketing any restaurant chain would envy. Some marketing director was paid huge amounts of money for this. Probably sourced from some Asian country, it's a ball, a very hard one, that tends to bounce up and hit you in the face. Hard. And it has amusing hair...
Ha. Ha. Ha.
This should be a more in-depth post about happy meal toys in general, but this one kinda sums them up:
They are all as useful as a hairy ball.
Unreal... and kids clamour for them! I'll bet there are 8 to collect and swop...
ReplyDeleteLast time I took X and C to Steers they got balloons with "fun" printed on them, on sticks. Purple ones. Bet you someone got a big bonus for that campaign as well. The shrunken voodoo head beats that though.
ReplyDelete@angel: Maybe that's the problem. The children are the target market- but even mine weren't very impressed with these.
ReplyDelete@SMP: Those balloons- if they don't say 'fun', then they clearly aren't.
um, that *toy* is borderline not-politically-correct...
