I have just decided to buy stock in McDonalds. Yes, I am convinced that I will be so wealthy, beyond my wildest dreams. The reason I say this is because yet again today, I have gone thru the drive thru at McDonalds and purchased 2 Happy Meals to take them home and have my 2 boys eat about one chicken nugget and 5 fries between them. It's all about the toy. So why do I purchase the whole meal? I should just buy the stinking toy! I take them to McDonalds about 2 times a week, and believe that I am throwing away about $25 every week. Just chucking it in the trash. So, if I am not the only one who has children like this, then I would say it is very possible that there are hundreds of uneaten Happy Meals every day! Buy stock now! I can just imagine, some people sitting around the conference table at McDonalds headquarters trying to figure out a way to make their business better.
"I know!!" One smarty pants yells." Lets have a meal in a bag with a small useless toy, the kids will love it and the parents will have no choice but to buy it, because their kids will drive them insane if they don't! It's brilliant! And to top it all off, we'll put a large bright yellow M out in front as our sign , so that every time the parents drive past one of our 4 million restaurants, their children will start screaming "MCDONALDS!!".
It's brilliant!!"
Taking a deep breath, I clear my mind and stop visualizing that blasted yellow M.
I find my happy place, and believe it or not, it's with my boys grasping a Happy Meal bag in their chubby sticky hands, chanting 'MCDONALDS' over and over till I can only hear my heartbeat pounding in my brain. Peace reigns supreme as soon as I open the plastic that contains the toys. And then I sit back and enjoy my nuggets....
