McDonald's Halloween Pails

SydLexia.com - McDonald's Halloween Pails: "Back in the day, McDonald's had the absolute best kids' meals, because they got all the good licenses. Whether it was Hot Wheels, Legos, Disney, Nintendo, Fraggles, The Berenstain Bears, Batman, or Looney Tunes, McDonald's almost always had something cool inside their Happy Meals. Hell, even their original toys were pretty cool. Toys like the Food Changeables and the Fast Mac cars were pretty solid too. But every so often, McDonald's would offer up a Happy Prize that was less than spectacular. You see, not all the Happy Meal prizes were toys. To help promote Santa Claus: The Movie, McDonald's gave away books. Like, with words and everything. Sure, they were a lot nicer than your average Happy Meal prize... BUT THEY WERE FUCKING BOOKS. Even worse were the lunchboxes. For some reason, some at McDonald's thought that cheap plastic monochrome lunchboxes emblazoned with McDonaldland characters would be a good prize. They weren't. Luckily for McDonald's, those crappy prizes have long since been forgotten by most people. So now I want to talk to you about a much more famous set of non-toy McDonald's prizes: the Halloween pails."
