Adult happy meal toys from someones night mare:
In these wacky times, we should be glad they're not putting "adult toys" in the "happy" meals.
Those are creepy.
and here I was thinking they were going to start selling the good Hot Wheels with rubber wheels.
I don't know what cactus plant flea market is, could that have something to do with why they have extra eyes like anime monsters?
I have many things to say on the topic but I can sum it all up with: get those damn kids off my lawn!
Give me a fidget cube or some sort of puzzle and take my money. As for those toys^^^ I'm probably at the tail end of generations where calling someone four-eyes was a common playground insult. Maybe that's the angle they're playing at?
In reply to 1988RedT2 :
Cactus Plant Flea Market is the creation of Cynthia Lu, former assistant and designer alongside Pharell Williams (guy who did "Happy" that was popular a few years back). She made her own website that was for a long time just gifs and video and pictures of her following Pharell around while he toured and what not. She had this habit of designing apparel for him that had logos or messages that people were like "ok cool I agree with that but what is it?" Or "is that a real thing?" Basically, weird branding she just kinda made up. It'd be like if you designed stuff while drunk, someone famous thought it was funny and started talking you up, and then suddenly, you're really freaking rich.
Other rappers started asking Pharell about his drip, and her "brand" grew - adopting the four-eyed smiley face as its mascot.
Basically, she's a clothing artist, and people want her stuff because famous people want her stuff.

They're targeting the overwhelmingly large amount of mid to late 20-somethings who are depressed by inundating them with nostalgic happiness associated with getting a happy meal combined with the present day popularity of their streetwear brand in the same demographic in an attempt to capitalize on said depression.

If it isn't going to get treated, may as well turn it into a profit to keep the cycle going. Right?
In reply to Error404 :
It was mainly a tongue in cheek comment. I'd say just let people be happy if they find happiness in it.
In reply to pheller :
What was "happy", and how did he do it?
I assume that's a pop culture thing, and I'm too old?
In reply to hunter47 :
It's kinda sad that that kinda targeting will probably work on an alarmingly overwhelming amount...
In reply to 03Panther :
They got me to go in today. Unfortunately I got T shirt guy instead of one of the characters.
Has a real 'don't hug me, I'm scared' feel to it.
In reply to 03Panther :
Because a picture is worth a thousand words:
I'm an old fart completely out of touch with pop culture since the late 90's, and I've heard this a hundred times, at least. When it came out, it was unavoidable, or so I presumed. It seems I was wrong?

Please don't super-size me!
My only question about those toys: Why!?

Doesn't make sense to me, if I'm reduced to eating McDonald's, I'd be pretty berkeleying depressed.

Kids don't see it that way. Marketing can really suck the kids in. And since most young adults are just large kids anyway....

Same. I haven't eaten there in over 20 years. Our Trail Life group stopped there after a campout and I just sat there. Hard pass. I'll just be hungry.
