ONTD

San Francisco, is limiting the release of toys in kid’s happy meals at McDonald’s to help discourage kids from eating the stuff. They’re not outright banning them, like they did in Santa Clara County, because kids like toys, and it’s a keystone in McDonald’s marketing. Instead, children will be able to “earn” them by choosing a meal that isn’t high in calories, which seems impossible because it is McDonald’s, but apparently you can replace the fries with apple slices.It probably won’t be long before this movement spreads throughout North America, and to all the other McDonald’s on the planet. So start snatching up the toys while you can, before they’re gone forever. Here’s a look at our top 10 favorite happy meal toys.

10. Transforming McDonald’s Food



Once in awhile, McDoink’s would release transforming versions of their food items, like fries that could turn into a robot, or a milkshake that could also turn into a robot. While they weren’t that cool, different variations started popping up like the Dino-Changers, where instead of robots, the food became dinosaurs. Maybe it’s about time they brought these back for a new generation.



9. Furbies



To help cash-in on the toy that was sweeping the nation, McDonald’s released their own version of the talking creatures which weren’t as cool since they couldn’t do much of anything. They were sort of the poor man’s Furby.

8. Halloween McNuggets



Ever wanted to dress-up a Chicken McNugget? Now you can with your very own Halloween McNugget! These were kinda cool, since you could mix-and-match the costumes, and if Halloween was over, you could remove the costume completely and have a Nugget sittin’ on your shelf. Still not as valuable as a gold nugget.

7. Muppet Babies



Adorable and fun to play with, these Muppets came with their own vehicles so you could drive them around the living room floor. For the complete experience, wear a pair of green-and-white stripped stockings to pretend your the Nanny.

6. Super Looney Tunes



They were a mash-up of your favorite DC superheroes and the Looney Tunes. Unfortunately, there were only four of ‘em in all. C’mon, where’s Elmer Fudd as Lex Luthor, Sylvester as Green Lantern, or Tweety as Black Manta?

5. Spider-Man



Back when the ’90s Spider-Man cartoon ruled the airwaves, kids clamored to get their hands on a toy of the web-slinger of their very own, and though he was small, he was still pretty cool. You could also get a Mary Jane for your little sister, who had snap-on clothes. What didn’t make sense was putting the villains in vehicles. I’d rather have a toy of Venom, not Venom in his car. LAME!

4. Animaniacs



Considered to be one of the most popular cartoons since the original Looney Tunes, the Warner siblings and their friends got the happy meal treatment, and kids loved ‘em! I mean, who wouldn’t want their own Pinky and the Brain rolling toy? AMAZING!

3. Hercules



These were cool because you got two toys in one. The best one? I’d have to say Hades, who came with Cerberus, simply for the James Woods factor.

2. 101 Dalmatians



What was amazing about these toys was the fact there were 101 of ‘em. You rarely got doubles, and you never knew which one you were gonna get. It’s like Christmas x 101!

1. Beanie Babies



Back in the ’90s, Beanine Babies were all the rage! They were collected by kids, craft and hobby enthusiasts, lonely housewives, and pedophiles. So, McDonald’s released a smaller version for kids, several times, eventually throwing in two of their iconic mascots in there. Admit it, you want to own a Grimace.
