San Francisco Votes To Ban McDonalds Happy Meals

We just got stabbed right in the childhood — McDonalds is upping the price on the beloved Happy Meal.

Now that the Happy Meal has been removed from the revamped “$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu,” it will be raised to an average of 25 percent more nationally. But, the kid-themed meals we know and love might still be discounted at some locations.

“The $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu was created to bring our customers better value with the intent to flexibly rotate menu items on and off over time,” a company spokesperson told Food & Wine. “Some markets may even offer slight variations to the menu that best fit the preferences of their local customers. While the Happy Meal is no longer part of the nationally advertised $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu, it is still available for $3 at some U.S. restaurants.”

In remembrance of everyone’s favorite affordable childhood delicacy, we decided to take a trip back in time to take a look at the best part about the Happy Meal — the toys. Each toy is a significant milestone in the days of our innocence. From movies to video games to television shows, each toy had a special meaning to someone.
