I would have gone with 5 cents rather than 10, though. What parent will say no to 5 cents? McDonald's pays Communist China about 10 cents for every thousand of these trinkets they sell for 10 cents each.
A sucker is born every minute.

No, you must buy a Happy Meal first. They will not be sold individually anymore. They used to be, before this ordinance, for a little over 2 bucks. But McDonald’s has now said they will not be, at least in San Fran.

They allow naked men to wander around. They used to go into restaurants and plop their naked posteriors on the seats. SF recently banned naked people from entering eateries.

I raised 5 and took them to McD’s a couple of times a year as a treat.
They do the same now with their kids.
No harm done.

that's because people that work for a living will ALWAYS be smarter and more creative than those that simply leech off of society and enact stooopid laws for a living...

When they go to the total ban on 100 watts they should just re-market them as 99 watts.

When they go to the total ban on 100 watts they should just re-market them as 99 watts. I have been seeing a bunch of 95 watt bulbs on the shelves. That is probably why.
I expect SF to make it illegal to sell toys with a meal which could not be bought without the meal.

And if people in San Francisco want to feed McDonalds to their kids with or without a toy, it is cool with me.But that's exactly the issue. The city of San Francisco doesn't want your kids to get a toy, and they want to take that choice away from you. As a non nanny state sycophant, you must see that as pretty uncool.
Right?
I mean it's not like you're some liberal troll who lacks normal conservative instincts yet has managed for years to avoid getting the ZOT or something, right?
To: Yardstick
Actually, in my posts I indicated that I opposed the SF policy of banning Happy Meal toys.
I also stated that I never took my kids to McDonald’s which is a decision my wife and I made long before we had kids and am happy that the state never forced our kids to eat at McDonald’s.

It’s amazing!! No one in America EVER eats at McDonald’s if you read blogs, forums etc where fast food is discussed and yet they sell BILLIONS of burgers and a gazillion tons of FF every year.
How can that be?
To: Kaslin
Makes me want to go out and treat my whole herd to some happy meals. YAY
