McDonald's Happy Meal Box One piece This is a paper box that was used to hold a Happy Meal at McDonald's in the United States. It's cute, so I kept it without using it. It's unused, but please only purchase if you understand it's vintage. -------------------------------------------------- A meal toy is a toy that comes as a bonus with children's food at fast food restaurants. Meal toys at McDonald's in the United States started in 1979, and in Japan, they spread from around 1988 as a children's lunch (later Happy Set). Since the spread of meal toys, there have been many, including Mc character toys, movie and anime toys, and promotional toys of popular characters. Both in America and Japan, they have become collector's items that captivate not only children but also adults.
