McDonalds "Deluxe" Play Food Set

anniehoo

I was in Smyths Toystore earlier today looking for a plastic sword for my pirate wench costume for sat night and also a pressie for my mate whos visiting with her 2 kids tomorrow.Got a Peppa Pig drawing easel thing in case you're wondering.

I dont have kids yet,my diet could be better but i havent eaten McDonalds in well over 2 yrs (hate the crap).

Anyhoooooo (:p)..i came across this lovely mealtime deluxe set

It baffled me and pissed me off. WTF???A delux mealtime set....i was shocked. Maybe i shouldve been more worried i was lookin for a sword in a toystore but meh...opinions?

Every college student should be given one of those in preparation of the only career available to them in this country

Modern day tea set I suppose... for fat kids

Stained Class

Ah shure, it would have the exact same nutritional value as the real thing anyway..

Looks tasty. Oh look,no salt or napkins,fooking typical.:(

policarp

Good old McDees, get that branding in for their crap imprinted on young minds as soon as possible.

Gawd bless the corporate PR stunts! :rolleyes:

McDonalds chips are usually very salty so never really need seasoning. Napkins can be found at various locations on the counter.

Do you want them to eat the fooking meal for you too?

*nastiness is due to hunger. I want McD's & I want it now.

Cheap Thrills!

Disgraceful, gettin' the kiddies onto this muck :mad: Everyone knows Burger King's nicer! :P

No, I'll eat it myself thanks, I've tried reaching the counter from my car but failed.

Scream at your child all year for playing with their food, then give them that as a Christmas present for the lolidays.

I liked this part:

"The set also includes a talking headset with 10 different phrases and greetings. Batteries included."

10 different "phrases and greetings"??? thats way more than I've ever heard a mcdonalds employee use.

It's not even edible. :mad:

I dunno lads, but i just thought that "toy" was insane. I dont have kids, but if i did and someone turned up with that thing, it wouldnt get near my child.

Subliminal and blatant in your face marketing as adults is one thing, but this set is aimed at the 2+s (wtf). Fcuked from the off...

McDonalds toy sets have been around for about 20 years or more.

you can get a full kitchen. It's the same as a normal toy kitchen TBH.

"50 piece play food set which includes all your favourite snacks"

Advertising FAIL....

i don't see my favorite quarter pounder with cheese with the bun with the sesame seeds, or twisty fries! :mad:

In the spirit of this cynical exercise perhaps Diageo could bring out a "junior drinker" set with some plastic pints of Guinness and a novelty naggin of Johnny Walker. Maybe even one of those rubber puke puddles that used to be so popular?

In the words of Gary Glitter "Gotta get them while they're young."

Would you not be better off buying the real thing? It'd probably last just as long...

Considering Ireland is completely f**ked at the moment, how about Macdonalds bringing out a Recession Buster menu?

Egg McNuthin', anyone?
