Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
One reason people continue to eat at McDonald’s well into their adulthood is because of the subconscious nostalgia they get from seeing the Happy Meal. We loved the Happy Meal as little kids because of the friendly packaging and the exciting prize that came with the meal. But you’d be surprised about who you have to worry about stealing the Happy Meal toys.
It turns out that McDonald’s employees like to steal Happy Meal toys to build their own collections and to hopefully earn some extra cash one day. Beanie Babies, for example, were very popular stuffed animals in the early 90s and 2000s. These toys can now be worth thousands of dollars!
