At Taco Bell I get the Burrito kid's meal w/a Medium Dr. Pepper. (Secret of most fast food places - they will usually let you upgrade your drink to the next size for like $0.10). It's actually cheaper then getting a bean burrito, nachos and drink seperate. Plus you get the toy.:)

i didnt think they allowed adults to order happy meals/kids meals.

if i dont get the combo meal, i will just order from the dollar menu instead.

If adults can't order them, then who'll order for a four year old? The places just think you're ordering for a kid.

It's different at a fast food place than at a sit down restaurant. If you're eating at a place like Applebee's with a friend and don't have a kid with you, then who's gonna believe you're ordering it for your 4 year old?

That is true for the most part (gotta love a kid's meal every now and then). It also doesn't hurt if you're a little short on cash flow. The toys are pretty cool perks as well. :cool:

Some restaurants have kid meals that can really be considered adult size. For example, a few weeks ago, my daughter and I ate at this restaurant called Dallas BBQ. My daughter ordered chicken fingers and french fries from the kids menu. Those chicken fingers were HUGE and they gave her around 4 or 5 of them. There was no way she was going to eat all of that. I could've ordered that meal for myself and would've been nice and full, lol.
