[Cheerio]

Glad you brought up McDonalds Restaurants. Anyone else recall the free-for-all Bad Restaurant Day that was McDonalds very first day of their very first TeenyBeany Happy Meal promotion?

Customers were ordering, then quickly throwing away, perfectly good Happy Meal food for the sake of greedily grabbing the Teeny Beany Toy and rapidly returning to the order lines for moremoremore Meals/Beanys.

Even driving into/near a McDonalds driveway entrance that day was an experience. And on TeenyBeany Day One, unfortunately, my Bank shared ONE ENTRANCE PATH FOR CARS with a McDonalds BUT they had two seperate parking lots.

At the McDonalds, too many customers in lines snaking outside the restaurant doors blocked car drive-in paths and mobbed any car that managed to squeeze thru, furiously knocking on its windows while screaming, "I NEED a Patty Platypus!!! Who has a Pinky Flamingo Bird??? Who wants to TRADE?!?!"

One frantic TeenyBeany customer not only knocked on my window while screaming, but followed my car to my parking spot AT THE BANK NEXT TO THE MCDONALDS while continuing to complain about her TeenyBeany Trade drama/dilemma. As I exited my car to go into the bank, she proceeded to yell at me for NOT having a TeenyBeany to trade and for NOT going into the McDonalds!
