What are the Happy Meals?

McDonald's Corporation is an American fast-food restaurant. It was launched in San Bernardino, California, in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald. The company is well-known for its hamburgers, french fries, and, in particular, Big Macs and Happy Meals.

The brand's Happy Meals are nothing but hamburger or chicken McNuggets that come with kids fries, apple slices, a beverage of choice, and a Happy Meal toy. These were specifically designed for kids.

The Happy Meal concept began in 1977, when the owner of the franchise met with Bernstein, an American businessman. The brand was seeking methods to improve the dining experience for families with children. As per Bernstein, everyone would be happy if the kids could get their own boxed lunch instead of just picking at their parents' meals.
