    So how many Happy Meals will you eat? There are eight diferent MLP toys you can get. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, or Twilight Sparkle in their pony or EG forms.

    Back when I was collecting the Megaforce Zords I ate three. They're really not that filling. I got Pony Pinkie Pie today.

    Are Happy Meals big in the UK? In the US you get a Hamburger,or a Cheese Burger, or a four piece Chiken McNuggets. Then for a side you get a super small fries and apple slices.

    It's been a while since I've had one to be honest Lio, but I'd imagine that if anything, they'd be smaller over here.

    Btw, I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely, they'll let you choose which toy you get.

    They do. But they only get in certian figures at certain time, and MLP is popular so the toys go fast. I had to go to two different McDonalds to get the ones I got Thursday. Each ony had one. Friday one had a new one and the other still had EG Twilight. Fortunately f for me that block has the two. One in Walmart and the other at the corner.

    It's not like every block has two. First the was the one at the corner and Walmart had th Radio Grill. The I guess McDonalds got a contract or something and all of a sudden there was one in the Walmart replacing the Radio Grill. It was honestly rather annoying limiting the options of whats offered in walking distance but it comes in handy for Happy Meal hunting.

    Oh right, I gotcha. We had two bank chains over here that did something similar; they conglomerated into one company, and for a while every town had two of the same bank. Then they realised that was dumb, and closed a load of them.

    There are a lot of McDonalds in some places in the US, though.

    So wait, MLP stuff is back at McDonalds now? Neat-o.

    It might be half over now. I shared the news kind of late. I'm surprised someone hadn't already.

    I'm really out of the loop with Brony related news, but cute stuff and food will always be on my to-do list.

    Well I guess the good news is that all the Mc Donalds don't get the toys in the same order. I got EG Pinkie Today and notice she was number 2. So it may still be possible to get all eight. I'm half way there now, and I know of two other McDonalds I can check on my days off.

    Sadly, I can't buy those toys unless McDonalds has a Vegetarian option for their happy meal or you can buy the toys without also buying the food. :(
    Ah well. there's always the blind boxes which I'm becoming obsessed with.

    Some will let you buy them with out the meal, but they're almost the same price as a meal anyway.

    I'm a vegetarian also, so you can do what I do: give the meat to a friend! You're buying the rest of it for yourself, so you can always treat a friend to lunch and give them the meat from your meal.

    Cool to see a fellow veggie! I do it as part of a religious vow, and the vow has some additional clauses. For example, I can't drink alcohol or do drugs, or eat a lot of onions and garlic. Also, I can't offer meat to others. It's in the fine print. But if McDonalds used pure veggie based oils, fried their fries separately from the McNuggets, and offered a veggie patty, I'd be all over it like hot butter on flapjacks. Maybe its for the better I can't. Knowing my addictive personality, I'd probably weigh an extra three-hundred pounds if I could eat there.

    Yeah, they're not so good about that. However, maybe a friend could buy their meal and give you the toy? I dunno... the things we have to do sometimes just to eat amaze me. xD
