McDonald's menu had unique adult Happy Meal worth traveling for

Anyone over the age of 40 remembers a time when fast food options were limited.

Most markets had a McDonald's, a Burger King, maybe a Wendy's. and possibly a Taco Bell. Sure, there were regional players like Roy Rogers and Jack in the Box, but for people of a certain age, McDonald's was a major part of their childhood.

The Happy Meal, which seems like it has existed forever, actually first joined the McDonald's (MCD) menu in 1979. It was an idea that now seems obvious, which was revolutionary at the time.

Happy Meals come in a box that offers various activities, filled with a burger or Chicken McNuggets, French fries, and a drink. Technically, you can substitute apple slices for fries, but that almost certainly only happens very rarely.
