Dallas---WORLD'S MOST UNIQUE McDONALD'S

WORLD'S MOST UNIQUE
McDONALD'S

The McDonald's at Montfort Drive and LBJ Freeway in Dallas originally was built in the form of the World's Biggest Happy Meal, with gigantic sculptures of Ronald McDonald, Big Macs, French Fries and Cokes.

In November of 2019 an email arrived informing us of the current status of this formerly McDonald's Happy Meal...

Hello. I work for the McDonald's Franchise that owns the McDonald's on Montfort and LBJ in Dallas. The "world's largest Happy Meal." This location was remodeled years ago, years before we purchased it.

While we do love the attention, some of your readers make a long drive to see this huge Happy Meal, only to be disappointed... then they get angry....then they complain. I've had several customer book birthday parties here, only to be disappointed when they arrive to see it is now a regular McDonald's.

Please consider updating this story.

Okay, the story has now been updated.

A "Happy Meal" is a meal specially tailored for children, sold at the fast-food chain McDonald's since June 1979. A toy is typically included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a small box or paper bag with the McDonald's logo.

In the United States the Happy meal includes, a side order consisting of small order of fries or pre-cut apples, a child size soft drink, milk, chocolate milk or apple juice, a hamburger, cheeseburger, or four-piece order of Chicken McNuggets. In some locations such as in Australia, the choices have been expanded to include items such as a grilled cheese sandwich (known as a "Fry Kid"), or more "healthy" options such as apple slices, salads or pasta, as one or more of the options.

In the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries, McDonald's has recently introduced a "healthy option" to the Happy Meal - children can now choose to have milk or a fruit juice drink instead of a soft drink, and bags of dried fruit (or a whole piece of fruit such as an apple, or carrot sticks) in place of fries.

REMODELED: THIS McDONALDS HAS BEEN REMODELED FROM ITS FORMER HAPPY MEAL DESIGN YOU SEE IN THESE PHOTOS

To ensure that the trademark is internationally recognizable, McDonald's now uses the term "Happy Meal" in most countries. There are some exceptions, such as in Quebec, where it is also called "Joyeux festin" (literally meaning "happy little feast") but is called "Happy Meal" in France. In Spanish-speaking Hispanic America and Puerto Rico it is known as "Cajita Feliz" (Happy Little box in Spanish), but in Spain, it is called "Happy Meal". In Brazil is known as "McLanche Feliz" (Happy McSnack in Portuguese), however in Portugal it is also called "Happy Meal". In Japan, it was called Okosama Lunch from 1987 to 1988, then Okosama Set from 1988 to 1995 (Okosama is a polite word for "child"), before being renamed to "Happy Set". In Germany, it was known as "Juniort�te" (Bag for Juniors in German) until 1999
