A seven-year-old New Zealand girl was given a condom in a gift that came with a so-called "Happy Meal" at a Wellington McDonald's outlet, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
"I was pretty horrified, really," grandfather Rowan Hatch told the Dominion Post after he had found the condom in its unopened plastic wrapper inside a small sports bag that came with a meal he bought for Maia Whitaker.
"The fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing - it was going to be difficult to explain, really. She's only seven."
The restaurant manager swapped the bag for a pencil case, and a McDonald's spokesperson said the incident was being investigated, the AP reports.
Should have inflated it, look a balloon!
Quick recovery from an embarrasing situation.
Was it in the Big Mac?
You must be joking: Massachusetts would never allow its public school children to be served a Big Mac and fries.
Quick! Call in the lawyers! My granddaughter has been traumatized by a Happy Meal!
She must have ordered the Whitefish Filet...
Is that a McNugget... or are you happy to see me?
It could have been worse...
That's actually a Mister Happy Meal.
If this had happened in Nan’s SanFran, the manager would have given the girl a cucumber with which to practice putting the condom on.
Misleading headline alert ... sounds like a senior citizen did the finding. Grandpa trashed the potential award.
Somebody’s plans went awry. Hope the partner had an extra.
inside a “small” sports bag
I doubt anyone will claim it then
No, no! I said give them CONDIMENTS with the Happy Meal!!!
So, THAT’S why they ask you wehether the toy is for a boy or a girl when you’re going through the drve-thru.
ROTFLMAOPIMP!
Hey, look....gay children need to be happy, too....!!!
I mean, it IS “normalcy” isn’t it..???
I heard this morning that a father bought three Happy Meals at the McDonald’s in Ottawa, IL, and in one was a cigarette lighter, in the second was a kind of pipe, and in the third a bag of pot. Evidently an employee there thought the Happy Meal boxes were a good place to stash his paraphenalia.
I’m curious why the person packing the Happy Meals didn’t notice; but then I think I think about how many times I’ve gotten what I didn’t order, so you never know.
They didn’t say if the guy was smoking on the job or not; and I’m not sure I want to know what was being planned in New Zealand.
Do they still use the “I’m Lovin’ It” slogan?
