Either this is a brilliant marketing campaign or McDonald's has egg on its face.
Customers have complained that a talking minions toy included in recent Happy Meals uses curse words.
Alexis Hernandez said her 5-year-old daughter, Julissa, opened up the minion toy from her McDonald's Happy Meal while she was sitting in the back seat of their car and what they heard immediately got their attention.

ROTFL!
When the gibberish rattles, people will hear what’s in their own head.
These offended adults don’t seem to realise that it is their own mind making connections to common phraseology they expect to hear.
