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.
Hernandez said she heard, "What the F-," (expletive) followed by "All be damned." The little girl's grandmother thought Julissa said it at first. "She said, 'no that wasn't me, that's the minion, that's the toy,'" Hernandez told FOX 13

12 Absurd Facts About ‘Alice in Wonderland’
11. ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND WAS A PIONEER OF BRAND LICENSING.
Carroll was a savvy marketer of his story and characters. That’s perhaps the main reason the story is so well known today, even for those who haven’t actually read the book. “He’s one of the first authors working with manufacturers to bring out related products,” Vega says. He was all about the tie-ins. He designed a postage stamp case decorated with images of Alice and allowed her image to adorn cookie tins and other products. For readers eager to learn more about the origins of the book, he produced a facsimile of the original manuscript, a rare move for an author of his day. Later, he created a shorter version of the book for even younger readers. His 19th century business savvy foretold franchise-obsessed companies like Disney decades before their founding.
The one I got says “I buried Paul” or “cranberry sauce.” Hard to tell.
Reminiscent of the flap about the Teletubby that allegedly repeated “faggot, faggot” about 15 years ago.
I had a client call me this week, mad as hell, over this. He got the toy and told me it was swearing and he wanted to sue.
I’m not so sure about the F word, but I’d be damned is clear as a bell...
I wonder if they were made in China...
Apparently this is considered "established fact" amongst the kids at her school.
New all purpose excuse...blame it on the minion.
I am the Walrus.
That voice box was produced for after the 2012 presidential election but was accidentally put in the wrong toy.
Wow, what a blast from the past. Too bad Breathed went full wacko.
I've known of Alice for as long as I can remember. Never read the book though. My wife got it on the Kindle to read to the kids. She didn't read it to them. Lewis Carroll must have been on an acid trip. That was one weird book, and nothing at all like most of the movies/tv shows produced about it.

Mine says, “go to DC” and “bring guns and rope.”
They should sue the liberal elite jerks behind this...
The books seemed nice and I could not figure out why they were unsalable until I turned to the last of twelve pages. . . and when you put the slider down to the location for that page and touched the button to hear what the book spoke for that page it said "HA, HA, HA, F*CK YOU!" quite clearly. A random check showed that very single one of them did the same thing.
I sent them to a land fill.
did Kanye West do the voices..?
you’re better off eating the dinosaurs and tossing the cereal.
