I can top that!


My favorite Happy Meal toys ever were these guys, the Changeables, transforming robots whose disguised forms were McDonald's products. As you can see, they enjoyed a wide range of deception. Some of them were disguised as the food itself, some looked like the packaging, and then the frybots incorporated both concepts.

I still love the absurdity of the idea -- for safety, disguise yourself as food!
