“Every meal is a happy meal if you leave your kids at home”

McDonald’s restaurants sell a “Happy Meal” (for children), but some adults have their own idea of a happy meal.

“Every meal is a happy meal if you leave the kids at home” was posted on Twitter by @tumble_weeds_eh on May 2, 2018. “Every meal is a happy meal, if you leave your kids at home” was posted on Reddit—Oneliners on July 19, 2020.

Wikipedia: Happy Meal
A “Happy Meal” is a kids’ meal usually sold at the American fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s since June 1979. A small toy is included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a red cardboard box with a yellow smiley face and the McDonald’s logo. The packaging and toy are frequently part of a marketing tie-in to an existing television series, film or toyline.
