Happy Meals for adults … McDonald’s is finally going after that great untapped market … adults who want Happy Meals. Starting Monday (October 3rd), for a limited time, you can get a Happy Meal with adult-sized portions (a Big Mac or 10-piece nuggets with fries and a drink). And, yes, you’ll get a toy, too. The boxes come with one of four figurines: Grimace, the Hamburglar, Birdie, and Cactus Buddy.
Speaking of McDonald’s … The smell of McDonald's fries and burgers may be appealing to some, but it's not for everybody -- especially residents of a New York City apartment building who have to smell it all day long. Residents of the building on Manhattan's Upper East Side say the McDonald's next door has turned its vent fan toward their building, because a new luxury high-rise is being built right where the vent fan used to blow its greasy exhaust. Residents believe the owner of the new construction convinced McDonald's to turn its vent away from them, and now they're forced to smell burgers and fries and all day and night. They've appealed to a local councilwoman for help, but so far the city insists the McDonald's is in compliance with city code.
