I'm just going to go to a McDonalds 20 minutes away where nobody knows me and i wont feel stupid buying the happy meal. Or, ill just pay some kid 2 bucks to pretend hes my little brother.

Am I the only one who feels no shame about ordering a Happy Meal even though I'm an adult? ;-) (Though I might balk at ordering something named a "Big Kids Meal" -- luckily a Happy Meal contains about as much grease as I want to eat at one sitting.)

I do feel shame about asking to dig through the toys trying to read labels through the packages to get the color I want. Hasn't necessarily stopped me from doing it.

Dunno if I'm going to bother this time 'round. All I really want is a pink poogle, and I might just try ebay... since if I go and there's no poogles, I'll probably break down and get whatever they have, and that leaves me with an extra plushie to get rid of...

bgryph, your not the only person who feels no shame about ordering a happy meal, anyway I definately want to get that pinkpoogle. It would be great to have with me when I'm on the computer

If you get any extra ones, you know where to send them.

Over here.

anyone know if this and maybe the Plushie Nova avatar will be reactivated?

EDIT: I sometimes find mini-Neopets at the Goodwill. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to find one there?

I'm guessing so as the new dates have been put on it (July 8th through August 4th) and I really really hope the plushie nova avatar will be re-released, last years one came out ONE day before I joined neopets *shakes fist*

I'm still trying to get my hands on the jubjub ones from the last promotion. People are asking INSANE amounts for these plushies on ebay.

Don't feel any shame in buying a happy meal or big kids meal, my dad still does sometimes when he doesn't feel like a lot of food. Pink Poogle Toy! I WANT ONE! If I get that, I'm happy. I have about 10-25 from last time, I took some from people I Know, they gave em to me. Now there junk though in my basement. So I don't care this much about this promotion except I heard a rumor there will be rare item codes in the things.

Looking at the options on the page, it's not a rumor.

And it seems we get one free one a day to!

The Wonder Weezel · Tue Jul 05, 2005 8:23 pm

We get one free item each day of the mcdonalds promotion.... which are usually mcdonalds items or virtual plushies that resemble the plushies in the promotion, such as a checkered poogle plushie or a starry kougra plushie.

Also, each toy comes with a virtual prize code..... which you can also redeem at neopets.com/happymeal. what you can win from THOSE.... i dont know yet.

Im the only one here who bought a happy meal toy at Mc Donalds ?
I used to collect that snoopy around the world thing and i used to not bother getting the meals and asking if i could buy them .The people at the local Mc Donalds said ''sure'' and took the basket of where all the toys were and i choose the ones i needed to complete my collection . And i dont think they were that much , cheaper than aa happy meal anyways

Hope that helped

In my local (chavvy)McDonalds, if I just asked for the toy, the till operator would stare at me until I eventually got out of the store...

I would just stare back untill he got them out.

Then agian, I'm a kid so I probably wouldn't be stared at, and my own stare isn't that intimidating.... but still! XD
