Pirates of the Caribbean Happy Meals
One day a week I have to work a slightly later shift at my job. I've gotten into the habit that on these days I leave a little early and head to McDonald's. I pick up a McChicken sandwich to eat on the way and a salad to stick in the fridge for later on. On my way there this week, I was thinking to myself how much I really really wanted a Happy Meal. But a real Happy Meal, with a cool toy and an actual Happy Meal box. Well I was in luck, because as I pulled up I discovered the new Pirates of the Caribbean Happy Meal.
Thus I paraded into work with my Happy Meal and my giant cup of ice coffee. I have become amazingly addicted to McDonald's Ice Coffee. The other day I was nearly late for work because the drive-in line was too long so I went inside. Then I had to deal with some jacksauce in front of me holding up the line to chat with the cashier about getting his hip replaced or some shit. I grabbed my coffee and stuffed my pockets with packs of sugar and drove 80mph to work.
Anyway, back to the Happy Meal. I got into work, sat down, and ate my Happy Meal at my desk, then ripped open my toy. I was excited at having a cool bandanna, as amazingly small as it was for my head. That didn't stop me from parading around the office going, "HEY GUYS LOOK WHAT I GOT IN MY HAPPY MEAL!!!" Then I proceeded to my usual tasks of calling up UPS and telling them to stop breaking and stealing so many of our packages.
I was so impressed at the prospect of this Happy Meal, I started an article on it. I'll update it as I collect more of the toys. It's quite a task, as it's written in Pirate speak. I just can't resist the chance to dress up like a saucy sea wench. Kisses!!

Not sure what's more exciting:
1) New CrownCombo article
2) The promise of more articles in the series
3) Happy Meals come in boxes again? Since when? I always see those paper bags and die a little inside.

Mystie, you look adorable in your pirate getup. Pirates 2 is an ok movie, but I prefer the first one.
Am I the only one that finds it funny that both the single and double cheeseburger is on the $1 menu for the same price? Shouldn't the single cheeseburger be cheaper?

No shit? Singles used to be $0.39 back in my day.

oh wow i want that skeleton pirate soooo bad. i dont understand the whole "healthy alternative" happy meals? why would you go and buy your kids a tiny milk and tiny applesauce? it just seems wrong. trips to fast food places are supposed to be rewards for a long day being forced to shop with your mom, going to the dentist, doing good on a school project, or "trying" the food at your aunt and uncles. if you then give your kid milk and fruit, it just kills the novelty and adds to the punishment. :/

The bad thing is, that's not the case with many parents. Instead, McDonalds is less of a "treat" and more of an every-day unhealthy "shuttupalreadyandcramsomefriesinyourmouthhole" thing.

Totally! I mean, this is what I see every time I pass through mcdonalds.
mom: What would you like?
girl: ummm.... chicken nuggets!
mom: well that means it was to have something healthy to go with it! lets get apple dippers too.
girl: But I wanted fries!
Mom: No, its not healthy.
Hey parents. dont go to McDonalds for health food! your better off eating grass.

I just have to say, it is incredibly hard to read a feature written in pirate lingo when one is drunk.

You make me want to go pick up some Happy Meals! Those toys are awesome for Happy Meal fodder. Great article too... you should go out to Catalina island and go to Pirate Day if you ever for some strange reason are on the West Coast (they speak a lot of pirate talk at Pirate Day). The pirate lingo is a great touch and equally hard to read when you are tired and half insane from sleep deprivation.
