A 32-year-old father who had promised his son Phoenix to take him to McDonald’s on his birthday created his own drive-thru with a DIY Happy Meal box.
Mark Hoyle explained how he managed to make his son’s birthday special amid the coronavirus lockdown. Father-of-two who is a YouTuber and known as LadBaby created simulator drive-thru complete with miniature car and a Happy Meal.
Mark said: ”It was my son’s birthday this week, he was four. We had a birthday cake and presents, but he asked on his birthday and I promised him that we were going to go to McDonald’s.”
”He wanted chicken nuggets and I had to explain to a four-year-old, which is difficult, that McDonald’s are all closed at the minute.”
He took 24 hours to prepare the birthday treat and after finishing he called his wife Roxanne and son Phoenix. He asked Phoenix if he wanted to eat something else on his special day.
Mark added: ”Now the McDonald’s are closed, aren’t they? But I have got a surprise for you. Because it’s your birthday – they have opened up for one day only.”
His wife was dubious if the idea would work or not as she didn’t want to see her son disappointed. She said to her husband, “Don’t tell him that we can’t go out of the house.”
”We don’t have to go out the house – McDonald’s has come to us,” Mark replied.
Their son was excited and clapped after he entered into the living room for his birthday treat. ”I have built you a road that goes all the way around with a little waiting thing and I have made a drive-thru simulator for the telly,” Mark said.
Roxanne was amazed to see how her husband managed to create the experience in a short span of time. ”You have got to get ready to order your Happy Meal,” Mark said to his son.
He then asks his son who was outside the pay window, if he wants to use card pay by cash. But the smart kid catches his dad and replies, ”It’s you Daddy!”
The cashier daddy says: ”Sorry, your order is not ready yet, do you mind parking up and we will bring it over to you?”
Mark then comes out wearing McDonald’s uniform with the Happy Meal box and a water bottle. ”Here we go, here is your Happy Meal and your order sir. Do you want to get out the car so we can just check your order?”, he asks.
After emptying the contents of the Happy Meal box, Mark tells his son, ”You’ve got a toy, we have got your fries, and we have got your chicken nuggets.”
Mark shared the video on LadBaby Facebook page and it garnered thousands of likes and shares. Social media users praised the genius dad for his creativity.
