A father has become an internet sensation after coming up with an alternative to McDonald’s Happy Meal that he calls ‘McDaddy’s Smile Meal.
’
UK-based Andy came up with a brilliant idea to satisfy his kids’ cravings for the fast-food chain’s signature meal in order to save money and time and provide his kids with what he believes to be healthier food.
As the driving instructor, who is a father-of-two, revealed, the closest McDonald’s branch is 13 miles away from their home, meaning it’s a hassle to go there just to get a warm meal.
And so, the father created his own version of the Happy Meal and made sure not to forget about the burger, fries, soft drinks, and the toy.
“The kids wanted a McDonald’s but the closest one is 13 miles away, it’s quite rural round here so we can’t always get them one,” Andy said.
“I popped into town and picked up a couple of toys, ran into Iceland and grabbed a few burgers and whacked it all together.
“I used the grease proof paper and a bit of tape to keep them all together and there we had it. The kids loved it because it all came in a bag, they found their chips, burger and toy and ate the lot. It was all freshly made so it was healthier than the original takeaway and all together it only cost me £3.”
As Andy explained, the idea was born after his kids, 4 and 6, asked him to buy them Happy Meals on one Saturday when he didn’t have the time for the 13-mile trip.
“My wife had to come home from work because she was a little under the weather so I was left to my devices on daddy duty to get lunch sorted,” the father added.
“It was actually really easy to make, and my daughters had a lot of fun opening it all so maybe that’ll be the plan in the future when they want a McDonald’s.”
