The 25 Years of Happiness Celebration Continues at McDonald's®, Happy Meals Feature Family Favorites

OAK BROOK, Ill., August 19, 2004 – The 25 Years of Happiness Happy Birthday Happy Meal® celebration continues at McDonald’s with the return of classic kid favorites. As the Happy Meal celebrates its 25th birthday, iconic characters are making a return to the popular children’s meal. Beginning this fall, McDonald’s will offer two double features that will delight kids and bring fun memories to mom and dad.

According to toy and children’s lifestyle expert Chris Byrne, also known as The Toy Guy™, “these classic brands capitalize on the current cultural trend that has caused a boom in so-called ‘retro’ toys while offering today’s children rich, imaginative and exciting play experiences that are relevant to their lives.”

G.I. JOE and Hello Kitty – Friday, September 17 – Thursday, October 14
Hasbro’s G.I. JOE brand has delivered hours of endless backyard adventures for boys for the past 40 years. And now, they’re coming to McDonald’s Happy Meals. Based on the new G.I. JOE VALOR VS. VENOM story soon to be released on DVD and VHS, these exciting G.I. JOE toys are built for action-packed fun. Featuring four action figures, each with detachable backpacks offering a unique function, and four functioning vehicles designed to make the characters invincible, the G.I. JOE Happy Meal is sure to be a hit. There’s the brave and daring DUKE who comes with a backpack launcher or off-road vehicle, the evil COBRA COMMANDER – equipped with a Backpack Disc Launcher or propeller launching helicopter, the powerful ninja SNAKE EYES –with a super-sleek, push-along motorcycle or Compass Communicator, and the maniacal DR. MINDBENDER – a threat to all with his Venomizing ATV or Venom Water Squirter.

Hello Kitty the purr-fectly precious feline celebrates 30 years of fun and friendship with a commemorative line of Hello Kitty Happy Meal premiums featuring some of the most popular retail product since Sanrio introduced the line in 1974. Coming to warm the hearts of young girls will be Ring Around the Kitty, Amazing Hoop Kitty, Kitty Toaster, Ballerina Kitty, Cool Kitty, Hello Kitty Calendar, and Pedal Pusher Kitty with Pencil. They’re so cute and memorable; customers will be waiting to pounce on them as soon as they are introduced.

God Bless America for teaching our children proper family values, especially for promoting war-like tendencies in little boys and submission for little girls.
