So you used to be able to buy the toy alone for $2.18. And the cost of a happy meal is $2.99 (or now $3.09, with the 10 cent surcharge.) So were they drastically overcharging for the toy, or is a Happy Meal's food content really only worth 81 cents?
Regardless, I do not buy the idea that there were lines of parents driving through just to buy the toys by themselves. What was happening was fatass children were buying adult-sized meals, and also getting a toy. So now those fatass children will have to make do with less food, or eat two Happy Meals. They'll still be fatasses, either way.
San Francisco went about this the wrong way. You can't legislate against a massive corporation from the bottom up.
