Our TRN Time Machine segment this week (sponsored by the RetroDaze YouTube channel) is ripped from the headlines! McDonald’s recently announced retro toys for their 40th anniversary Happy Meals which led us to picking our Top 5 Happy Meal toys of our childhood! Our discussion goes beyond toys including early memories of visits to the restaurant and some of our favorite Happy Meal boxes and containers. We also read back our social media responses to your favorite McDonald’s memories.
In between segments you’ll get to hear some classic McDonald’s Happy Meal commercials and then, we’ll wrap everything up with what’s coming up on The Retro Network this coming week and more listener feedback.
We did find the McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys book that Mcikey references in the podcast on Amazon. Also check out our buddy Adam’s article on RetroDaze Timewarp: McDonald’s 1988 for even more nostalgia.
