Do we actually pay for all the McDonalds toys with Happy Meals.
apparently with the recent McD Huntrix Card issue we do
Here in NZ we paid $15 NZ for a happy meal with one pack of Huntrix cards wich was a promotion.
Now the promotion has finished the price of a Happy Meal has been reduced bu $2.50 thus making it $12.50
Wich in the context we were actually paying $2.50 for the pack of cards.
So we were actually paying $2.50 for something that we thought was a free Happy Meal item .
Any thoughts on this I do not know what other Countries were charged or what was the outcome was.

The $12.50 also covered the cost of the illustrated Happy Meal boxes and the signage in every McD and other advertising. If there was a food item that was provided only for the promotion, the extra money covered that too. On top of that, was whatever profit they wanted per Happy Meal.
