Shockingly, someone recalled being denied a Happy Meal at McDonald’s when they were still just a kid.
“I was rejected at McDonald’s at 12 for trying to order a happy meal,” they shared.
Even The Washington Post has reported on the kids’ meal controversy. A story from last September examined the reasons why adults are interested in ordering from kids’ menus. There’s the obvious reason: It costs less. If you ordered off kids’ menus at restaurants for an entire year, you’d save a significant amount of money.
But it turns out that the size of the meal is also a pretty big motivator. The Washington Post spoke with Ashley Garrett, a self-proclaimed “kids meal connoisseur” on TikTok. She confirmed that people in the weight-loss-surgery community are very supportive in the comments on her TikToks.
One user commented on Schwarz’s viral TikTok, explaining that after having bariatric surgery, they were given a special card to show restaurants. “When I got my bariatric surgery, the surgeon literally gave me a card to give to restaurants explaining I needed to order from the kids’ menu,” they wrote.
