Steve Jobs kills Disney Happy Meals





how does the exclusion of plastic toys make a happy meal healthy or unhealthy?
 


He is trying to take away the main attraction of the Happy Meal in hopes that it will make the HM undesirable to kids.
 


How in the world do you attribute this to Steve Jobs? That's a stretch!
Disney and McDonalds have been up in arms over this partnership for years since Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Home on The Range - big losers for Happy Meal toy promotions and food sales.
This long-term partnership was made in the early 90's when Disney produced hits like Aladdin and Lion King.

There's a 99.99% chance that this had anything to do with Jobs being a vegetarian. If an iPod McDonalds Happy Meal would sell more iPods and Macs, I'm sure Jobs would jump at it without blinking.

(I would buy the iPod Happy Meal by the way)
 


tony, check out that link to the LA Times article. Steve Jobs said this in a confeence call last year:

"There is value" in fast-food tie-ins, but there are also some concerns, as our society becomes more conscious of some of the implications of fast food."
