16. What date was the Happy Meal introdiced to the UK, what price was it then and when did the price move to £1.99
The Happy Meal was introduced to the UK in 1986 but we have not been able to verify its cost then. The £1.99 price point that currently stands has not changed since 1992 despite inflation of 47 per cent. You might also be interested in knowing that the first Happy Meal arrived in the US in 1979 and consisted of a hamburger or cheeseburger, a small soft drink, small Fries, a portion of cookies and a selection of toys, stencils and puzzle books all for the princely sum of $1. In setting Happy Meal prices, McDonald's has always aimed to give customers good value for money.

20. when on holiday in France the children's happy meals included a healthy pudding, either yoghurt drink or fruit puree at the same cost of a UK happy meal, why don't McD's in the UK do this?
Each country develops menu items and promotions appropriate to their locality. Where a promotion has been successful elsewhere, it may well be taken on board in the UK. An example of this is the salad range, which was initially launched in Australia and the US. Currently, you can swap the French Fries in the Happy Meal for a Fruit Bag or Carrot Sticks.
