I got Riley a kid’s meal at Chick-fil-A yesterday. It had the obligatory “prize/toy” enclosed. This one was lamer than usual. It was a roughly 2″ X 2″ cube that had questions on each side. The intent, I believe, is to spur conversation during a family meal. Everyone takes a turn rolling the “die” and answering a question.
There were some fun ones like:
“What would you like to be famous for?”
“What’s the most fun you’ve ever had?”
“What is the strangest food you have every eaten?” (Chick-fil-A nuggets maybe?)
“What’s the most amazing thing you have ever found?”
“What’s the most physical pain you’ve ever had to endure?”Wait a minute. What was that last one? The most PHYSICAL PAIN? Who’s writing this shit? So much for light family discussion.
Do they think that John McCain is going to be playing the game? Are they working with Child Protective Services?
You’re right, Eric. This has to be the lamest fast food toy we’ve ever seen. We would also like to point out that the questions on that side of the cube all seem related somehow. Perhaps the author had an unhappy childhood and an abusive babysitter?

Pffft…if you guys think this toy is bad, you weren’t around for the Burger Chef Funmeal. I think I got a pencil that said “Burger Chef” on it one time.
I reconcile my giving money to the very overtly Christian Chik-Fil-A by remembering that they’re good to their workers…well, as good as fast food work can get. I’ve had a few friends who worked for them, and they were really good about class schedules and extracurricular activities, and scheduling work around them.
Also, their chicken is made of actual chicken, their fries are made of actual potato, and they cook them in joy. I’m craving a breakfast biscuit now, and the only thing that’s made it to Australia is KFC. And they don’t even have biscuits here (though they do have fries, which is nice). Jerks.
@xuande: Crap, don’t tell me that. I despise Focus on the Family almost as much as they despise me. I don’t want to have my favourite junk food ruined by them.
Mmmmmmm, Chick-Fil-A – I wish they would get them here on the Left Coast.
I work at Chick-fil-a and I do have to say that sometimes are toys are crude. I never did get the chance to take a full look when we had those toys at my Chick-fil-a. I just thought it was some kind of board game. For Petes Sake Marketing WAKE UP , get some Cartoonnetwork show or whatever on mounth , then the crap the next. Plus maybe have a Kids Meal marketed for 8-13 which will have non-crap and save the crap for the younger kids.
