Even to this day, one of the most exciting things about a happy meal is the toy at the bottom of the carton. However old one may be the toy is actually the happiest part of the meal.
Usually, the toys that feature during the month in the meal are promotional for whatever kiddie flicks are currently releasing.
This time with the release of the minion’s movie, McDonald’s has decided to give out a few variants of minion toys. When these toys are tapped, they speak in the infamous “Minionese” language that the fictional creatures use to communicate.
However, these toys have left a few parents absolutely outraged. Apparently when one of the toy variants is tapped, it sounds like they say the “F” word.
Lisa McComb who is a spokesperson for McDonald’s has said,
“Minions speak ‘Minionese,’ which is a random combination of many languages and nonsense words and sounds. We’re aware of a very small number of customers who have been in touch regarding this toy, and we apologize for any confusion or offense to those who may have interpreted the sounds for anything other than gibberish. [But] the allegation that this toy is saying any offensive phrase is not true.”
McComb profoundly described the situation by saying,
“The Minion Caveman Happy Meal toy includes three phrases: ‘para la bukay,’ ‘hahaha,’ and ‘eh eh.’ Any perceived similarities to actual English words are purely coincidental.”
