Aside from Burger King‘s hilariously horrifying King, Ronald McDonald is probably the creepiest fast food mascot out there, especially if you have a fear of clowns!
However, McDonald’s has really outdone themselves by introducing us to a brand new character that is pretty much guaranteed to send shivers down your spine!
Meet Happy, the talking, bug-eyed Happy Meal box that will be replacing Freddy Krueger and that little kid from The Grudge in your nightmares tonight!
While the creepy mascot is new here in the states, he’s actually already been scaring kids around the world for quite some time now! McDonald’s released a statement saying:
“Happy is an animated McDonald├óΓé¼Γäós Happy Meal box who was first introduced in 2009 to children and families in France. Happy has since made its way to Latin America and other countries in Europe and is now set to make a grand entrance in the U.S. Happy is about bringing more fun and excitement to kids├óΓé¼Γäó meals, including eating wholesome food choices like low-fat yogurt.”
Basically, Happy is meant to encourage kids to go with healthier options like fruits and low-fat yogurts! Or maybe he’s meant to scare them into making the right choice! Honestly, we have no idea!
All we know is that talking box is downright creepy and we want to be as far away from it as possible!
