Interesting .....
McDonald’s distributes 1.5 billion toys annually, making them the largest distributor of toys in the world. Approximately 20% of all purchases at McDonald’s are Happy Meals, which comes with a toy. In the United States alone, nine out of ten kids between the ages of 3 and 9 eat at McDonald’s at least once a month. With 68 million Happy Meals sold on a daily basis, if you do the math… that’s a lot of toys. McDonald's rolled out the first Happy Meal in 1979. The biggest hit toy that came from the Happy Meal was the Ty Beanie Baby.

GOOD morning. Great list today.
It was a GOOD thing for American carmakers to have Asian competition. My first new car was American made- and we literally had the steering wheel lift-off the column when we went over a speed bump- in a parking garage- so no, we weren't going fast at all. Competition forced the domestic carmakers to up their game. Cars may be more expensive now- but they certainly last longer and are safer. YAY Free Markets!
Boy, cars are certainly expensive now. Over the top. More than my first house!! xo
