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.
