In an interesting twist on the concept of the 'Happy Meal', a McDonalds restaurant in New Zealand managed to give away a condom with one of its children's meals.

For the seven-year-old girl who was on the receiving end of the condom, however, the meal was maybe not so happy.

The condom was discovered by seven-year-old Maia Whitaker and her grandparents, Suzanne and Rowan Hatch, in a McDonalds in Wellington. The condom (a green Durex one, with packet, in case you were wondering) came inside a small sports bag that came free with the meal.

'I was pretty horrified really, the fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing. It would be difficult to explain, she's only seven,' said Mr Hatch.

A spokesperson for McDonalds explained that the sports bags were a late substitute for the previous Happy Meal toy, which had sold out.

The one that Maia got had been unsealed for display purposes, said the spokesperson. 'Somehow' the condom ended up in the bag, and the bag ended up with the customer.

The staff let Maia swap the condom for a pencil case.

Oh wow, a pencil case.

I'd've kept the condom. At least you could use it as a water toy... Of sorts.

*rofl*

They don't have those in America! :p

lolz, believe it or not I was getting my hair cut last night and the female hairdressors were talking about something relating to a condom in a happy meal, they thought it was hilarious.

what next from those cazy neighbours of ours

Oh wow, a pencil case.

I'd've kept the condom. At least you could use it as a water toy... Of sorts.

TBH, A pencil case is more useful to a 7 year old than a condom.

And she didn't mistake it for a balloon, or at least she didn't appear to...

Oh wow, a pencil case.

I'd've kept the condom. At least you could use it as a water toy... Of sorts.Your mind is far too perverted and your sexual preferences are not welcome here, sir.

*ewws at the mental image you gave me*

so now they ask you
would you like a condom with that happy meal

Your mind is far too perverted and your sexual preferences are not welcome here, sir.

*ewws at the mental image you gave me*

Wow, straight guys aren't allowed?

That's not one I've heard before.

Well I was joking about your reference to water fights with a sexual health device... and it's kinda like a sport... and well... Why do people like those types of activities? >.<

But disallowing you because you're straight is probably more amusing.

Oh.

*shuns*

she should also sue because of the lack of choice for the latex intolerant! (see what I did there)

though green Durex means tingle in the U.K, which by my mind means Mcdonalds got ripped on that pencil case swap :p

Oh wow, a pencil case.

I'd've kept the condom. At least you could use it as a water toy... Of sorts. can you imagine how big a water balloone that would be?

But disallowing you because you're straight is probably more amusing.hey, if you can only think of perverted uses...

so now they ask you
would you like a condom with that happy meal
Oh, I wanna be there to answer...
"why? I'm gonna eat the damn thing, not fuck it."

can you imagine how big a water balloone that would be?

1: I've made some massive water balloons before, so hey, it'd be fine with me.

2: I'd pay to be there to see that.

We're a nation of child-traumatisers. The other week innocent toddlers were exposed to a horror movie in place of some animated G rated the movie theatre was supposed to play. Also one of our pizza companies gave away condoms in a mail-drop the other month and apparently that also endangered the children.


We just dont much care for thinking of the children in these here parts. We wont be allowed to slap or smack them soon so I guess we are all hard at work coming up with alternative means of tormenting the wee little dears.

Oh, I wanna be there to answer...

if it a good looking babe asking my answer be
"why want to go to bed with me?"

hey, if you can only think of perverted uses...I blame the internet. I absolve myself of all responsibility.

They probably loved the show.

saw that on youtube yesterday

saw that on youtube yesterdayYou really should check NSG more often, as you could have seen that months ago if you did. You should be ashamed of yourself. :p

They make lousy water balloons. *nods*






































What?

it's called Life and it been getting in the way of NS

Yawn. When I hear a decent argument that explains how a seven year old understanding what a condom does harms him/her, then I'll get concerned.

I don't know why...

I can't fathom why...

but I just got the image of a scene from the movie ConeHeads... where Sinbad asks Dan Akroydd's character for some of that gum he's chewing...

And Dan's character blows a... bubble...

There's people who can't tell the difference between balloons and funny looking condoms out there, maybe :p

I'm thinking that Michael Jackson is behind all this. Somehow.

Q; What's the difference between a Happy Meal with a condom in it, and one without one?

A: One is a Happy Meal, and the other is a Very Happy Meal.

Ok. I'll go away now.

'I was pretty horrified really, the fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing. It would be difficult to explain, she's only seven,' said Mr Hatch.
How about....
"It's something adults use when they have sex"
She is 7 after all, and so can probably cope with the concept that adults have sex.


That said, it should not have been in a Happy Meal. Dope, sure. But not a condom.
