in my opinion MacDonalds Happymeal strategy makes kids like to go there for a toy (gift) with the meal more than want to go there just to eat..
http://www.happymeal.com/en_US/ at that website you can see a lot of games and stuff for kids just to make them loyal for Macdonald and go there all the time.
