Here at Happy Toy Reviews we review the next new McDonald's Talking Tom Happy Meal toys box coming up at your local McDonald's restaurant in the USA ... These Nintendo toys launch in McDonald's Happy Meals next week New Supersize Mario Bros. Nintendo has teamed up with McDonald's to include a range of Mario toys in Happy Meals from next week. Figurines featuring Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad and Yoshi will be available from 19th March until 29th April, Nintendo UK revealed today. Several of the toys will be interactive, including Mario's Hovering Coin, the Donkey Kong Barrel Projector, a Super Sound Mushroom and Mario's Warp Pipe Embosser. There's a healthy message behind the range, too - a "Run, Jump and Power-Up with Super Mario" promotion that will encourage children to be active as well as eat fries. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently announced a new push to be more open in licensing the company's characters in order to maximise their exposure.

The seemingly innocent McCafe cup features a pair of white mittens touching their tips with the message "Warmest Greetings" written on them and a background with snowflakes, stars and hearts. Ziya Tong, co-host of the Discovery Canada show Daily Planet, showed how the cup design quickly turns wrong when she tweeted a picture of a cup that had been slightly altered with a pen to make the mitten thumbs into hands -- making the rest of the mittens look like human gluteals. "Um... @McDonalds methinks you need help with your graphics," Tong tweeted. The photo quickly went viral with thousands of retweets.
Oblivious mom pays $250 for replica of Squidward's painting from 'Spongebob' Ohio mom closes living room until Thanksgiving Cubs tweet 'super official' excuse note for fans skipping work for World SeriesI think I know why my kid likes McDonald’s so much. The one near our house has a playground and all that. It’s nice enough, I guess. And they have Happy Meals, but she can eat chicken nuggets at home; the ones we buy actually taste better. She doesn’t care much for French fries… We had occasion to eat there about a month ago; it has probably been years since I ate at McDonald’s prior to that. Unless we were on a road trip or something. But when I mentioned that we were going there today, she got very excited. She’s almost four years old now; certain things have that effect on her. Hello Kitty is one; going to her little friend Noveli’s house is another. I wondered why McDonald’s made the cut. So we got there and we ordered, and we went outside to the play area to eat.
Savvy enthusiastically picked a table and I placed our stuff on it – our food, my computer and her iPad. But with all the playground stuff for her to climb on, slide down, and crawl through, the iPad would go unused. I sat down next to her at the bright blue table, as she smiled from ear to ear. I ate my fish sandwich – she cheerfully ate her chicken nuggets; that alone was pretty remarkable for The World’s Slowest Eater. Curiosity eventually got to me, though, so midway through lunch, I turned to her and asked. “What do you like best about McDonald’s?” “Is it because I sit right next to you and we eat at the same time?” She smiled and nodded, her mouth full with a chicken nugget bite.“Is it because when we eat here, we just order and then sit down together, and we both eat at the same time, but at home we usually feed you dinner first and then Mommy and I eat later? So you don’t really eat dinner with us very often?” She nodded again, still smiling and chewing.
That was a pretty good answer, I thought, and something for me to think about. She isn’t a baby anymore; maybe we needed to try to make a better effort to eat together, at the same time, and – Savvy had said something, but I missed it. “What did you say, sweetie?” She pointed to her Happy Meal. It comes with a toy. This week it’s a round Mr Peabody and Sherman maze. Last time it was a Lego movie cup. But the point was taken. Yeah, the McDonald’s near our house is okay. It has a playground with climbing things, and chicken nuggets, and French fries, and sometimes she gets to have ice cream. That’s pretty good, all in all. I don’t think that’s why she likes McDonald’s so much, though. Even though she mentioned the toy in the Happy Meal, that didn’t matter. I knew what she really meant.

The well-recognized “chasing arrows” symbol we see on plastic containers and products does not mean the product is recyclable. The little number inside the triangle tells the real story. Within each chasing arrows triangle, there is a number which ranges from one to seven. The purpose of the number is to identify the type of plastic used for the product, and not all plastics are recyclable or even reusable. There are numerous plastic-based products that cannot break down and cannot be recycled. Understanding the seven plastic codes will make it easier to choose plastics and to know which plastics to recycle. For example, water bottles that display a three or a five cannot be recycled in most jurisdictions in the US. A three indicates that the water bottle has been made from polyvinyl chloride, a five means that it’s been made of polypropylene, two materials that are not accepted by most public recycling centers. Here are the seven standard classifications for plastics, and the recycling and reuse information for each type:
PET is one of the most commonly used plastics in consumer products, and is found in most water and pop bottles, and some packaging. It is intended for single use applications; repeated use increases the risk of leaching and bacterial growth. PET plastic is difficult to decontaminate, and proper cleaning requires harmful chemicals. Polyethylene terephthalates may leach carcinogens. PET plastic is recyclable and about 25% of PET bottles in the US today are recycled. The plastic is crushed and then shredded into small flakes which are then reprocessed to make new PET bottles, or spun into polyester fiber. This recycled fiber is used to make textiles such as fleece garments, carpets, stuffing for pillows and life jackets, and similar products. Products made of #1 (PET) plastic should be recycled but not reused. HDPE plastic is the stiff plastic used to make milk jugs, detergent and oil bottles, toys, and some plastic bags. HDPE is the most commonly recycled plastic and is considered one of the safest forms of plastic.
It is a relatively simple and cost-effective process to recycle HDPE plastic for secondary use. HDPE plastic is very hard-wearing and does not break down under exposure to sunlight or extremes of heating or freezing. For this reason, HDPE is used to make picnic tables, plastic lumber, waste bins, park benches, bed liners for trucks and other products which require durability and weather-resistance. Products made of HDPE are reusable and recyclable. PVC is a soft, flexible plastic used to make clear plastic food wrapping, cooking oil bottles, teething rings, children’s and pets’ toys, and blister packaging for myriad consumer products. It is commonly used as the sheathing material for computer cables, and to make plastic pipes and parts for plumbing. Because PVC is relatively impervious to sunlight and weather, it is used to make window frames, garden hoses, arbors, raised beds and trellises. PVC is dubbed the “poison plastic” because it contains numerous toxins which it can leach throughout its entire life cycle.
Almost all products using PVC require virgin material for their construction; less than 1% of PVC material is recycled. Products made using PVC plastic are not recyclable. While some PCV products can be repurposed, PVC products should not be reused for applications with food or for children’s use. LDPE is often found in shrink wraps, dry cleaner garment bags, squeezable bottles, and the type of plastic bags used to package bread. The plastic grocery bags used in most stores today are made using LDPE plastic. Some clothing and furniture also uses this type of plastic. LDPE is considered less toxic than other plastics, and relatively safe for use. It is not commonly recycled, however, although this is changing in many communities today as more recycling programs gear up to handle this material. When recycled, LDPE plastic is used for plastic lumber, landscaping boards, garbage can liners and floor tiles. Products made using recycled LDPE are not as hard or rigid as those made using recycled HDPE plastic.
Products made using LDPE plastic are reusable, but not always recyclable. You need to check with your local collection service to see if they are accepting LDPE plastic items for recycling. Polypropylene plastic is tough and lightweight, and has excellent heat-resistance qualities. It serves as a barrier against moisture, grease and chemicals. When you try to open the thin plastic liner in a cereal box, it is polypropylene. This keeps your cereal dry and fresh. PP is also commonly used for disposable diapers, pails, plastic bottle tops, margarine and yogurt containers, potato chip bags, straws, packing tape and rope. Polypropylene is recyclable through some curbside recycling programs, but only about 3% of PP products are currently being recycled in the US. Recycled PP is used to make landscaping border stripping, battery cases, brooms, bins and trays. However, #5 plastic is today becoming more accepted by recyclers. PP is considered safe for reuse. To recycle products made from PP, check with your local curbside program to see if they are now accepting this material.
Polystyrene is an inexpensive, lightweight and easily-formed plastic with a wide variety of uses. It is most often used to make disposable styrofoam drinking cups, take-out “clamshell” food containers, egg cartons, plastic picnic cutlery, foam packaging and those ubiquitous “peanut” foam chips used to fill shipping boxes to protect the contents. Polystyrene is also widely used to make rigid foam insulation and underlay sheeting for laminate flooring used in home construction. Because polystyrene is structurally weak and ultra-lightweight, it breaks up easily and is dispersed readily throughout the natural environment. Beaches all over the world have bits of polystyrene lapping at the shores, and an untold number of marine species have ingested this plastic with immeasurable consequences to their health. Polystyrene may leach styrene, a possible human carcinogen, into food products (especially when heated in a microwave). Chemicals present in polystyrene have been linked with human health and reproductive system dysfunction.
Recycling is not widely available for polystyrene products. Most curbside collection services will not accept polystyrene, which is why this material accounts for about 35% of US landfill material. While the technology for recycling polystyrene is available, the market for recycling is small. Awareness among consumers has grown, however, and polystyrene is being reused more often. While it is difficult to find a recycler for PS, some businesses like Mailboxes Etc. which provide shipping services are happy to receive foam packing chips for reuse. Polystyrene should be avoided where possible. The #7 category was designed as a catch-all for polycarbonate (PC) and “other” plastics, so reuse and recycling protocols are not standardized within this category. Of primary concern with #7 plastics, however, is the potential for chemical leaching into food or drink products packaged in polycarbonate containers made using BPA (Bisphenol A). BPA is a xenoestrogen, a known endocrine disruptor.
Number 7 plastics are used to make baby bottles, sippy cups, water cooler bottles and car parts. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastic food containers often marked on the bottom with the letters “PC” by the recycling label #7. Some polycarbonate water bottles are marketed as ‘non-leaching’ for minimizing plastic taste or odor, however there is still a possibility that trace amounts of BPA will migrate from these containers, particularly if used to heat liquids. A new generation of compostable plastics, made from bio-based polymers like corn starch, is being developed to replace polycarbonates. These are also included in category #7, which can be confusing to the consumer. These compostable plastics have the initials “PLA” on the bottom near the recycling symbol. Some may also say “Compostable.” #7 plastics are not for reuse, unless they have the PLA compostable coding. When possible it is best to avoid #7 plastics, especially for children’s food. Plastics with the recycling labels #1, #2 and #4 on the bottom are safer choices and do not contain BPA.
