So I would double check the handle before using it....

I'm glad we still have ours from the LP birthday meet at Hollywood & Dine with the special friends autographs.. =) The string looks kind of weak.. is that what you are saying broke Darkbeer or another part of the box?? (wondering if they could have come up with a better handle that didn't infringe on the golden arch's 'happy meal' design..)

Originally Posted By stagemomx3 I don't think people were aware that you could order the meal without the box. I know we weren't and ended up throwing away three of the plastic boxes, because we didn't want to carry them around all day.

Burger Invasion might be the name of the McDonalds in PP. It was cute. I kept it for some reason.
Originally Posted By stampinshock When you only order 1 or 2 kid meals per visit, it's easy to keep the boxes for crayons.

Why isn't that posted somewhere in the park???
