McDonald’s Happy Meals, a children’s meal sold with a concomitant toy, debuted in 1979. However, over the years, critics have argued that offering toys and concomitant gifts with fast food encourages unhealthy eating. As a result, San Francisco banned the sale of unhealthy meals featuring toys or games in 2010, with the goal of meals including gifts for children meeting minimum nutritional standards. Companies found they could skirt this ban by offering the toys for sale at a very low price, rather than having them concomitant to the meal.
