Green Happy Meal toy isn't Shrek, it's pot

OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) - An Illinois dad isn't very happy about what he found in his kid's Happy Meal. Now, a 17-year-old McDonald's employee is facing drug charges after police say he hid his stash in a Happy Meal box. Ottawa Police Chief Brian Zeilmann says a man and his three children went to a McDonald's drive-thru to order Happy Meals. Instead of a toy, Zeilmann says one of the children found a lighter, pipe, and bag of pot in her Happy Meal. Her father went to police.

(There were other sites with longer versions of the story, but I couldn't resist the title of this one.)

This is one of those stories that just reminds you no matter how stupid you feel today, there is always someone stupider than you out there.

Sheesh. As if the finger in the chicken nuggets wasn't bad enough.
 
Oh no! You know what I really want to know though... what percentage of parents would be calling the police, and what percentage would be smiling and saying "boy, they gave you the wrong toy... now mommy and daddy will get you a new toy from the toy store and 'get rid' of this toy!"
 
Agreed. Bringing your stash into your workplace is pretty stupid... what ever happened to leaving it in your car, or at least hiding it in your car... or this person could have taken an example from Mike Vick and hidden it in a water bottle with a stash compartment for the love of god.
 
But a bong, a lighter, and the pot?


I mean, what was the guy doing, working the drive through and taking hits between orders? I'm guessing that's how it ended up there- whenever I go to McDonald's, the Happy Meal boxes are always right by the drive-through window, and he probably stuck it there (when you're high, you don't think clearly), thinking no one would find it...
 
Or, you know, you could just not take it to work at all. If you can't wait that long to smoke, maybe you have a problem.

By the way... bong /= pipe. It would be near impossible to hide a bong in a container that small. Even if the bong was small, it would still have water in it. A bong is something you would keep at home, whereas you could take a pipe with you anywhere.
 
How did they fit all that in the little boxes? They must have forgot the actual food or something! Lol
 
And THAT'S where the idiot factor in the story comes in.

Come to think of it, though, I have heard a lot of drive-through workers who SOUND stoned.
 
Indeed, you'd be taking a bowl with you... though I have seen little bongs, but you can't really carry one of those around with you easily either.

I made a picture in honor of this occasion.
 
Oh. There's a difference? Will fix. (I always got the impression they were the same thing.)

And, um, Argy, how exactly do you know this?
 
^lolx2

lol, Japanese Mac Donald's. Well... maybe this is intentionally anyways. Mac Donald's has always been trying to be urban. I guess they just crossed a line this time, and push it on the 17 year old.

I've WORKED with people who got stoned before working the drivethru. It's pretty funny though... especially this one guy would take acid the night before and come into work still seeing things. And then there was a guy who smoked a joint right outside the front door of the store and then left the roach (end of the smoked joint for those who didn't know) in the ash tray outside the store. And don't even get me started about what all people smoked in the dumpster area... fast food joints (no pun intended) are stoner hot spots it seems.
 
So what will Checkers and Wendys do next? Give out free tobacco? :lol:
 
They can't even give me fucking Yugioh Cards, this doesn't surprise me.
 
Tch. The idiocy of smoking (anything, be it pot, cigarettes, cigars, crack, whatever) aside, you really do have to be some kind of moron to smoke something ILLEGAL in a public place. No wonder he was in the fast food industry. It's probably the highest calibur of job he could attain. Don't hurt yourself, numbskull! That fry oil is hot!

Whatever happened to finding a hair extension in your fries or a band-aid in your burger? What's this country coming to? :lol:

Truthfully, I'd RATHER find the pot in my meal then a hair extension or band-aid. Even if I had no intentions to use it, it's still a LOT more sanitary then the other things that you mentioned, and it WASN'T in anyone's food, it was like in the box with the food that was wrapped up.

Idiocy of smoking? But I like Smoked Almonds and Smoked Salmon is <3!!! And what about smoked clams, and smoked beef jerky? I even think that hickory smoked hamburgers are amazing!
