PRESS RELEASE:
World's Largest Auto Maker and World's Largest Restaurant Chain Team Up for a "HUMMER ® of a Summer"
McDonald's® Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals to Feature HUMMER - August 4 through August 31, 2006
DETROIT – It's time to rev up the fun as HUMMER rolls into McDonald's for a pint-sized promotion. Beginning August 4 – August 31, 2006, young guests will receive one of eight powerful, fun-fueled miniature HUMMER vehicles, with the purchase of a Happy Meal ® or Mighty Kids Meal ®, at participating McDonald's restaurants, while supplies last.
Always ready for adventure, HUMMER's iconic vehicle design and unparalleled off-road capabilities spark the imagination of children nationwide. McDonald's Happy Meal and Mighty Kids Meal HUMMER line-up features eight dynamic vehicles, capturing the power, excitement and unique styling that make HUMMER one of the most recognizable vehicles on (and off) the road.
The Metallic Sand H1 is a free wheeling vehicle with a retractable winch – pull out the winch to watch it retract. Rev the Red Flame H1 SUV or the Black H3T forward to send them powering ahead, or pull back the Midnight Blue H3 X to watch it steer forward slowly and then pick up speed. The Desert Orange H3 SUV and Slate Blue Metallic H2 SUT feature wind up spare tires and are ready to off-road with a special switch to guide them forward, left or right. The Yellow H2 SUV charges forward when pulled back, and the Laser Blue H2H offers a truly enlightening ride – push the vehicle along to see the hydrogen tank flash green. For added fun, guests can customize their H2H with custom-applied "Hydrogen" stickers. This dynamic collection captures the power, excitement and unique styling that make HUMMER one of the most recognizable vehicles on (and off) the road.
McDonald's guests have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of food choices with their Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals including Apple Dippers (fresh, peeled apple slices) served with low-fat caramel dipping sauce, and beverage choices including 100% pure Minute Maid apple juice and low-fat white and chocolate Milk Jugs, served in easy to handle containers.

Maybe I just don't understand the meaning of that car in USA's culture, but isn't it the same as selling Disney's toy cars or whatever other trademark? Excuse my ignorance for I am a humble Spaniard

I guess what disturbs me is that a company that's harmful for people's health is teaming up with a company that's harmful for the environment. I see it as symbolic of everything that's wrong with America.

Yea its a fucking car.
They sold hotwheels with their meals before, im sure some of those were SUV's/Gas Consuming Muscle Cars.
They also sold barbie ones, im sure at least one of which was skimpily dressed. Does this imply Mcdonalds promotes youth prostitution
Im sure theyve sold other possibly offensive shit before... who cares.
Its Mcdonalds, their not in it for the gas companies, the car companies etc. Hummers are popular with children, particularly inner city kids who watch all the rap videos etc. Im s ure they are just both trying to capitalize on each others names... Yes its a sign of the times, no its not THAT outwardly shocking or surprising.

Didn't think of that one. However I must point out in the defense of McDonald's that, and I quote:
Quote:

I mean, they SURE care about the kids that can't handle a glass. Don't you feel they have the right to drink their beverage of choice too on EASY TO HANDLE containers? 
I also quote:

Dude, these CARS are ALWAYS ready for adventure!! How awesome is that? And it also sparks the children's imagination!! How could you not like that?
I just think you're a faggot.

guys guys, its simple to see it's a marketing venture... Theyre realizing, hey why sell toys that crap, pop and fizzle when they can market through their toys therefor reducing the price of the toy cost and making more profit.
-------------------- I went to st thomas and camped out ontop of the island... Despite my entire family being poor all my life, the land is priceless. I was chased by haitians in the main city charlotte amalie when my girlfriend and I got some cocaine for free in a bar and mixed it with alcohol, to form a stronger drug. With such confidence at 2am, we walked the 4-5 or so miles down to the beach where the african slaves lie like lions waiting on tourist prey. The war isen't on drugs... the war is on the causes that influence people to abuse drugs. drug-abuse is a by-product of the system and much like radioactive waste occurs from utilizing nuclear power, drug addicts with drug-problems will need to be properly disposed of, like the decaying radioactive waste produced from nuclear energy. -i2ancid
