Here's another very early commercial for the Happy Meal at McDonald's. (second or third, possibly? In any case, we previously were the first to unearth the very first Happy Meal commercial as seen here: youtu.be/9qAfN_5ZIbM)
The original Happy Meal included a hamburger or cheeseburger, regular size fries, regular size soft drink and a McDonaldland "cookie sampler". All in a fun box with games, jokes and a prize. (6 different ones)
At participating McDonald's. While supplies last.
"Mine too!"
This aired on local Dallas/Fort Worth TV on Tuesday, August 7th 1979 at about 11:00am.
