McDonald's is the world's largest toy distributor

 


Yes, McDonald's is the world's largest toy distributor. The fast food chain distributes 1.5 billion toys each year, which is more than Hasbro and Mattel. About 20% of all McDonald's sales include a toy. The toys are given out with each Happy Meal, which has been sold since 1979.

McDonald's has removed hard plastic toys from the Happy Meal. As of January 2021, the Happy Meal includes soft toys, sustainable paper-based toys, and books.
