In 1979, McDonalds rolled out the first Happy Meal in the United States, and forever linked unhealthy fast food to cheap plastic trinkets. Packaging a toy with a meal turned a visit to Mickey D's into a chance to get a new piece of swag, and kids competed to collect every toy in a set. Unfortunately, some of those toys straight up sucked. Here's a gallery of some of the most outrageous kids meal toys ever made.
Outrageous Kids Meal Toys
The best part about getting a fast food kids meal is taking home a toy, but these pack-ins are the opposite of collectible. Check out this assortment of outrageous kids meal toys that take the "happy" out of Happy Meals.

We like to think of crappy fast food and the attendant toys as a very American thing, but people all over the world eat garbage and feed it to their kids. Sometimes, their toys are just as messed up as ours. Take the sheet of temporary tattoos given to young Swedish boy Eddie Hagglund with his kids meal from local chain Frasses. Pretty cool, right? Well, except for the freaking Swastika. Yes indeed, the Chinese company hired to make the giveaways didn't see anything wrong with affixing the symbol of the Nazi Party to the youth of Sweden, and nobody bothered to actually look at what they were giving away.
