It began as a small box housing a hamburger, French fries with a toy inside and a soda on the side. Thirty years later, the McDonald's Happy Meal has become a fast-food staple that revolutionized the industry.

三十年前,一只小盒子,里面装着汉堡、薯条、苏打水,还有一个玩具:这就是最初的开心乐园餐。如今,它已成为快餐业的标志,并引领了整个行业的革命。

The kids' meal was first introduced nationally in 1979 with a Circus Wagon Train theme and tried to attract younger customers with a McDoodler stencil, puzzle lock, McWrist wallet, ID bracelet, spinning tops and McDonaldl and character erasers as the featured toys.

The meal's toy became the key to its big business and success by changing the way children ordered food.

Most of the toys that make the Happy Meal so popular are made, marketed and tested at an Illinois company called the Marketing Store.
