	Happy Meal - Uncyclopedia
		Happy Meal is a term to used to describe psychoactive food which is created (or marketed, if distributed by fast food chains) for children with the sole purpose of making parents happy.
		Happy meals are widely known as a children's food whenever they come to McDonald's, but the real secret is that good old Ronald McDonald himself drugged the foods so the kids would be addicted and want to return to his crappy chain restaurant.
		Some Happy Meals on the market are considered depressants, such as those containing fruit or vegetables, but can be used as precursors of other potentially psychoactive meals, for example, the cheeseburger Happy Meal which could be eaten without ketchup for a milder sedatory effect prior to drinking a chocolate shake.

		Every time they go there, the cry goes up, “I want a Happy Meal!” Usually John gives in to the pleas of his children and buys each child a “Happy Meal.” And they’re happy...at least for two minutes.
		Ortberg explains: “When you get older, you don’t get any smarter; your Happy Meals just get more expensive.” Our culture bombards us with deceiving messages that our contentment is just a step away — a newer car, a bigger home, more money, maybe even a new spouse.
		The next time you’re in a McDonald’s, let your visit remind you that lasting happiness is not found in a hamburger or anything or anyone else.
