If you go to McD and buy a Happy Meal, you can get a little plastic Hummer toy.

Me, I'm going to impale the toy upside-down on a stick and fly it like a Native American warrior's scalp trophy from my rear rack.

Then I'd have to actually eat at McDonald's. Way too much sacrifice for me.

Or I could throw the food away or give it to a homeless person. Nah. Too much work.

I actually enjoy McDonald's... about 1x per year.

I should buy it, just so I can set my camera on "movie" mode, and take a video of my folding bike running it over :D

Just can't stand mcd's food. It's about as filling as eating air.
Wendy's on the other hand...yummy...spicy chicken

Oh, the horror! You'll never be a Real A&S brand cycling advocate admitting to such decadent behavior/preferences.

Part Cherokee here as well. Maybe I'll take offense after I drink some more coffee. I was just thinking earlier today that I need some new thing to be upset and politically correct about.

Toy Hummers, though? This almost belongs in Foo... the relation between toy hummers, children and McDonald's-eating cagers mowing down bikers by the dozen is dubious in my opinion. The argument could be made that we are brainwashing the kiddies from an early age into an oil-dependant, self-centered mentality, but this could easily be countered by the argument that by the time these kids are old enough to drive a car, Hummers will no longer exist, SUVs will be very rare due to insane gas prices, Ford and GM will be long gone, and most cars in America will be small or efficient as in Europe. Both arguments seem like a stretch.

OK, on a lark, I went to the McDonalds at El Camino and El Monte in Mountain View. Sure enough, they had the Hummer toys. I was tempted, but didn't.

Outside the McD's was one rad looking Trek 7X00 something bike, and a blue Magna MTB with photo stickers plastered on the frame (the kind you print at photo booths). It was a beautiful morning for biking. Saw three others on my very short commute. So there, take that, evil Hummer overlords.

Who needs the McDonalds toy? Bet the Freeride fellows are already using the real thing as jump ramps.

And to think, they all laughed at Ray Croc, when he said he was going concentrate on marketing to children.

"Hi Boys and Girls. We have a new word for today. Our new word is,,,,Indoctrination! (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006NDCKQ/ref=sr_11_1/102-4175741-1993741?ie=UTF8) Can you say "indoctrination?" I'll bet you can.

By the way kf5nd, I like the way you think. How big are these toys? would it be possible to drill a pilot hole in one, then insert a large wood screw?

You call that a toy? You ain't got no sense at all. Didn't you see the real deal prize McDonald's was giving away? Now this is a toy; a toy that made my meal real happy!

Few threads with "McDonalds", "WalMart", "Hummers" (the car) "SUV drivers", "price of oil", or "We Americans" in the title (or body of the OP) are ever about bicycling.
