"These meals are perfect for early Gen Z and late millennials who are looking for a fun but educational meal option," McDonald's chairman Enrique Hernandez Jr. explained. "In addition to a choice of a sandwich or nuggets, fries, and a drink, each Adulting Happy Meal will come with a booklet or toy focused on a teaching about a variety of important adult activities, such as making a budget, managing time effectively, general home maintenance, or the ins and outs of medical insurance."
The current generation of Americans reaching the age traditionally associated with adulthood is achieving milestones like starting a family or owning a home later than ever. Syarah Hines, a part time freelance food blogger for Fast Food Weekly who participated in a focus group that helped design the Adulting Happy Meal, is excited about seeing the final version reach participating McDonald's restaurants. "It was my idea to include the little figures of patients hooked up to life support with the coloring pages about preparing a living will. I still need to figure out how to use a riding lawn mower, but I'm only 30. I've got time."
