Rick & Morty | Happy Meal that Never Was

08.20.2017 – Rick and Morty has become popular with its series currently running for three seasons on Adult Swim.

It has spawned limited merchandise and most recently action figures with build-a-figure for Morty’s mechanized family dog, Snowball.

You’ve got shirts toys, board games and anything Rick and Morty related, but there never were any toys that came out as free for breakfast cereals or even Happy Meal toys that some collectors kept speculating and here’s the truth about this…


First and foremost Rick and Morty are shown on Adult Swim obviously all the content that was shown in this channel ARE NOT FOR KIDS. This has become something of an ignorance for some people who rave about the show for its popularity but has forgotten to draw the line that its actually a cartoon series for adults with all the foul language and explicit content being shown in each episode.

Happy Meal Age Groupies

Some fans have been passionately excited, but there’s a difference between being a fan and an ignorant raving sending McDonald’s a request to make Rick and Morty into a Happy Meal toy what’s wrong with that?

Is this not the obvious that Happy Meal is originally a “Kids Meal” promo for ages 5 and up that some parents try to buy these toys for kids under that range without reading the packaging due to its small content due to choking hazards?

This is not different with having Rick and Morty as a toy premium item in a “Kids Meal” as these characters were created geared towards the adult market. It would be unethical for McDonald’s and Adult Swim to ever produce such a marketing product that would ignore the younger kids for rabid fans for the show



They’ve Ricked you out of This

Probably by now, some fan out there has been bugging every McDonald’s Facebook page or forum group spreading wild rumors about Happy Meal toys featuring Rick and Morty as toy premium items. Maybe they should collect their brains and the floor and read the details first before going about being excited.

There’s was a digitally created image of a Happy Meal that featured the lead characters of Rick and Morty a few days ago on Reddit that was shared by username Goofydos, which was originally created by Matt Dun, a 3D artist who shared his concept on ArtStation that looks convincingly real.

But IT’S NOT REAL, like most passionate fans out there that eat and breathes watching Rick and Morty they won’t stop talking about it, which was greatly exaggerated for those who have not kept their reality in check. It’s great to wish for it but basically, this is just a pipedream that will never happen.

You’re Morty-fied now

For all its worth credit goes to Matt Dunn for making this digital image of a Happy Meal featuring Rick and Morty as the toys that came with it, but honestly, it won’t happen anytime soon as kids meal promos go it still geared for younger children.

Rick and Morty, on the other hand, is not for kids with all the adult content and foul language Rick Sanchez has been spewing in each episode plus other characters doing the things children should not see maybe parents of today should be more responsible than paying attention to what’s trending that should work for their children as there are age-specific content out there that needs to be policed particularly this type cartoon being aired on Adult Swim.
