Seven Year-Old Girl Gets Condom With Her Happy Meal

It may be called a Happy Meal, but a seven-year-old girl whose free toy in her McDonald's meal turned out to be a condom would probably not get a lot of fun out of it.

Suzanne and Rowan Hatch in New Zealand discovered the condom in their granddaughter's Happy Meal.

Rowan said his wife looked in the small sports bag which came with the meal and was shocked to find a green Durex condom and its packet.

"I was pretty horrified really, the fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing. It would be difficult to explain, she's only seven", he said.

A McDonald's spokeswoman said because of the popularity of the previous Happy Meal gift which had sold out at that outlet, pre-packaged sports bags were substituted as children's gifts. But one was left unsealed for display purposes and "somehow" it had ended up with the customer.

"It sounds like... someone has actually come along and thought they were potentially clever or funny - of which they were neither - and put this in", she said.

Staff at the McDonald's swapped the meal for a hamburger and a pencil case.
