Angie Norwood-Pearson said: "Absolutely devastating. [...] I won’t sleep at night knowing I won't get an adult happy meal." Damo Pritt said: "That doesn't make me HAPPY at all."
Danny Robinson said: "We're getting the miserable Karen meal." Ian Duerdin laughed: "Don't tell Jamie Oliver."
Francesca Marston suggested: "They should offer a smaller meal option for adults like a happy meal size though, not everybody can eat a full meal - elderly people or ones without a big appetite probably feel full up on a happy meal."
Diane Bracegirdle said: "I'd still buy the kids one for myself I've been having them for donkeys years." Cathie Leather commented "Happy meals aren't just for kids, it says "happy meal."
