McDonald's is rebranding its infamous Happy Meal as just "The Meal" for Mental Health Awareness Week in the United Kingdom, removing the smile from the box to encourage conversation about children's emotions.

The fast food chain shared a commercial on its UK YouTube page featuring children expressing their feelings and sharing how their emotions can be complicated and they are not always happy.
As one child explains about feeling different types of emotions, the girl next to her describes it as a "mood salad." McDonald's wants to spread the message that it is fine to not feel happy all the time. As one boy says in the commercial, we should "never be ashamed of being sad or crying."

Instead of the yellow smile, the box contains stickers of different types of mouths: a confused squiggle, a slanted line, a slight frown and even the traditional smile, along with others.

I don’t use a happy meal to have conversations about children’s emotions. I get them for my kids to eat and have a toy to play with. Wtf

This is bizarre to say the least. They couldn’t think of anything better?

I thought this was worldwide for some reason.

Wouldn’t the positive image of the smiling box be a good thing? To me, it holds food but if you’re gonna go the emotional route wouldn’t a smiling box be what you want.

Not all of humanity. Just "Progressives" and/or Leftist. They want to force the happy segment of humanity to live with the same feelings of self-loathing and general miserableness they live with.

Anyone else wonder why McDonald's now looks like a indistinct gray dungeon? I mean wtf... when I was a kid it was an awesome colorful place and now it literally looks like a prison cell.

I thought it was called the "Happy Meal" because it makes kids happy to get a tasty (well, in the past) meal and a little prize for them to play with for a few minutes. I thought the Happy Meal was to make kids forget they weren't always happy for a little while.
Now I guess they're supposed to be angry and depressed progressives all the time like their parents.

That was my understanding as well.
