​Mum Reckons McDonald’s Minions Toy Is More Than Meets The Eye

A Midlands mum has made a miniature name for herself after posting a Facebook video in which she called a Maccies Happy Meal Minions toy "rude".

Hayley Coope took her own minions, Charlie, Declan and Jake, for a treat McDonald's meal and got a little bit more than she bargained for with the tiny toy - so much so that she decided to put her own review video online for the whole world to see.

Hayley, 26, said: "I thought they were really crap until I realised their tongue came out.

"I thought it was really funny and I looked at my husband and it had us both in stitches. He thought it was really rude as well but in a funny way."

She's more than made a name for herself as the video went viral and has been viewed 11,000 times at the time of writing. The mum from Rugby, Warwickshire wasn't taking her husband's review too seriously.

"My friends have the same sense of humour as me so I knew they would find it just as funny as me," she said.

"Most people have done, it is pretty rude. I've found out they also do a vibrating one. It is cheaper than Ann Summers.

"I think it is hilarious. I posted it online and then just dismissed it and then later I went back on and saw that it had around 11,000 views. I couldn't believe it."

She wasn't too fussed about keeping the vibrating one away from her kids.

Hayley said: "The kids aren't going to know what it means. It is just a bit of entertainment for the parents. If a kid finds it rude then there is something wrong with them."

Other social media users were similarly light-hearted. One said "No licky licky on my page" while a second, the husband of a commenter, wrote that he was "the deluxe edition of the toy". Don't give up the day job, pal.

Hayley took it all in her stride, though. "To be fair most of the toys that come in the happy meals are either rude or creepy as fuck. Last year they had one and it liked like it was a wing."

A McDonald's spokesman said: "Our Happy Meal toys are suitable for children and, in the case of our Minions toys, mimic the expressions of the popular characters," she said.
