4What better way to market your franchise than to give it a fast-food promotion? It's a win-win for you and the fast-food chain. UsefulNotes/McDonalds started the Happy Meal in 1977 as a way for kids to have their own meals, accompanied with a small plastic toy. Soon, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. followed suit.
5
6The toys tend to be gendered, [[UnisexSeriesGenderedMerchandise sometimes even if the franchise is gender neutral]]. Boys get superheroes, race cars, and robots. Girls get princesses, [[AllGirlsLikePonies ponies]], dolls, and makeup. Though when a movie comes out, chains will forgo their gendered toys and make the movie toys for everyone.
7
8Apart from products based on pre-existing franchises, chains also tend to make toys based on their OriginalGeneration characters. One notable example is Advertising/McDonaldland.
9
10Despite the trope name, it's not always a toy. Some chains give out small books or coloring pages. And the franchises featured aren't always kid-friendly. There have been promotions for ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' and more. In 1992, [=McDonald=]'s withdrew their range of Happy Meal toys for ''Film/BatmanReturns'', after complaints from parents that the film was unsuitable for children. This ties in with the AnimationAgeGhetto -- the mindset that if it's animated, it's for kids. Also see MisaimedMerchandising.
11
12On that note, while these toys have a notable PeripheryDemographic of older collectors, some stores will run a variation targeted more towards teenagers and/or adults. Although actual toys may be offered on rare occasions (such as with the [=McDonald=]'s [[https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/mcdonalds-adult-happy-meal/ Cactus Plant Flea Market]] vinyl figures), these promotions are more likely to feature collector-focused items such as cups, cards, stickers and keychains. This type of promotion is fairly prominent in the West for [[ShonenDemographic shonen anime]] at Asia-centric chains, due to its demographic skewing slightly older than in Japan.
13
14While toys in fast food meals were really popular back in the '80s, '90s, and the 2000s, due to assorted factors, including declining sales, concerns and controversy over selling fast food to children, and environmental concerns. As such, the practice has been experiencing a continuing decline as of TheNewTens, with only several of the major fast-food chains ([=McDonald=]'s, Burger King, Wendy's, etc.) continuing the practice to this day, while others have since dropped it altogether. Even many of those that continue it, however, have mostly downplayed their presence to where there's barely much advertising for them anymore (at least, not to the extent it was back in the last few decades).

568A couple of interesting notes about Taco Bell. They started offering kids meals in 1995 and became the first major fast food chain in North America to discontinue kids' meals entirely (along with any associated toy tie-ins) in 2013. Also, in later years they offered two different kids meals, one for toddlers under the age of three and one for kids 3 and up. While the meal for older kids came with the typical assortment of anywhere from 3-5 different toys, the toddler meal usually only had one toy available at any given time that wasn't necessarily always tied to the same promotion as the older kids' meal.

While a rare example of a worldwide Western franchise promotion at an Asian restaurant, it can easily be attributed to Creator/BlizzardEntertainment games being [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff popular in East Asia]] and with East Asian populations in the West as well.

741* One sketch on ''Radio/JohnFinnemoresSouvenirProgramme'' is about a negotiation between representatives of a fast food company and a movie studio, about putting toys based on a certain film into kids' meals. Neither of them have been involved in such a deal before, and both of them are surprised by how smoothly it's going, and how readily the other accepts their terms ... until they realise they ''both'' thought they were the one paying the other (the restaurant is using the film characters to attract customers, but the studio is using the restaurant to advertise the film) and neither of them wants to admit to head office that they went into the negotiations without knowing how they worked.

[[spoiler: [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're part of one of Plankton's evil schemes to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula.]]]]
