Hey, would you like to try one of our new adult burgers? Oh, no. I would just like the kids meal, please. Do you have kids? No, but one day I will. And that's why I'm eating kids meals from the top fast food restaurants to find the best one. Starting with the king of kids meals, the happy meal. Yes. And they stole the box with the arches. That's so iconic. There we go. Yes, you are. Dude, I know that there are some kids that are like this.

Like, there are some real kids that are like this. I open it like that all the time. Look how tiny the fries. Okay, I swear they were not always this small. Uh, we have the McNugget Happy Meal. And then we have the hamburger Happy Meal. The Mc Burger. Or is it cheese? I don't know. Is it a hamburger or is it a cheeseburger? This is hamburger. Let me see. Let's inspect for cheese. Oh, there's no cheese. Wait. So, wait. This is a kids meal. There's a pickle. Cheers, guys. Cheers. It's my burger. Just cheers me. Oh, sorry. Wait.

What is this? Because there's only one pickle. I didn't even get it in my bite. Oh my pickle. Uh, okay. Burger's fantastic. Yeah. Burger is great. We all come to McDonald's, even as an adult. This the crunch. It's so good. I'm loving it. What it feels like they did is they made the fries smaller so they could also include the apple slices. Smell that. Oh. Oh, now smell it. You're Oh, you're okay. That was on the That was a dirty Oh, that's actually good. Oh, it's crunchy and moist.

Why am I lowkey vibing with these? You don't want it? There we go. We fed the cameraman. Okay, guys. We're making YouTube videos. Feed your cameraman. Yeah, I have to. I'm about to get really hangry. Yeah. And then he starts cutting the video randomly. No, no, no, no, no. We're back. Did you cut the camera? He cut the camera. Is this one piece? What is the change of this? They had their own milk jug.

Now we're going to more places. Wait, we are. Should we go see what uh what toys? All right. Come on. You want the red one? Okay. No, I want the blue jersey. Did we get the cross toy that we wanted? Oh. Oh, no. Mine's orange. Wait, that's also number three. It looks like a shoe box, too. It's like a You're literally unboxing. Stickers. We got stickers. Oh, wait. That's sick. You can go sport mode. I need an adult version of this.

It's time to put McDonald's on the list. This is easy. We have all the way from S to F. And there's only one place that McDonald's belongs. Oh, it's easy. S it. Why are you going so far down? Oh, wait. I know where it's going. Come on. Oh, it's so good. It's the best. Now we're at Burger King, the home of the Whopper. This is like the arch rival of McDonald's. How do the kids meals stack up against the Happy? I think McDonald's might lose. You think McDonald's might lose?

Burger King's good and it's fresh patties. There's only one way to figure that out. We have to go in. Oh jeez. Oh god. Baby Jerry, are you okay? We'll explain later. Go. What are the uh the kids meals here? We have the cheeseburger, we have the hamburger, we have nuggets, a four piece, and a six piece. Could we get one of the cheeseburger and then one of the six piece, please? Thank you so much. I was going to say Burger King was going to be a B or C, but we walked in and got the treatment. The whole treatment. I mean, literally, we had got the royal treatment. That lady was amazing. She gave us crowns.

She put the crowns on us. She put the crown on a baby doll. But now we need to see how does the kids meal taste. Look at how much bigger the French fries are in the kids meal. Take a little bite. Hot and fresh. Wo. What's that? That's good. Okay. Ready? McDonald's fries still a little better, but these are really good. Better than I remember. They need a little bit more salt. So, okay. I've never had Take one. I've never had Burger King nuggets. Honestly, they do kind of look like a McNugget. Wait, they didn't ask for dipping sauce.

M. Wo. It's better seasoned. I would agree. Yeah, the flavor. Oh my gosh. I'm going to flavor town, bro. This is honestly pretty good. We need a change of scenery. Much better. Oh, there's a play set behind us. I thought these went extinct. We didn't have a cheeseburger option at McDonald's, but we had an option at Burger King. That's why they say add it either way. And we will love the sesame bun. Look at all that cheese. Sesame bun. Look at all that sauce. Two pickles. There's two pickles and way more sauce. That's like twice the value of what we got at McDonald's. Oh my bro. You eat got a pickle.

Oh my god. Wait, we didn't. Bro, wait. Port is an in order. That is delicious. That destroys. Oh my. That destroys the McDonald's hamburger. I didn't expect this. The chocolate milk actually looks Burger King branded. It even says King Jr. on it. It's Why are you drinking it like that? It's more fun. Dude, being a Guinness is awesome. All right, try some. Tell me that's not actually so good. It's so good.

Yeah, it's good. That's like top three chalk chalky milky so far. I mean, I think that McDonald's has only won on the fries. That's it. Yeah, I honestly think that we tied with nuggets. Burger, no competition. It comes down to the toy. I'm nervous. It kind of comes down to the toy. McDonald's has been notorious for their toys. Come on, dude. Okay. Could Burger King be pulling an S? I don't know. Drop the toy.

3 2 1. Oh my. We are advertising the kids meals for King Juniors. And then we are getting my little I mean, you know, people are into different things. Dude, if I'm a little boy and I'm like, "Oh my god, got my King Jr. meal. I can't wait to see what I got. My way home." Okay, stop the count. There's a little pink tail. The quality of the toys at McDonald's is Oh, yeah. Wait, your kid might chew on hollow. McDonald's obviously is amazing. Happy Meals. Yep. Iconic. Mhm. The thing is, it's about the toys. The food matters, but the toys are critical for having a high score and for me deciding if I would

take my future child here. So, with that, I'm going to have to be giving Burger King. No. Oh, I just It's an A. So close. If the toy was good, it would be an S. It would dethrone McDonald's. I would have swapped them. No. See, the food was better. Burger King. We're going to have a private talk. Excuse us. One second. One sec. Are you kidding me, dude? Like, that's not the right rating. You Listen. Listen, Jerry, don't worry. We just made it to Sonic. I have never had a kids meal at Sonic.

Okay, so Sonic has amazing drinks. They're called the Wacky Packs. Wait, that's what the kids menu? Yeah. Look at this. What the heck is a groovy fry? Look at this. Down on it. They also have milk jugs. Wait. It's a wacky pack and it says fun toy included. I wonder what toy. Could I please have three kids meals, bro? Actually, the fact that they got corn dogs is sick. I know. I was like, yes. That's what I like. Corn dog sounds awesome. Wait, does she stick? Wait, Velcro. She sticks. What? She's velcro.

Yes. The food's coming. It's here. Wait. Oh, crowns up. Crown's up. Crowns up. Thank you so much. It's bigger than the baby. Do you think Sonic has the best kids meal? All right, we have three different sides here. We got the tots. We got the groovy fries. Groovy. And we got the treat top applesauce. Treat. That's not go-go. Let's start with the tot. Oh, I love tater tots. Dang, this looking crispy.

Best side. Too different from that. M. That's so good. No, they are delirious, but they're not very hot. That's I mean it wasn't piping hot, but it was warm. Now we got to look at the fries. Oh, dude. Okay, Fire Nation, be honest. I think crinkle cut fries are the best fry shape. I love crinkle cuts. Fry it up. Oh, they're more crunch than I thought. They're good. It's mid. It's warm again. It's lukewarm. It's not very hot. Not fresh. Wo. Wait. Three top applesauce.

Get out of it. That's not go-go squeeze. And I don't really like it. We're getting let down a little bit. I think the lady of the Sonic was a little correct. We got to start with the classic, dude. A little corny dog. Look at this. The corn dog. Oh, wait. You know how I eat corn dogs? I eat the skin off first and then I eat the wiener. You guys don't have no way you actually wait. Did you eat the corn then the wiener? Yeah. No. I did that all the time growing up. So you're like the guy that eats the cupcake icing and then the cupcake. You ate glue as a kid. 100%. That's glue eater behavior. Just mustard for the first bite.

Yeah. Oh. Never mind. I'm giving him half my dog. Oh my god. That's a good dog. That is amazing. It's the most unique thing we've eaten all day. Try it. You're giving me the stick. Here we go. OH, YO, BRO. YO, WAIT. DON'T WASTE the good part, though. Please, if you love ranch, you must like this video. We need to know how much of you are real individual versus AI. Or if you don't like ranch, you have to unsubscribe cuz AI can't. Who said that? Gary. Someone already took a bite out of that. Someone took a bite. I think that lady took a bite out of that.

Did you take a bite out of that? No, I didn't. Wait. So, 100% took a look. Okay. It kind of looks like a bite. Okay. It feels good. Big dipper. 3 2 1. Like, you know when your dad or your mom just says, "I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed." That's what it felt like. I will say though, Sonic has the most underrated burgers in all of fast food, and I will die in that hill. I don't know about that, but do they taste good? All right, you take your first bite.

All three boys. Three must get here. There's no way we're fitting that. Oh, we can do All right. I only got bread cuz I don't want to eat your lips. Not good. You know, that's not the best. Look, we're we're respectful in this car. All right. We uh we did not swallow. Like the toys here have got to be crazy from Sonic. Otherwise, they are getting It's not looking good. They're looking like a D. Okay, let's see. We're going to all three pull the kids toy at the same time. Ready for the fun toy that could save or kill Sonic on our tier list?

DUDE, that's actually terrifying. Like that's actually terrifying. Dude, this is no way it's a B. I don't Yeah, it's definitely lower than McDonald's and Burger King, but I think B is a little too good for it. Oh, that's what I'm saying. Like it's nowhere near a B. Like this might be We know. Let's say it out loud.

It has to be the same rating. Okay. All right. We're giving Sonic a 3 2 1 D. Baby Jerry approved. Taco Bell is not where we're going to eat. They don't even have a kids meal, let alone a toy. Stop filming. We're not eating here. We're going home. You want me to raise Hold the board up. No, no, no, no. Hold the board up. Hold the board. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's on the board. We had some Fire Nation members out here in the real world and we want to see what they think about our rating so far. But you guys think a solid list though, except for Sonic, though.

I will say curly fried way better than crinkly. No. Rhino, bro. That's actually gas. That's so good.

The thing is like it's so hot. Yes. Right. Like Sonic was not hot. Ooh. Oh, they look like little mini triangles, right? But it looks like a mini triangle, but it's actually Holy thicks. Look at the thickness. Oh, shoot. That is thick. Dude, I got a thickness and it's called the thickness. Oh, that might be too hot, dude. Oh, it's hot. That is better than the fries. What do they call these? Hash browns. Those potato wedges or something like that. Potato. That is amazing. separate it because it's roast beef and cheese.

No, but like when you go and get fast food and you're getting it from inside the place, eating at the restaurant, it should be like melting your mouth. Wait, where's the good sauce? Wait, they didn't give the good sauce. I'm I'll be honest. Thank you so much. All right. You got the good sauce. We got the good stuff.

Oh, it goes on your rearview mirror.

Oh, the rear. Oh, yeah. Cuz kids have cars. No, it literally says right here, adult use only. keep out of reach of young children. I'm sorry, Preston. I just would I didn't want you to feel like you didn't have a toy. Dude, you know how like if they had a good toy here, this would have been like this would have dethrown McDonald's. The food was amazing. The customer service was also amazing. It's so close between the S and the A. And I'm going to have to unfortunately give this one. It could be an F.

An A. It's getting an A. No. Do you watch the videos? Yeah. What's up, dude? No way, bro. So nice to meet you. Is it good? Sonic is really good. I feel like you should put an eight.

You like a corny dog? Wait, that's really what we called it. We ordered We said, "Give us a corny dog." You also call it corny dog. I respect your decision. Thank you, sir. And thank you for watching the videos. It made its way from a D all the way to an A. Is it going to somehow make it to the S? What if it beats McDonald's? Dude, not at my Chick-fil-A. All right. Wait. Yeah, I have a good feeling. It's Press. What's up, guys?

This is the home of the Are you surprised? Let's go, man. Let's go, dude. Nice to meet you. Yes, of course, man. Carter, super nice to meet you. That's a good sign. Good vibes. All right, so I'm seeing nuggets grilled. Yo, mac and We have not had a mac and cheese.

I would love to get a mac and cheese, sir. Do you think this is going to be better than McDonald's kids meal? Sure. Like taste. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. What about But the taste is up there. But the taste Okay. Ace will not be joining us for the rest of this video because he had to go to the emergency room and when we tried to drive him, this is what he said. Press of God without me is temporary and content taste forever. So instead, my lovely wife, Brianna, will be joining me to eat Chick-fil-A.

Wait, does this have something to do with our future children? Uh, well, yeah. It's like the best kids meal that we rank today is like what we're going to feed our future child. And you chose to not include me in this video. when he's saying it like that. He literally didn't. Can I at least put my magnet on before I get roasted? Literally chase just cuz he's ill now I get to be okay. He might have kidney stones. This is the oddest thing I've ever seen. Thank you. Chick-fil-A is the last hope at dethroning McDonald's as the best kids meal. That's what we're about to find out. We're digging in. Time to go to Chow Town.

I didn't have lunch today. This is perfect. Did you actually not? No, thank I had a lot of food today. Oh, we start with the drinks. Okay, so we're going to start with the drinks. The selection has literally been the same. This is like the third time today that we've had the same Honest Kids organic juice box. It's organic and it's a juice box. I want orange juice. This is a new drink. How is it? Probably tastes like orange juice.

I miss orange juice. It's nostalgia. Uh, by the way, editor, put us in a Chick-fil-A, please, if you already haven't already. Much better. Thank you. Green screen. How does it taste? I don't like chocolate milk. Fantastic. The drinks are good. I'm just happy that we actually have some variety. Yes, we haven't had macaroni and cheese. We've had French fries and French fries. Yeah. Where's the fries? So, we got potato chips instead of French fries.

Let me open this and show you, though. They're They're pretty good. And they look like the fry. See? Look, look, look. It's great. It's Chick-fil-A sauce flavor, which definitely has barbecue sauce in it. I like it. Well, they don't taste very good. I'm going to tell you that right now. This is devastating. They're not bad. They're not devastating. You're being a bit No, they're they're bad. They're If you're going to have like a few hundred calories of something that's worthless, it should be delicious.

My foot. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, she lost that in the war. Chick-fil-A could be making a comeback with this macaroni and cheese. Let's see. Is that a sound bite? I'm not aware of this. It is right now. Ooh. Ooh, this is dank looking. This is something that smells like my mom's basement. So delicious when you've eaten nothing but French fries all day. Amazing. My grandmother was a southern cook, best cook in the world. She made the best mac and cheese and this tastes just like it.

It's very nostalgic to me. Actually forgot to pass that down. Is it better than McDonald's fries? Ooh. What do you think, Bri? That's a tough one. Three, two, one. No, it's not. It's really good, though. It's amazing. But the waffle French fries can rival the McDonald's French fries. What else do we have? Well, now we got to go into some nuggets. OKAY. SO, WE GOT fruit instead of the French fries, but their fruit, I will say, is fresh. And when you get apples from McDonald's, they come in a bag. Oh, I will. Oh, yeah. No, we had their apples. They're like fully naked.

Lots of fast food restaurants have fruit as a side, but they don't have like little clementines or tangerines. They got pers in here. They got strawberries and they got blueberries. I would let our children eat this for sure. I would let myself eat this for sure. Yummy. Best fruit cup of any kids meal today by four. Chick-fil-A nuggets. Hit. Like they in my opinion, in my humble, honest opinion, I'm confident that they are better than McDonald's nuggets. Oh, salty. Not too salty.

This is good. Taste. Homemade. Ooh, the grilled nuggets are good. You got to be like really in the mood to eat these, though. Well, I will say a lot of fast food places you can't really eat healthy easily, but like this is genuinely healthy and you pair it with like the fruit, it's so good. McDonald's be winning on the sides. Chick-fil-A wins with the drinks. McDonald's wins with the sides. Chick-fil-A wins with the entre, which means it comes down to the toys.

Wait, do I get to choose? You do get to choose, but only once we see the toys. Okay. If Chick-fil-A has goated toys, then they could dethrone Macad. Well, we got the same exact one. No way. Are they hitting me with brain play with my kids toy? I'm four years old being told by an elephant. Let's play with your brain. Wait. Oh. Oh, hold on. There's a joke page. Oh, page 14 has a joke. If the jokes are good, this could be saved. Let's see. What kind of tree has hands? A palm tree. I'm going to just No, they tried, bro. They tried and I cried.

HEY, NO, I KNOW. I COULDN'T. Everybody loves a happy meal. That's what everybody's saying. Chick-fil-A could have clutched up if they just had a good toy. But don't worry, there's still one place, one place that might be able to dethrone McDonald's. I know what you guys are thinking. Everything in our list is fast food and Chuck-E-Cheese isn't fast food. But what if life is more about slowing down and not being so fast and taking that time to enjoy yourself with your friends? I don't know what I was thinking. Fire Nation, we're wrapping this video up. There's nothing that's beating McDonald's in the video. Cue the outro Goodbye. on the W next time.
