Burger King Kids Meals Are Burger King’s Version of the Happy Meal

The Happy Meal is so iconic that the term is often used to refer to just about any kid’s menu at a fast-food restaurant. However, each fast-food chain offers its own signature kid’s meal specials, including Burger King.

Burger King has a menu of kid’s meals called King Jr. Meals. There are 4 meals to choose from, modeled after the Happy Meal. The Burger King kid’s meals include a Hamburger and Cheeseburger Jr. King Meal and a 4-piece and 6-piece Chicken Nuggets Jr. King Meal. Each kid’s meal at Burger King comes with a side, drink, and toy.

We all know that the toy in a fast-food kid’s meal is probably the most exciting part for any child.

The Happy Meal cemented the popularity of collectible toys served with kid’s menu items, and it’s no surprise that Burger King quickly followed their lead.

Each month, Burger King releases a new promotional toy collection included in every purchase of a kid’s meal.

At some participating Burger King restaurants, the toy can be purchased without a meal.

Burger King has featured toys inspired by Nintendo, Star Wars, the Simpsons, Scooby-Do, and SpongeBob, just to name a few.
