As 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:we previously reported, the Pokemon McDonald's Happy Meal promotion was only a rumor a little over a week ago, and now it's become a full-fledged race to collect 'em all, with adults pulling out all the stops to get their hands on something meant for children.

, not only are people waking up at 5am to try and get a Pokemon Happy Meal - which are only available at select McDonald's - but others are buying them in bulk and throwing out the food because society is broken. As a result, McDonald's are placing restrictions on how many Happy Meals can be purchased and when. Scalpers are already selling the cards individually at huge markup, especially considering a Happy meal will only run you about $3. And since boxes of the cards are  on sale on eBay for between $600 and $1000, it seems there's a bit of a Pokemon Happy Meal black market in t🌜he works, as well. We just can't have nice things, can we?
