Pretty Good Idea™

From time to time I have pretty good ideas that I have no outlet for.  Until now. 

Everyone knows that kids in this country are getting fatter every second.  Everyone also knows that kids love the beach.  Why not combine both and kill two birds with one stone?

McDonald's has long had the Happy Meal, now featuring healthy choices like apple slices and low-fat milk.  At one point they also had the McSalad Shaker, which flopped miserably in the early 2000s.  Apparently people thought it was "disgusting."  Mickey D's came so close to hitting the marketing mark with the McSalad Shaker.  It's time to bring it back for kids, who won't get disgusted by goopy dressing sticking to the lid of their container.  Just in time for the summer, I present to you...

The McSalad Bucket.

  
Picture this filled with salad.

It's a beach bucket x salad Happy Meal collaboration!  It's just crazy enough to work.  You manufacture a beach bucket complete with spork utensil included.  The kid finishes his McSalad, gets a healthy meal, then he or she gets a bucket to take to the beach.  And the spork doubles as a spade!  This would be a seasonal offering sold in coastal cities across America.  You can't tell me kids wouldn't have a blast shaking these things up either.  Kids love to shake things wildly.
