no, it doesn't come with a dessert. i think they came with
some abominable cookies for a couple years, but they currently
come with a burger, small fries or apple dippers, a drink
(water, milk or pop) & a cheap toy.
i forget what is in the Big Kids Meal (i avoid McD's if at
all possible), but i was really disgusted by a mother of
preschool friend of Boo's who insisted a regular kid meal was
too little food for her 3 year old & he *had* to get a big kid
meal (this at a birthday party, so the birthday boy's parents
had to pay extra for the brat). he was/is overweight, along
with the rest of the family.
my 7.5 year old weighs less than 50 pounds. that now 4 year
old weighs at least 70.
