Full disclosure, I did not eat a Happy Meal today... but I did have one for dinner on Friday night. My usual order when I have a Happy Meal for supper, which is not very often, is: cheeseburger with no patty, small fries, book rather than toy, no yogurt, and chocolate milk for Chris to drink later. I usually do fruit instead of fries if it's earlier in the day.
Anyway, I noticed the box and knew that Astronaut Day was coming up on Monday, so I saved the box for a photo prop instead of recycling it when I was done eating! I don't know why the box is space themed right now-- I doubt it's because of the day, and the current toys are Minecraft Movie themed or something-- but the space box worked out well for me! It's covered in themed art (including a couple of astronauts), games, jokes, and facts.
The space themed facts on the box are:
#1-- A star is a hot ball of gas that glows. Countless stars twinkle in the night sky, but the sun is a star we see during the day!
#2-- A meteor is a space rock that becomes very hot as it enters Earth's atmosphere. We see a "shooting star."
#3-- A black hole is an area of such massive gravity that nothing can escape from it, not even light.
The space jokes are:
#1-- Q: Why did the sun go to school?
A: To get brighter!
#2-- Q: What kind of music do planets sing?
A: Nep-tunes!
