Biggest in terms of
1. units sold
2. revenue generated
Toy's are us may have big stores but how many of them do they have?
And can you name a street in a major town that doesn't have a queue of people lining up right now to fill their faces with a large helping of salt and fat courtesy of the clown?

Do the sums then........
There are currently 64 Toysrus stores in the UK
There are currently more than 1,000 McDonald's restaurants throughout the UK.
More than 2.5 million people in this country place an order at McDonald's every day.

OK, so lets asume that 25% of those 2.5 million order a happy meal and recieve their free toy. Thats 625,000 toys, being sold for £0.
So McD's have earned £0 * 625,000 = £0 revenue
Let's also assume that Toys R Us sell one toy each from their 64 stores at £1 each. Thats £1 * 64 = £64 revenue
So, assuming my figures for Toys R Us are a little low, they still earn more revenue than McD's do from their FREE toys.

so you really think that the food content of a happy meal is worth the money they charge for it?
Or do you perhaps think that the food is worth about a pound and the rest is for the toy?
