I don’t think I’m American enough to understand what this means.
I believe op is German. I don’t see how that clarifies the joke in any manner.
I think they mean that they got treated to happy meals after a doctor’s visit and teased their fellow schoolchildren with that fact?

It’s a very expensive day out for the parents
Less expensive back in the 80s .
Growing up in Canada, McDonald’s was provided to kids in hospital through the Ronald McDonald House Charities! I have fond memories of getting bloodwork done and being treated to McDonald’s because my parents never took us there…
What does being American have to do with getting special treats while out of school for rare events?
If your special treat is to eat garbage
Yes that’s what most kids actually like. Welcome to the world.
I mean it’s what most people like, not just kids.
I imagine most people that maintain an extreme level of “junk food is cancer” attitude are doing it for medical reasons or social clout. Not because they didn’t like it.
You remembe that Jamie Oliver episode about chicken nuggets?
When I came back to school, I’d keep filling that McDonald’s cup at the water fountain to get maximum mileage out of it. Keep flexing that bad boy until the bottom soaked out.
I see you ingrained the reuse part of reduce-reuse-recycle, nice!
US doctors give McDonalds to children then send them back to school?
And these people make fun of old ads of physicians promoting cigarettes?
You had to go back to school in the same day you had a doctor appointment? That sucks.
Coming back from a field trip and the bus pulls into the Burger King parking lot.
