The Happy Meal Gang are the McDonaldland characters who comprise the McDonald's Happy Meal. They are Hamburger, French Fries, and Soft Drink, later joined with Cookies, and the McNugget Buddies. The lineup slightly changed in 2001: they would be joined by the Happy Meal Box and Toy Bag, the Fries changed from male to female, and they would all be given bow ties as an accessory.
