A parent who brought her child some McDonald's food, was left flustered and weirded out after finding this device inside her kid's meal.

McDonald's Happy Meal is one of the fast-food brand's most loved items. These meal boxes are targeted to young children, and it comes with surprise Happy Meal toys inside. Unfortunately, even though these items are meant for kids, there have been numerous incidents in the past where parents have found truly mind-boggling and unacceptable things inside their Happy Meal boxes.

McDonald's customer find vape inside their child's food box

TikToker @tonya_michelle2022 uploaded a series of three videos on TikTok which documents their family's ordeal dealing with McDonald's after making a shocking find. The Happy Meal she purchased for her daughter contained a fully intact vape along with chicken nuggets.

A vape is a device used for inhaling nicotine through vapours produced by the machine. It is used as a popular alternative to cigarettes. This is definitely not something any child of any age should have access to, not to mention, the presence of this tool in the food indicates serious health and food safety violation.
