Yes! That’s exactly how I felt. It kind of just blended into a few other movies at the time and nothing in the trailers made me think “I need to see this.”

Definitely worth the watch though!

Happy Meals are one of the free items you can get with points on the app, so I get them all the time. I’m 31.

Now, I usually just say no to the toy lol, but you do you! I know I won’t play with it, so it’s better given to someone else. If it brings you any kind of joy, keep doing it. Who cares what others think.

Treasure Hunts are awesome and we really should do them more.

My parents never did it for a birthday, but they did do it for Halloween in 2001 after 9/11. They succumbed to the “someone is going to poison my child’s candy” fear and wouldn’t let us trick-or-treat that year, so instead they did a treasure hunt for us, with our candy hidden at the end. Each clue lead to one of the magnetic letters we had around the house and once we had them all it spelled the location of the candy, which ended up being the sandbox. We actually had to dig our candy out of the sand like real treasure! Hahaha. (Don’t worry, mom put it in ziploc bags first!).

As much as their reasoning might’ve been a little strange, the treasure hunt was incredibly fun and despite missing trick or treating, we all honestly felt we had a lot more fun doing that. My parents hid stuff outside, we had to walk down the road to visit our grandma for clues, and overall they just did a really good job.

Any event can be made into a treasure hunt!

I had a guy at one of my old jobs who played scratch offs constantly, but he also won constantly. Biggest win was only $7,000 he said, but he won $1,000 twice in the three years I worked there.

For some random people, it oddly seems worth it.
