McDonald's invites American families to pick which new "American Idol" Happy Meal toy will become America’s favorite Happy Meal superstar. Inspired by one of the nation's most popular television shows, the new "American Idol" Happy Meal provides young guests with one of eight musical toys, each representing a favorite music genre, available with the purchase of a Happy Meal at participating McDonald's restaurants, while supplies last.

From today through May 8, McDonald's customers can visit www.happymeal.com to choose their favorite new "American Idol"-inspired Happy Meal toy. Both fun and hip, the McDonald's new Happy Meal toy collection showcases various music personalities. Each toy plays a tune within the genre of the music their character represents: groove to disco songs with Disco Dave, line dance with Country Clay, rock out with Rockin' Riley or vibe to the beat with Lil' Hip Hop. Make a melody with Hippie Harmony, sing along with New Wave Nigel, jam with Soulful Selma or kick it with Punky Pete! America’s favorite "American Idol" Happy Meal toy will be announced during the week of May 5 at www.happymeal.com.
