A Happy Meal Toy Gave Away the One Surprise in Shrek
Even today, Shrek is iconic. With multiple memes, jokes, and quotes still in regular use – it’s easy to say that this modern fairy tale changed the way the internet creates funny content. The movie itself isn’t packed with action or plot twists, but it has a unique ending that makes up for it.
In almost every fairytale, the princess is saved and lives happily ever after. However, in Shrek – she remains an ogre. It could have been more thrilling if it wasn’t for Burger King’s meal toys containing the transformation of princess Fiona from a human to an ogre. So much anticipation was killed with one toy.
