[edit] Contradiction

Not strictly a contradiction but both the Poo-Chi and this article suggest that McDonalds produced a Poo-Chi and a iDog Happy Meal toy for a short while. While it's possible they did produce both a Poo-Chi and iDog, it seems more likely to me they only produced one and someone got confused. Or perhaps the toy wasn't actually an iDog or Poo-Chi, simply some sort of robotic dog (which is hardly a novel concept). Either way, it should be sourced or removed in both articles Nil Einne (talk) 19:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I searched ebay, and found a lot of McDonald's Poo-Chi Happy Meal toys. I also found no McDonald's iDog toys. However, I found Burger King iDog toys, so I found a source (BK's financial statement) and changed the article to reflect the BK promotion. I'm bothered, though, that there's a photo from someone claiming the fast food iDog was from a McDonald's in Romania, so maybe McDonald's had the European distribution contract? That's speculation, though, and uncited, so it's not in the article. Travisl (talk) 17:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I own one of the McDonald's iDogs and it says "Made for McDonald's 2007" on the back. I will try and track down a reference somehow... (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
