Some customers got a lot more than a toy with their food at a Pittsburgh McDonald's, where an employee was arrested yesterday for allegedly selling heroin in Happy Meal boxes.
Reports say customers looking for drugs would say "I'd like to order a toy," at the drive-thru. Then, after paying, they would receive a Happy Meal box containing heroin.
