Remember your childhood when some of your toys were scary?

Your parents would give you a new toy and when you opened up the box, this scary looking toy came out of the box. You didn't know what to do at first, smile, run or cry. Well, jump to 2014 and meet McDonalds new mascot dubbed "McScary."



Some complain that the box, with it's cavernous dark mouth and rows of large white teeth is just downright scary. One comment said "it's the meal that EATS YOU." The character will be introduced nationwide on Friday.

In response to the criticism on social media, a McDonalds spokeswoman says the character has been "loved and well received" by children in Latin America. But will the kids in the U.S. agree? Time will only tell.
