The Teenie Beanies are miniature Beanie Babies that were offered in McDonald's promotions from 1996-2000. The Teenie Beanies were most in demand from McDonald's in the first year they were offered, and declined in popularity every year thereafter, even though more were produced each time. During the height of their popularity, which was in 1998, Teenie Beanies were the cause of many fights at various McDonald's locations, resulting in calls to police, criminal charges, and injuries.〔(2 women at restaurant fight )〕 These included a Miami area McDonalds employee, who was charged with the theft of the toys.〔(STOLEN BEANIE BABIES RECOVERED )〕 Though they were sold for around $2 each along with a Happy Meal, they were often sold for much higher prices on the secondary market after the promotion. Some McDonalds locations exhausted their supplies of Teenie Beanies before the promotion was over. Teenie Beanie Babies returned to McDonalds in July 2009, featuring Beanie Babies 2.0, the subseries of Ty Beanie Babies. Consumers could log onto http://www.ty.com/ and play online with their new Teenie Beanie as a marketing decision to raise public awareness and garner interest in the Beanie Babies 2.0 virtual pets. Originally, there was a 30-day trial period for playing with the toys online, but now the company has decided to allow consumers to keep their virtual pets for an undisclosed period of time (albeit indefinite.) An all-new line of Teenie Beanie Boos, a miniaturized version of the popular Beanie Baby spin-off with large eyes, were introduced to McDonalds in July 2014. ==1996 Series== The 1996 series included 10 Beanies.〔(McDonald's 1996 Teenie Beanie Babies Checklist! )〕 #Patti the Platypus #Pinky the Flamingo #Chops the Lamb #Chocolate the Moose #Goldie the Goldfish #Speedy the Turtle #Seamore the Seal #Snort the Bull #Quacks the Duck (resembling Quackers) #Lizz the Lizard (resembling Lizzy) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teenie Beanies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
