They know that adults covet these bears too I was in my late 20s at the time of my last flight in SQ J (pre-Covid) and they didn't bat an eyelid at my request. I have four upcoming sectors in SQ J and I'll be requesting one on each leg if available!

On a side note, as someone whose family is from Hong Kong, I'm not surprised to hear that people are going crazy about some stuffed toys haha. I still remember the McDonald's "Snoopy World Tour" mania of 1998 (TLDR: Snoopy figurines dressed in various national costumes). I was a child at the time, living overseas with my mother while my father remained in HK. I collected a few Snoopys while I was in HK during my school term break, then my dad visited McDonald's each time a new one was released and gave them to me when I visited in the next term break. At least all that effort didn't go to waste - I've kept the full set to this day, because I think they are the perfect keepsake for a frequent flyer!
