Kids won't get this backpack, but we really want it.

McDonald's, the cornerstone of the fast food industry, will be giving away hundreds of backpacks filled with ~~double cheeseburgers~~ school supplies to local kids over the next week.

During the "Get Backpackin' to School" sweepstakes children will be randomly selected and awarded a "McDonald's branded" backpack stuffed with back-to-school essentials. Fifteen locations in the city of Detroit have been selected to host the sweepstakes, and each will giveaway the backpacks during a two-hour block on their appointed day.

Next Monday and Tuesday, four metro Detroit McDonald's locations will host the same sweepstakes in cities like Ypsilanti, Oak Park, Taylor, Lincoln Park,
