Rare Commercial Vault – McDonald’s McDLT ft. Jason Alexander – 1985 HD
This commercial is a personal favorite. Yet again, you get to see Jason Alexander get excited about fast food, and best yet, he tip toes his way across the television screen broadway style. McDonald’s knew what they were doing using Jason as the star to sell their new McD.L.T sandwich. He was quite that catch for top shelf commercial gigs back then. Now, see him here in all his feather-foot glory! Enjoy!

I wonder who he was and this how they had to make it big back then and what royalties did they get because they really acted there way into Hollywood!

I'm not even from the 80s yet i want this instead of asking the counter to separate them for me, I don't wanna trouble em
If the packaging was the problem, Easy solution is what they're doing now with their bigger burgers like the Big Mac: Cardboard packaging

I'm old enough to remember when these first dropped. They were THAT good. Don't BeeEss me with a toy, Dad. Gimme a better burger! I caught some heat for the BS, but nothing serious. 80s were a great time to be a kid.

Cheese one the cold side, buried under a tomato. No wonder it got pulled.

Unfortunately , Jack in the box ran a commercial shortly after the Mcdlt was created, and pretty much shut the burger down as "Jack" purely made fun of , "So let's see, the hamburger paddy stays hot under the hot lamp, and the lettuce and tomato… uh… , stays hot under the heat lamp too?"
The Mcdlt (my fav burger at mcdonals ever) got shot down and done away with shortly after that.

I'm thinking of starting a 1980s style fast food restaurant oddly enough and weird enough as I am for the times I'm 21 and I wanna call my fast food restaurant grease Rush. I mean who needs quality over quantity? Am I right?

That was one of my favorite McDonald’s hamburgers. I can’t believe they never tried to bring it back. You could actually arrange your own burger and make it look somewhat like the pictures in their advertisements. The mess you get today when you open the wrapper or the box is a disgrace.

I've bought ONE McDLT in my life.. I never bought a 2nd one. It was actually a fantastic idea, with one extremely stupid error: They put the cheese on the cold side. WHY???? The cheese should have been on the hot side, melting nicely into the patty. I'm certain that's why it failed. I truly wish they would re-launch the McDLT with the cheese on the hot side. And while I'm wishing for things that will never happen, I wish they would bring back the McArch Deluxe. It was delicious.

I’m just learning about the McDLT from the How Did This Get Made? Podcast and I, like Jason, didn’t understand it even after they played the audio from this commercial. I have one honest question I would like answered.
Why the fuck would they put the cheese on the cold side?

McDonald’s financial sales pitch: “How can we save a little time and money making our food? I’ve got it! We’ll have the CUSTOMER make the hamburger and just tell them it makes it fresher! Brilliant!” Seriously though, I totally remember the McDLT. This commercial is iconic too. Back when people broke out into dance in the street over hamburgers. 😄💃🏼🕺🏼 I do remember it tasting pretty darn good back in the day. But in the end it was basically just a normal hamburger with WAY too much styrofoam packaging. So horrible for the environment.

From what I remember it was the packaging that ended the McDLT. All the styrofoam. It became a controversy. So they switched to paper. Other sandwiches were in styrofoam as well but a much smaller amount and easy to switch. I assume they dropped the McDLT because paper would have been more expensive and wasteful (controversial).
Oh, and by the way the McDLT is just a 1/4 pounder with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Which is now the 1/4 pounder deluxe.

Jason, WHY EXACTLY is the cheese on the “cool side?” THAT’S what killed the McDLT, and nothing else. You should’ve stipulated in your contract that all McDLT’s get the cheese on the hot side.

This should be standard in every single burger restaurant. They give you the burger (already with mayo, ketchup, mustard relish and cheese) with the lettuce, tomato and onion separate. Idk why they don't. No one likes hot lettuce. I'm just saying!!!
