McDonald’s In the 70s & 80s — Why We Loved It

Speaking of Fast Food, I know a place where you can get a Rodeo Burger 1:13 Now that's a Happy Meal, I don't know what they're selling now, But The Happy Meal needs the Golden Arches Handle. It's the McDonald's Trade Mark. It's the same as if all the sudden instead of dressing like Bunnies The Play Boy girls were just in a 🩱 or Topless 👙🩳🩲, You see the problem? I never got a Birthday Party at McDonald's. 2:40 Oh going back to the very beginnng with Ray Crock and The McDonald Brothers, Dick and Mac, before Ronald became the mascot. 3:14 Scenes from The Founder (2016) Starring Michael Keaton as Ray Crock. Hey that film's as old as my channel. 3:29 Wow Beverages and fries for $0.10, Shakes for $0.20 Hamburgers for $0.15 and with cheese $0.19, Talk about a value meal you could buy the entire menu for $1.14 4:41 It' just like the one we had in Great Falls, MT. It was right next to the Park, Genius Location thinking back on it. The kids could get our food, and eat it at the park. 5:43 and the Core Gen-X is born. I think The Ronald McDonald Costume is meant to be Ketsup and Mustard. 6:18 Nice editing, no CGI. 7:22 YAY, The Ronald we all grew up with, with a 60s style Computer. 11:05 They don't make ads like that anymore. 13:30 I always wanted to do one of those ads. 17:05 the Cookies tasted like Animal Crackers. Probably the same formula. 21:50 Icy Coke, Big Shakes, Sundaes and Apple Pies, and Repeat. Birdy was also a Character, I still remember when she Hatched on the scene. 25:07 The McNuggets? I always took the sweet and sour sauce. 27:58 The Year I became a Jellicle cat. Check The Icon and Handle of my Channel, I'm still Little Joe: The Moonlight Cat. 29:14 Watch it on Tubi if you dare. 30:22 The Piano Recital. 31:27 Mac The Moon. 32:46 I'm sure Morgan Spurlock had something to do with that. 33:11 Yeah Thought so. 33:42 and he should've done 2 months one where he exercised, and one where he didn't. 38:00 good thing I ate.

Fries were the best back when they still used tallow to fry them in. Also, the apple pies were fried in that same tallow! Mmmm yummy!

Back in the 80s, McDonald's was the coolest place to eat. It felt like a fantasy land

My dad managed 6 from '93-'96. One in the mall, one outside the mall, and a new one in Wal-Mart. Then 3 others in cities 30 minutes away. I was 11 in '96. Lots of cool toys and playplaces during that era still.

This place was SUPER CHEAP back then!

Is that where "what a kroc" comes from?

Should have had Fuhre McFlurry as a character. Missed opportunity.

I remember it being a real treat like you mentioned but I think
MacDonalds is Masonic, clowns- Shriners, elites, unfortunately not the food I think we used to eat, it was prob always bad, came from meat that we don’t really know what it is

The food smelled and tasted better back then!

The one thing our generation lost was common friggin sense. McDonald’s is a treat not a lifestyle choice. You don’t use it as a staple of your diet.

In the 90s, I always got a #2 with Diet Coke. There was a time when they sold I think 10 cheeseburgers for a low price.

I hated when they stopped selling root beer.

14:09 I was just thinking Sid and Marty Kroft created that commercial. Looked like HR Puffinstuff.

That last commercial with Bird and Jordan had me laughing…I was ready for them to say "over the river and through the woods".😂

that original store in Des Plaines (Locals use a hard S which is weird since we don't use the hard S for the state) was there until a few years ago as a sort of museum.

I just Door Dashed a Happy Meal to myself! Great memories ❤

Rest in peace Ozzy Osbourne Cast Away at the age of 76

I remember the hop soach commercials

Sadly we Chicagolanders pronounce Des Plaines as is, with both s’s. Dehs Planes. De plane is what Tattoo says on fantasy island 😂
