Honestly because of how soft everyone has become over the years, nobody can even handle working in fast paced fast-food restaurants anymore. People have been working the grind since we have existed, and 98 percent of all humans that have ever lived can handle so much more than the people of the last 80 years
They still are unstoppable. Just because you personally don’t like it, they’re by far the most successful fast food corporation in existence. They’re the busiest, most expensive (to franchise), and are guaranteed cash cows for their franchisee’s.
Having been an executive chef for 42 years I never knew where my favorite quote came from” if you have time to lean you have time to clean “ a quote my earliest chefs and instructors emblazoned into my brain. It’s great knowing who came up with it!thanks Ray you helped make me a better executive chef and helped my career in ways you will never know! Over the years I made certain that my baseboards in my kitchen were as clean as the table tops in my dining rooms and I spent many hours doing that work myself to prove to my staff that nobody’s too good to not get on their knees to scrub baseboards!
Brian... you have a lost characteristic, synonymous with an excellent work ethic. Most people don't share your enthusiasm, as they don't get the same satisfaction from what they do. In this day and age, trying to get people to do the minimum of what they're being paid to do, is like pulling teeth. While there are plenty of folks who will go the extra mile, most just are not motivated. They don't correlate initiative with any sense of reward. Why? Because they have too much handed to them. Usually, there isn't much in the way of consequences for their actions. Today, our work force is flooded with mouth-breathers, who feel entitled to walk the path of least resistance. They don't do anything they consider to be beneath them. There's no way around it... a person must be raised with a good work ethic. Otherwise... no one will care about a restaurant's baseboards, no matter how important it is to a sanitary work place. There are a lot of us that WILL get on our knees. But, those people are usually too busy baby-sitting their help, making sure that everything else is getting done. I'm sure you know all about it. Best of luck to you!
I have to give you big credit for presenting this in a factual way without the annoying stock footage and vid tricks used in 80% YT history vids. Also your plain and correct pronunciation of the narration is a pleasure. Nicely done!
Can u give me examples of “stock footage” and “video tricks”? I watch a lot of history videos and have not a clue of what you’re talking about . Please help me understand ❤
I love the fact that he didn't use computerized voices to narrate this. His voice was clear and comfortable to listen to and he didn't stretch it out with useless verbal diarrhea.
Thank you! I would never use such atrocities as a computer voice so rest assured in the future that will never happen. Unless for a comedic effect haha. I approach my documentaries as just me talking to a friend about something that is backed up with 100% fact. So when you talk to a friend you’re not trying out for the English language mastery Olympics. Some people disregard everything I say in the video and nitpick something I say grammar wise here and there and that’s fine. But it’s like, just enjoy it. Glad a majority do. Thanks for the kind words! 😁
Very enjoyable video. Richard McDonald lived in Bedford NH. By the time I met him in the late 90’s he was very elderly, and I was a bag boy at Vista Foods. Richard McDonald LOVED telling everyone he founded McDonalds… often to the same Vista employees who had heard the story several times. What can I say, he was quite old then. I wish I still had his business card. It was imprinted in gold, with Golden Arches in the center, his name, and the word “Founder”.
That’s awesome! Oh man, I would have loved to interview him back then. That would be cool if you had his card. Great story, thanks for sharing! And thanks for the kind words
That was one hell of a job my friend, I usually can't sit and watch something for more than 20 minutes, I couldn't walk away from this one. Watched it on my TV but had to jump on the phone real quick to leave a like and a comment for all of your hard work. Absolutely fantastic..
Haha! Well thank you! I appreciate it! I’m glad it kept your attention! And if you want to watch more documentaries I made, I did continue on to this “history of McDonald’s” series! Just look in the playlist section of this channel and find the “documentaries” playlist. There’s plenty more stuff to discover! Take care and thanks again!
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadioOh, believe me I did.. Watched multiple videos already, mostly the documentaries. I always find it fascinating how even the little things we take for granted in everyday life have an interesting history and story behind them.
@@SodapopTheOutsider Atwater and Sainte Catherine just across the street from the old Montreal Forum where the Montreal Canadiens played at the time. A regular hamburger 29 cents. salary $2.67 hours
Fred Turner is an example of “ask not what you are getting … but what you are becoming” He stood out from the very beginning and proved his competence… he actually cared and because of that was hand picked by Ray himself. Such a beautiful thing
Who are you to say what someone deserves? If people aren’t interested in viewing it why does that concern you. They made a whole movie based off of what he is talking about 13 minutes into the video. That is much more interesting than watching this bulljive.
It's a great video about a business that's seen better days! I love McDonalds but after bad experiences in the last 5 years, there are only TWO I trust and that never used to happen!
I was cleaning out of hospital listening to your documentary very interesting made the time go by enjoy the whole documentary and listen to the rest of it on the car ride home
This was an extremely well made and well written documentary. They did their due diligence and really got the history of McDonald's. THIS IS a GREAT VIDEO! Again when time and quality effort goes into a video it shows, and this one definitely has it and then some! Excellent job sir! 👏 Thank you for your dedication, time, and effort in bringing this history to us. The historical significance of McDonald's is obviously one if the biggest stories of our generation, and you did a phenomenal job putting it all together. You got a subscriber! Thanks again!
Hey there! Sorry been busy and I’m catching up to replying back to comments with some kind of thought! Haha I made and put this all together myself and it was quite the task! Was fun to make and even better given the fact I could eat the food after filming it! I’ve made plenty more videos on McDonald’s stuff you may like as well! Thanks for such kind words. I appreciate all the love this video has been given when originally I just posted it thinking it may get a thousand views. Haha Take care and have a good one!
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio I appreciate it too. All the hard work you’ve put in shows. Godbless and keep it up. And your right was sleeping and needed to watch something interesting and this hit the nail on the head.
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio You certainly have created a product with your documentary production methods and should now start marketing your product there is definitely an established market for low cost doco's and probably loads of new markets waiting to be tapped into, good luck, btw I would present yourself a bit more professionally, not much more though.
Much respect to you sir as your efforts into making this grand documentary was extra special and deserves the attention and praise it gets from here on out. Thank you
Nicely done! I worked for McDonald's for 23 years, and loved every minute of it right up until the very end! It was and has been a huge part of my life and I still use many of the things I learned in the management program to this day to run my own business(s).
I just watched your documentary with both a Quarter Pounder and a Big Mac. Hit pause, took a little nap, then woke up and watched the rest. Bottom line: I McLoved it. Thanks for your efforts in putting this together.
A nap with a quarter pounder and a Big Mac in the belly enhances the nap so well! I’m happy you McLoved my video! Thanks for watching! I have plenty more McDonald’s documentaries in the “documentaries” playlist for the next time you wanna go down the rabbit hole 😎. Thanks again for giving my video a chance!
I still remember so well eating my first ever Big Mac in 1987 in a newly opened MacDonalds in Belgrade, Serbia, then capital of Yugoslavia, it felt immediatelly so tasty and the process of getting the food seemed immediatelly so natural.
@@johnmiller5679 Dobar dan to you sir, it is an honor to meet you, the mac I am refering to is the first that opened in Yugoslavia and in entire southeastern Europe and it was the one in Slavia square. I only missed the year, it was in 1988, not 1987.
I began watching and was hooked. Thank you so much for doing all the work on this. I'm in my late '60s now and McDonald's was one of my first jobs as a kid. It was the first time I was introduced to a lie detector test they gave all employees and I'll never forget the Triple Ripple ice cream cone. Being immature kids at the time, we took great pleasure and putting packs of mayonnaise underneath car tires when we were doing lot checks and having a grand old time watching them splat all over everybody. As I said, I was an immature kid but I did learn a lot about work ethics. So again, thank you very much for making this documentary.
Thank you Bob! Ahhhh, Im in my mid 30's but i can already look back at my late teens and basically all of my 20's and think of a library of immature things i did with my buddies. It all about that experience! All the best people got into some kind of real fun. I would have loved to try the triple ripple ice cream cone! I see it in old photos of the menus, teasing me hahaha Thanks for watching and have a great one!
Great documentary! Thanks for all the effort and time you put in to producing this. It’s put together so well the time passes there’s never a dull moment. I lived very close to the Des Plaines, Illinois store and frequented quite a bit back into 60s. Again, thanks so much for doing this documentary about McDonald’s!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m a fellow Illinoisan on the southern side though, I’d love to visit Des Plaines at some point strictly for the McDonald’s history. Have a great day and thanks for the kind words!
WOW ! This is one of the most thorough documentaries I have ever seen. The research & photographic history is amazing. This video is whimsical AND informative AND entertaining !
Thanks! That means a lot as I did as much as I could to make the story as laid out and easy to understand as possible. I plan on working on more in the future so stay tuned!
@@scottlarson1548 ahhh yes! The Founder starring Michael Keaton. Released December 7, 2016 and directed by John Lee Hancock. Music by Carter Burwell. Great movie indeed.
Brilliant video! Loved the in depth history of both the McDonald’s Brothers and Ray Kroc. A true, complete documentary. I will share this video everyone on social media.
I tried to do my best besides some other movies on McDonald’s that leaves out reasons of why “this” or “that” happened. Very much appreciate you sharing as it helps and motivates me to bring more stuff like this to the channel. Thank you! 😊
Thanks man, it’s slowly coming along. Since 2019 lol. If you liked this, stay tuned, I’m working on the history of the McDLT now. I have other documentaries as well, it’s in a playlist on the channel. They’re fun to do when I have the time.
I have to admit, I thought I would only watch a few minutes of this, but ended up watching it all!! Very well done.. a big part of my interest came from working at a brand new store built in 1982 in my hometown outside KCMO. My first real job!! I got to see the introduction of McNuggets AND McRib AND McDLT !! I also worked at a corporate McDonald's while in college.. the difference between the 2 was surprising!! I always ask anyone who has worked at McDonald's what they add to their food at work.. Most popular-- Mac sauce on frys, or tartar sauce on frys!! They have AWESOME sauce!!
Right on man! I’m happy you enjoyed it! It’s such a great story, I had to tell it right after the movie “The Founder” left me asking so many questions and no answers. My dad worked around the same time you did when he was a teenager. He claims to have invented the double McRib 😂😂😂
Well done; excellent presentation, interest holding format, accuracy with lots of interesting facts. Very well done. Sad to say I'm the age where I watched all this going on and remember many of the events mentioned. In 1976, I was in Chicago for a special trip and I met Ray and Joan Kroc. Very very nice people who actually made real and interesting conversations about finding out about you. I was very impressed; before the meeting, I didn't know who they were. Interestingly enough the same trip, at the same hotel, I met Harlan Sanders. I obviously knew who he was from his commercials and he was just like his commercials. I wish I would have known to have said something about noticing the gravy quality going down.
I mourn the loss of the Angus Mushroom & Swiss. That was an amazing product. It was an interesting time when different burger places experimented with Angus beef. I know they weren't exactly cheap but they were worth every penny.
Amazingly well-done documentary. I hope you make money doing these. As good as all the best documentaries I've seen, and with your own unique perspective/voice.
Thank you so much for this. I have heard so much about Ray Kroc (he played piano like me)! I admire his meticulous actions even scrapping gum off the sidewalk of his first McDonald's franchise. The McDonald Brothers and Ray Kroc are a NATIONAL TREASURE
I am an entrepreneur myself; I own two taco shops and it really takes a lot of effort to stay afloat. I've watched this video at least three times and I find it really inspiring.. I've been working 16-18 hrs days for 6 years now but it doesn't matter, I'm confident that in the future I'll collect my rewards. Congrats for your video.. keep up that good job.
Hey there Ruben! There’s definitely a lot to unpack from the history of McDonald’s so I don’t blame you watching it multiple times. Your story inspires me as well, there is a whole new meaning to work when you know it’s up to you if the business succeeds or not. Much more care is put into it than just working at a place someone else owns, put in 8 hours, leave and not worry about it until the next day. I trust that as long as you stick with it, things will only go up from there! I’d say from myself researching McDonald’s if I were to open a restaurant, I’d keep the menu simple and introduce items that compete with other items from similar businesses. Some would see it as being a copycat but hey, the filet o fish ripped off the big boy fish sandwich and where are big boy restaurants now? Hardly existent, if they even do anymore. Where are your taco shops located? I’d love to review your food for a video if I’m ever out that way! 😎 Thank you for watching, the support and kind words. Have a great and blessed day.
Highly recommending a book named E-Myth by Michael Gerber, who himself is a big fan of Ray Kroc and cites him often in the book. It’s dedicated to small business owners and entrepreneurs
Extremely well-done. Shows how things come into being, and what it takes to bring things into being. We tend to take McDonald's for granted. But it took a herculean effort to bring it into reality. Thank you for the documentary.
Thank you so much for this documentary. I sat religiously and watched every bit of this video. At a point I left it playing while I was taking a shower so I follow up and do not miss out on any detail. Working on building my own multimillionaire food company. This docu clears up the path for me! I can do this! I will do this ! Thanks ! and see ya in a bit when I’ve reached the top. (12:35am) (11/03/23)
This video was beautiful. I watched it over the course of 3 days and it's sad that it finally came to an end. I'll miss my entertainment to watch at Lunch and Dinner time. Cheers to this amazing documentary. Ray Kroc and the McDonald's brothers would be proud.
Thank you! But don’t fear! There’s plenty more videos I’ve made in this style for you to keep your lunch and dinner entertainment to carry on for a while. Here’s a playlist of all the documentaries I’ve done. You can continue on the history of McDonald’s journey at chapter 5: the history of the McRib, then up to the recent one chapter 9 Documentaries ruclips.net/p/PLRBQPQLxxI-5Xa_rrQMDH5H44mCIvYMNG
Kroc was a gifted visionary. My favorite McDonald's experience is eating a quarter pounder with cheese and an apple pie alternating one bite of each at a time. The ritual always takes place in silence with my eyes closed, the only noise being a busy McDonald's Restaurant in the background. I'm lovin it 😍😊
Why am I not surprised that Disney would pop up somewhere in this lol. Seriously though, this was a well put together documentary. As a budding business person, I must have seen The Founder a dozen times already and it still fascinates me. Great work!!
The tentacles of Disney are long! Lol Thank you so much for the high praise, there’s definitely a lot to learn from hearing about how businesses in the past made it.
I've been working for McDonald's off and on for the last 10 years or so. I do have to admit, it's one of my favorite places that I've worked over the years.
This really brings me back to yesteryear when I didn't know there was a relationship between diet and health. I stopped going to McD's years ago when I noticed after eating there I would get McGas, and the following day, would take a McSchitt. Great doc man!
A really well put together documentary. Thanks a lot for this! I love the contrast between the company commercials shown and the self made "real life" examples of actual McDonald's products. I worked at McDonald's myself as a student in Germany and was always impressed by the completely organized production processes. By now I rarely go to McDonald's, but after watching this documentary I want to go again 😂
Thank you so much! I have to admit, every time when it called for me to buy something for this video I was happy as I got to eat it after filming hahaha. Didn’t eat as much McDonald’s as I did until researching and doing this, now I have a much greater respect eating there.
Halfway thru this, I just had to have two cheeseburger's 🍔🍔 while watching this McFlick 👍 I too many years ago, enjoyed the McDonald's in Germany....Where else can you get a Beer & Big Mac. Way before the quote: I Was lovin it.
Obviously you don't do your research they've already proven 85% of McDonald's processing plants have human meat most of it from pre pubes and children 7 is children 7 or under
Very interesting documentary--stayed up past my bedtime to finish it. The one thing that really stood out for me was the fact that both Kroc and the McDonald brothers tried so many things to be successful. They just got up, and then they looked around and found something new. Over and over. Hm.....maybe there's some sort of lesson in that.
I can't believe I watched this whole thing. This was amazing! You put so much effort into this. It brought back so many memories for me. I loved it. Great job. I mean who hasn't eaten at a McDonald's.
An extraordinary look at a remarkable colossus. And wow, I sure have donated loads of cash for nearly identical burgers right around the world! Well done for putting the story together, and we’ll done to Maccas, the MacDonald brothers and the visionary Ray Croc!
Thank you for all the hardships you put into this project it was very informative and I appreciate the effort you put into providing all the information, thanks
Congratulations on a well made documentary. Tons of great information the average person who has ever grown up over the decades with McDonalds (which feels like practically everyone on the planet) can relate to. You also didn’t go warp speed force feeding (no pun intended) an overload of information to the viewer. McDonalds is a key part of the Americana experience. You did the McDonalds experience justice, for I and so many people reading this, with a well paced presentation of information. McDonalds … a truly joyful American experience at home and that proudly has been shared with the rest of the world 🌎. It’s hard to even imagine a world without McDonalds. Truly an amazing statement and accomplishment, the global reach and globally shared cultural experience of McDonalds, when you think about it.
Hey Joe! I did what I could to make it concise and flow well. Obviously I left out a few things that people (too many actually) have pointed out that I didn’t include. I didn’t include some things on purpose as I plan to do more in depth videos on the subjects! McDonald’s is definitely a huge part of my childhood, teenage years and adulthood! Granted I cheated on them quite a lot with Taco Bell, but like a true love, I always come crawling back to them when Taco Bell keeps forgetting to include tomatoes and sour cream on my taco supremes! It’s amazing how many different menu items there are all around the world. I hope one day to track down every items and make a huge video on them all lol Until then, thank you so much for the great comment and just to let you know if you haven’t yet, I’ve made quite a few more side documentaries on other McDonald’s stuff if you haven’t seen them yet, check em out and let me know what you think! Have a great one Joe! Take care!
Exceptional documentary, by far the best record of the McDonnald's company I've ever seen, McDonald's themselves would approve of this I am certain. Respect to the amount of work you CLEALRY put in, and especially so bypassing the American tradition of putting correct-facts at the bottom of the list of importance.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice video! So much nostalgia associated with McDonald’s! I always liked The Founder and immediately hoped they would do a sequel where they cover the latter part of McDonald’s history 😎
My personal favorite thing from McDonalds is a sausage egg McMuffin with a hash brown inside the sandwich, which I get every Wednesday for breakfast. Since my boss goes to the auction on Wednesday mornings, I can order one and eat it at my desk while checking my email. I call it Hot Breakfast Wednesdays, cheers! Good job on the documentary
Hahaha I’ll have to try Breakfast Wednesdays soon! It’s been too long since I’ve had their hotcakes and hash browns. So good 🤤 Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the documentary! 😎
Great job putting this documentary together. It was obviously a lot of time, effort, research, and editing that went into this and it is appreciated. I wish I was able to upvote it more than once! Well done..
Thanks man! I appreciate it! There’s plenty of other documentaries on McDonalds and other stuff too in the “documentaries” playlist on the channel here if you wanna dig deeper into McDonalds lore. Have a good one! 😎
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio I’m about to!! I love this corporate history stuff especially when it’s about foodservice. I literally sat in the parking lot of McDonald’s for dinner and watched this
An amazing story and an incredibly well done documentary. I saw my first McDonald's in Ft. Meyers and Sarasota, Florida ca. 1958. I can remember watching the fries being made from scratch. Machine peeled potatoes, a big cast iron press to cut, soaking the raw fries to reduce starch. And, of course, they were fried in tallow as the gods intended. One day when I lived in Southern California, I stopped by McDonald's in Goleta, California. Santa Barbara's adjacent city to the west. And inside, there was a plaque commemorating the invention of the Egg McMuffin by the franchisee's wife. So, to pick a nit, it was invented in Goleta, not SB.
I too lived by in the Ft Myers area, in the late 1950’s I would use my allowance to purchase a hamburger and fries :). I live in a different part of the state .., I still love McDonald’s! ❤️🌷🍟💐🌺🌸
There are no other Gods besides Lord Jesus Christ as we all will find out on judgement day. He does punish idolaters later that keep doing it and don't stop. Unfortunately there is no rest for the unrepentant and the disbelievers in the lake of fire and brimstone. It is the second death.
Good job on the documentary!I like the tribute you did at the end, to the McDonalds brothers.Ive done that too.They deserve the praise.Consider doing one on Glen Bell,founder of taco Bell.Another great story.
Thanks dude! That’s how I come across some of my favorite channels, by randomly clicking lol I have plenty of other documentaries on McDonalds stuff in the “documentaries” playlist on the channel. Regardless if you subscribed or not, enjoy and have a good one!
Thanks for making this detail video. For those who is determined to watch until the end, I fully appreciate how legends are made! The right people at the right place the right time for the right reason! Before this video, I was told Ray Kroc was a great leader! Even thought he did not come up with the original idea, he saw the potential! Now this video made me realizes that Kroc was just someone who struggled to keep a business afloat!!! That doesn't diminish his legacy to me, it actually increase my respect to him!!! This video tells me that, we normal people should just focus on keep putting one foot before the other. It is up to history to judge.
Ray Croc was a great example of dedication and self-discipline. I worked for McDonald's for 23 years beginning in 1980 and his personality and leadership were always central to the mission.
Thank you for this most wonderful presentation. I remember my mom and her 2 sisters taking us kids to the $.15 McDonalds hamburger restaurant to check it out. I enjoyed learning the history of it all.
This was very informative about McDonalds history. I am glad to see more than what The Founders movie was able to cover. It was also a nostalgic visit to some menu items that are now just seasonal or removed altogether in my area. Well done video.
The founder is great but definitely left out the extent of the history of McDonald’s beyond Ray Krocs life. Thank you and I’m happy you enjoyed it! More McDonald’s mini documentaries coming later this year!
Interesting documentary. I worked for Al Bernardin for six years in one of the two stores where he developed the Quarter Pounder. On the anniversary weekend, we would sell it for the original price (75 cents). The lines would be crazy long. Aside from the Quarter Pounder, he also helped develop the Filet o' Fish and the apple and cherry pies.
This is a terrific documentary. Very watchable, very informative, and seems to me to correct the Hollywood distortions from the movie "The Founder." McDonald's should have paid you to do this work. Deserving of an award.
Excellent! I was hoping there would be a mention of the fruit and walnut salad (used to love those!), but this was extensive, highly informative and entertaining to watch!
Excellent documentary. BTW, back when I was a kid (I'm now 65) A burger, small fries and small soda were advertised to cost under a dollar. That same combination now costs $5.25
I remember often stopping at a McDonalds somewhere just outside of Boston as a kid on the way to either visit relatives or on day trips to Nantasket Beach for 15¢ hamburgers, 10¢ fries, and 10¢ sodas, which we, of course, called "tonics". That must have been in the early-to-mid '60s. It was on a strip along with several other early fast food stands, drive-ins and diners. McDonalds was OK, but personally, I preferred the little Howard Johnsons stand that served clam rolls or another joint that just had roast beef sandwiches--like some "proto-Arbys" I suppose, but WAY tastier.
Thank you for a very well researched & documented history. As a writer I know the time it took to gather the business as well as personal history of each individual. Research is very time consuming but also rewarding & fun. Around every corner you learn tidbits that take you to new destinations with many gold nuggets along the way.
Thank you! And yes it was very time consuming but so fun at the same time. I can only wish to have more free time to make a hundred more of these on other subjects. I’ll try! Thank you for the kind words, have a great day 😊
This is an amazing documentary. I always had heard how vile and manipulative Kroc was, but wow, he was a hard-working, determined man above all else. It also baffles me that hamburgers used to cost 15 cents, but a milkshake was 20 cents. That blows my mind. Was dairy more expensive back then? Amazing video.
Kroc was hard working and also vile. Good business combo! portions were smaller in the day, dairy wasn’t subsidized like today and inflation is a huge factor.
Sorry but I usually bring my 5 year old grandson to MCDONALD'S every now and then for a happy meal.When I was little my parents bought me to MCDONALD'S for a happy meal . I look back at those times with my parents and brothers as happy times when we ate hamburgers fries 🍟 and drank thick strawberry and chocolate milkshakes with a straw. We had contest for a $5 00 prize for the first one to finish their milkshake 🥛I never won 😢 we are just so busy now that we only see each other during holidays. Back then our parents allowed us to share a table and we talked to each other's company ate Big Macs , Quarter pounders, fish fillet sandwich 🥪 french fries we had what we wanted most if the time . Fish fillet for Lent and apple pies all the time for dessert I loved the fried apple pies. I can't remember when they changed it to baked apple pie. That was a sad day. MCDONALD'S was a big part of my life and still is ! I will not lie I LOVE MCDONALD'S!❤
Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed it enough to give me such a great review. My videos range from a bunch of different things but just know, I’m always working on some big documentary that will always release every 4-6 months
Thank you. Really interesting documentary to watch. Also glad you picked up some things along the way from Sweden. By the way, I still remember the first time I tried a Quarter Pounder cheese in the desert of Nebraska near Las Vegas in 1989, and was blown away by how good it was. I also worked for a year at McDonald’s in Kungens Kurva outside Stockholm around 1992. 👍
Oh nice! I tried to include the rest of the world as much as I could as it was born in the United States, it is a world wide restaurant. I also hate when people don’t realize there’s so much more outside the US. Nice! The quarter pounders are always a great choice. The only thing better is a DOUBLE quarter pounder! Thanks for the feedback and kind words 😎
Ye if they operated from the outset how they operate now they would behave been out of business in 18 months. Terrible customer experience and too much emphasis on delivery and no focus on customer experience
Great documentary. Liked how you said at the end about the mcpizza, I guess there are tons of menu items varying from country to country, though am suprised you didn't mention the breakfast burrito. Also curious as to why you didn't include anything about the play places because that is a big part of McDonald's at least in Canada anyway. It changed which location i went to once I had my child. Also how different they were back when I was a kid, ours was an outdoor one with all of the characters that represented McDonald's. One question for anyone this McDonald's also had a caboose (back of a train) where you could book for kids birthday parties, wondering how many more were out there. This was the 80's I believe out door playground and caboose where gone sometime in the mid 90's.
Huge topic! I watched the entire documentary. Good job! Amazingly, there is still much to cover. Thank you for great insight into the founders and key personnel and long history.
Oh yeah, so much I had to cut from all the menu items and everything else. But this is the best I could do to keep the pacing going for a condensed history of it all. I have been adding chapters after this in the form of mini documentaries on this channel from the shamrock Shake to the McRib and even the McDLT. It’s an ongoing journey lol I’m glad you enjoyed my video man! Take care 😎
This was great. I’ve been watching it in snippets (while eating) for a year, whenever I brought McDs home. I was just gonna say “…but what about the McDLT and the McPizzas?” I had totally forgotten about the “sandwiches” too! Anyways great job 🍔🍟🥤🙌
Hey man! Thanks for checking my lil ole video out for over a year! It’s funny you mention the McDLT because after I made this documentary I went on and made many more extensive videos about other McDonald’s stuff. I actually did a full deep dive into the McDLT! Thanks for watching! Check it out here! ruclips.net/video/Y7h4gyljzKo/видео.html&feature=shareb
I grew up in a family business that distributed eggs. During the mid 1970's our company brought USDA inspected eggs to roughly 40 McDonald's north east of New York City. Many of the restaurants were owned by operators that had 1 to 6 locations. The Garzarelli brothers and Mike Damiano were standouts along with the Colley-McCoy group which is now is known as the Colley Group with many locations. I'm convinced that McDonald's serves the most legitimate consistent product of any food location.
I would say so myself. There’s always people that will slam the worlds largest fast food restaurant as they’re the biggest target out there so negative things will be said naturally. All I can say is, I’ve eaten and taken my chances at smaller “hidden gem” restaurants and left feeling underwhelmed and potentially getting sick later. Many of those times I felt like if I just went to McDonald’s and got a couple Big Macs I would have loved it more so.
The Egg McMuffin was invented by another owner. It was supposed to be Egg Benedict but the gooey sauce made ir too sloppy. So they put a slice of cheese!
I kept waiting to hear about keeping "the hot side hot and and the cold side cold", but I guess that's in another video. Also, there was a huge breakthrough when the first McDonald's opened in Russia. Thanks for a very fun and informative piece. Looking forward to more.
I never understood their decision to end "supersize". Dropping the supersize was a knee-jerk reaction, and will never stop anyone from buying more fries. "Uhhh... we can't put more fries in your container, so... how about you buy as many containers of fries as you'd like?" Duh! The guy who did this experiment, already knew what effect it would have. Why else would he do it? Despite the lack of warnings about excessive calorie intake.... if you're at the golden arches often, and you're gaining weight... sooner or later, you're gonna put 2 and 2 together. Are there such warnings in pastry shops, candy stores, or any other businesses that sell fatty, unhealthy foods? Nope. Why not? On the whole... are kids normally allowed to eat unhealthy, by their parents? Usually... Nope. Why not? Because they're too young to know better. Well... who IS supposed to know better? Adults & parents? The same adults and parents that are bitching about McD's? Hypocrisy, at it's finest. If you're inclined to eat at a McDonald's EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH, by choice, you already know what it will do to you. Some of McD's food is fatty. So what? Why do people's bad personal choices become a "thing" for someone else to have to endure? Why should they be held responsible for what irresponsible people decide to do? This is what is called, "buyer's remorse". Spend your money, use the product, and then complain to the seller, because that investment didn't pan out the way you thought it would. Water is the safest thing to put into your body. But, what happens if you consume too much, for an extended period of time? "Hyponatremia". Are there warning labels & signs on all water sources? Nope. Why not? McD's doesn't sell dangerous food. McD's has sold calorie-laden food to people who don't take responsibility for themselves.
Yes, yes and yes! As I’ve got some comments in the past on how McDonalds is the reason for obesity and blah blah blah, I don’t even comment back anymore because it’s useless to have conversations with people who will believe that it’s a restaurant or companies fault for what individuals do to themselves. The super size me movie was such a sham. He knew it, we knew it, everyone knew it. Especially when he was on some vegetarian diet normally (I don’t know for sure, only watched it once years ago) McDonald’s would react to his body more dramatically. I can eat McDonald’s every other day and be completely fine. Still fit, thin, and healthy as an ox. Some people just can’t stop themselves from indulging. Their brains are hooked on non stop stimulation from all the sugars and so on from what they consume. It’s their fault. McDonald’s doesn’t force anyone to drive to their stores, order, pay and eat their food. But unaccountable people always wanna blame someone other than themselves for the problems they made for themselves. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment that made me say “yes!” Today haha
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio Exactly, when did human society forget that it was responsible for its own actions? Oh, yeah, when the new thing "I'm entitled for this and that" without making an effort to contribute to those things you want came into being. People suing companies despite causing the problem. To quote you "But unaccountable people always wanna blame someone other than themselves for the problems they made for themselves". Litigation for some, there and also here, is a new national pastime/hobby for the sake of suing people, not for a genuine reason. I'm inclined to quote a lawyer friend calling it "Opportunistic litigation".
Because fast food has Salt/Sugar with Unami meat flavors. HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! That's why you don't get addicted to a damn candy store and why fast food is so hard to stop.
Overall, a very good job, lots of info! I worked for Mac's (company stores mostly) from 1969 thru 1975. Your doc did have a few inaccuracies, plus you did miss a lot - the All-American Meal from the 60s, the Tripple Ripple from the 70s, the 3 different sizes of Big Macs that were offered for awhile, their failed fried chicken, their failed roast beef sandwiches from the 60s, switching from fresh meat to frozen patties (1975), their other types of frozen pies (such as the Great Fruit Pie and the Cherry Pie), the different forms of Big Mac packaging over the years (at least 5 that I know of), the 1970s "Two all-beef patties," Big Mac promotion, the introduction of the direct-draw milkshake machine, NO mention at all of Hamburger University, etc. Also, frozen fries began quite a bit later than you said, the company store I worked at in Columbus, OH (at one time, the biggest McDonald's in the nation and one of the first to offer inside seating) began using frozen fries just before I began, in early 1969.....and Big Macs, which were still new, were prepped in the back room, not in the grill area. Maybe you can cover all this in a part 2.
Oh yeah, trust me, I have much more to cover. As I told someone else, if I were to cover everything McDonald’s did in one video it would be 6 hours long! 😂🤣 I did make a video about the McDonald’s menu through the years and another video of discontinued menu items is in the works. I just need to time to do it all! Thanks for the kind works and take care!
@@goldsbym FRFR I want to hear that version. As a person who just previously stopped working at McDonald's I'm intrigued. Plus I fear that due to the lack of good management and people's failure to understand the meaning of how McDonald's became so successful it might be the downfall of the company. I hope not because I really enjoyed the experience and admire McDonald's. Which is why I'm watching this now.
@@anobodydontgo3023 it would take a lot of things to go wrong with McDonald's to completely fail. However it is possible. And failure begins when the management and employees give up.
@@goldsbym As someone who has worked at several stores I can tell you that is a major issue. Poor management and customer service. Locations are already suffering tremendously. It doesn't take much. If a person feels like they can't trust 1 or more locations they can get turned off by all locations. The name doesn't change. I noticed unsanitary conditions and a huge lack of customer appreciation. With people hiring their relatives and friends it could be bad on a business scale. People coming in late or not at all and not appreciating the core values. I've worked for burger King, IHOP, opened waffle houses, and I'm currently working for Rally's. I've been in the fast food industry on and off since the age of 16 I'm now in my 30s and I'm very business savvy but my heart is set on being a boss not a worker my whole life so I've never been focused on advancement but I still understand the core values of running a successful business. BUT thanks for your input.
Wonderful video. Couple things I would have liked to have seen though, and perhaps for future videos, are Mac Tonight and the McDonaldland playgrounds. Also, have to fully disagree about the McBox store redesign, I hate it, and I think alot of others do too. What purpose does it serve to look like every other boring modern chain restaurant?
I eat at McDonald's maybe four times a year, but watching this made me so hungry! I'm gonna go get me a big Mac value meal tomorrow (with a Diet Coke). ☺️☺️😃
Thanks, man! Your documentary was crystal clear!! Had to watch the video for two nights since it was long. LOL! But it's worth watching! Keep it up!! God bless you!!
Hey man! Thanks so much for watching! Check out the “documentaries” playlist for more McDonald’s stuff if you want! I went in on the McDLT, the McRib, the shamrock shake and even the holiday pie. So much odd fun facts on how all those things came to be. Take care and have a great day! 😎
This was really good and informative. Probably like most people The Founder was my introduction to the history of how McDonald's was created along with Ray Kroc. Even in the movie, I didn't see Ray as a thief or did the brothers totally dirty. I respected him for seeing something within McDonalds and went on to make it what it is today. Didn't know he had a daughter or married someone else before Joanie. The brothers not bitter about not getting their royalties, how the big mac got started and so on. Well done

If McDonald's would go back to the 80s quality and everything they would be unstoppable. Today is so hit or miss i no longer bother with it.
Me either 💯
🤮🤮🤮
Honestly because of how soft everyone has become over the years, nobody can even handle working in fast paced fast-food restaurants anymore. People have been working the grind since we have existed, and 98 percent of all humans that have ever lived can handle so much more than the people of the last 80 years
They still are unstoppable. Just because you personally don’t like it, they’re by far the most successful fast food corporation in existence. They’re the busiest, most expensive (to franchise), and are guaranteed cash cows for their franchisee’s.
Ditto
Going to McDonald’s on weekends with my dad was such a highlight during the 80’s.
I think it was every other Saturday, my friends’, who were brother and sister, dad took them to McDonald’s after church.
Me too. My dad would have a “Big Mac attack!” That would be cool. Off to McDonald’s!

Having been an executive chef for 42 years I never knew where my favorite quote came from” if you have time to lean you have time to clean “ a quote my earliest chefs and instructors emblazoned into my brain. It’s great knowing who came up with it!thanks Ray you helped make me a better executive chef and helped my career in ways you will never know!
Over the years I made certain that my baseboards in my kitchen were as clean as the table tops in my dining rooms and I spent many hours doing that work myself to prove to my staff that nobody’s too good to not get on their knees to scrub baseboards!
Brian... you have a lost characteristic, synonymous with an excellent work ethic. Most people don't share your enthusiasm, as they don't get the same satisfaction from what they do. In this day and age, trying to get people to do the minimum of what they're being paid to do, is like pulling teeth. While there are plenty of folks who will go the extra mile, most just are not motivated. They don't correlate initiative with any sense of reward. Why? Because they have too much handed to them. Usually, there isn't much in the way of consequences for their actions.
Today, our work force is flooded with mouth-breathers, who feel entitled to walk the path of least resistance. They don't do anything they consider to be beneath them.
There's no way around it... a person must be raised with a good work ethic. Otherwise... no one will care about a restaurant's baseboards, no matter how important it is to a sanitary work place. There are a lot of us that WILL get on our knees. But, those people are usually too busy baby-sitting their help, making sure that everything else is getting done. I'm sure you know all about it.
Best of luck to you!

I have to give you big credit for presenting this in a factual way without the annoying stock footage and vid tricks used in 80% YT history vids. Also your plain and correct pronunciation of the narration is a pleasure. Nicely done!

I approach my documentaries as just me talking to a friend about something that is backed up with 100% fact. So when you talk to a friend you’re not trying out for the English language mastery Olympics.

Thanks for the kind words! 😁

Very enjoyable video. Richard McDonald lived in Bedford NH. By the time I met him in the late 90’s he was very elderly, and I was a bag boy at Vista Foods. Richard McDonald LOVED telling everyone he founded McDonalds… often to the same Vista employees who had heard the story several times. What can I say, he was quite old then. I wish I still had his business card. It was imprinted in gold, with Golden Arches in the center, his name, and the word “Founder”.
That’s awesome! Oh man, I would have loved to interview him back then. That would be cool if you had his card. Great story, thanks for sharing! And thanks for the kind words

Fred Turner is an example of “ask not what you are getting … but what you are becoming” He stood out from the very beginning and proved his competence… he actually cared and because of that was hand picked by Ray himself. Such a beautiful thing

Who are you to say what someone deserves? If people aren’t interested in viewing it why does that concern you. They made a whole movie based off of what he is talking about 13 minutes into the video. That is much more interesting than watching this bulljive.

This was an extremely well made and well written documentary. They did their due diligence and really got the history of McDonald's. THIS IS a GREAT VIDEO! Again when time and quality effort goes into a video it shows, and this one definitely has it and then some! Excellent job sir! 👏 Thank you for your dedication, time, and effort in bringing this history to us.

I still remember so well eating my first ever Big Mac in 1987 in a newly opened MacDonalds in Belgrade, Serbia, then capital of Yugoslavia, it felt immediatelly so tasty and the process of getting the food seemed immediatelly so natural.
It feels like the food has always been there all along hasn’t it? Thanks for sharing your story, Big Macs are amazing.
Dobra dan, I used to work at the U.S. embassy in Belgrade from 2002-2005. I used to go to the McDonalds there and this is probably the same one.
@@johnmiller5679 Dobar dan to you sir, it is an honor to meet you, the mac I am refering to is the first that opened in Yugoslavia and in entire southeastern Europe and it was the one in Slavia square. I only missed the year, it was in 1988, not 1987.
I also remember mine, the year was circa 1996 and was in London 😅

I began watching and was hooked. Thank you so much for doing all the work on this. I'm in my late '60s now and McDonald's was one of my first jobs as a kid. It was the first time I was introduced to a lie detector test they gave all employees and I'll never forget the Triple Ripple ice cream cone. Being immature kids at the time, we took great pleasure and putting packs of mayonnaise underneath car tires when we were doing lot checks and having a grand old time watching them splat all over everybody. As I said, I was an immature kid but I did learn a lot about work ethics. So again, thank you very much for making this documentary.
Thank you Bob! Ahhhh, Im in my mid 30's but i can already look back at my late teens and basically all of my 20's and think of a library of immature things i did with my buddies. It all about that experience! All the best people got into some kind of real fun. I would have loved to try the triple ripple ice cream cone! I see it in old photos of the menus, teasing me hahaha
Thanks for watching and have a great one!

I have to admit, I thought I would only watch a few minutes of this, but ended up watching it all!! Very well done.. a big part of my interest came from working at a brand new store built in 1982 in my hometown outside KCMO. My first real job!! I got to see the introduction of McNuggets AND McRib AND McDLT !! I also worked at a corporate McDonald's while in college.. the difference between the 2 was surprising!!
I always ask anyone who has worked at McDonald's what they add to their food at work.. Most popular-- Mac sauce on frys, or tartar sauce on frys!! They have AWESOME sauce!!
Right on man! I’m happy you enjoyed it! It’s such a great story, I had to tell it right after the movie “The Founder” left me asking so many questions and no answers.
My dad worked around the same time you did when he was a teenager. He claims to have invented the double McRib 😂😂😂
I worked at Mcdonalds
Same here. I was going to skip it but I legit watched the entire thing.
Mac sauce on my fries here!!!
Well done; excellent presentation, interest holding format, accuracy with lots of interesting facts. Very well done. Sad to say I'm the age where I watched all this going on and remember many of the events mentioned. In 1976, I was in Chicago for a special trip and I met Ray and Joan Kroc. Very very nice people who actually made real and interesting conversations about finding out about you. I was very impressed; before the meeting, I didn't know who they were. Interestingly enough the same trip, at the same hotel, I met Harlan Sanders. I obviously knew who he was from his commercials and he was just like his commercials. I wish I would have known to have said something about noticing the gravy quality going down.
I mourn the loss of the Angus Mushroom & Swiss. That was an amazing product. It was an interesting time when different burger places experimented with Angus beef. I know they weren't exactly cheap but they were worth every penny.
It was so good!
Amazingly well-done documentary. I hope you make money doing these. As good as all the best documentaries I've seen, and with your own unique perspective/voice.
Thank you so much for this. I have heard so much about Ray Kroc (he played piano like me)! I admire his meticulous actions even scrapping gum off the sidewalk of his first McDonald's franchise. The McDonald Brothers and Ray Kroc are a NATIONAL TREASURE
I am an entrepreneur myself; I own two taco shops and it really takes a lot of effort to stay afloat. I've watched this video at least three times and I find it really inspiring.. I've been working 16-18 hrs days for 6 years now but it doesn't matter, I'm confident that in the future I'll collect my rewards. Congrats for your video.. keep up that good job.
Hey there Ruben! There’s definitely a lot to unpack from the history of McDonald’s so I don’t blame you watching it multiple times. Your story inspires me as well, there is a whole new meaning to work when you know it’s up to you if the business succeeds or not. Much more care is put into it than just working at a place someone else owns, put in 8 hours, leave and not worry about it until the next day. I trust that as long as you stick with it, things will only go up from there!
I’d say from myself researching McDonald’s if I were to open a restaurant, I’d keep the menu simple and introduce items that compete with other items from similar businesses. Some would see it as being a copycat but hey, the filet o fish ripped off the big boy fish sandwich and where are big boy restaurants now? Hardly existent, if they even do anymore.
Where are your taco shops located? I’d love to review your food for a video if I’m ever out that way! 😎

Extremely well-done. Shows how things come into being, and what it takes to bring things into being. We tend to take McDonald's for granted. But it took a herculean effort to bring it into reality. Thank you for the documentary.

Kroc was a gifted visionary. My favorite McDonald's experience is eating a quarter pounder with cheese and an apple pie alternating one bite of each at a time. The ritual always takes place in silence with my eyes closed, the only noise being a busy McDonald's Restaurant in the background. I'm lovin it 😍😊
That ritual you just described sounds like absolute heaven, I may have to try that but only replacing the quarter pounder with a triple cheeseburger!
I saw you eating the triple cheeseburger at the end of your excellent documentary, looks delish, I must try one next time
That sounds disgusting.
Why am I not surprised that Disney would pop up somewhere in this lol. Seriously though, this was a well put together documentary. As a budding business person, I must have seen The Founder a dozen times already and it still fascinates me. Great work!!

how unnot know
LMAO
Cinema worthy documentary great work
Thanks so much! 😎
A really well put together documentary. Thanks a lot for this! I love the contrast between the company commercials shown and the self made "real life" examples of actual McDonald's products. I worked at McDonald's myself as a student in Germany and was always impressed by the completely organized production processes. By now I rarely go to McDonald's, but after watching this documentary I want to go again 😂
Thank you so much! I have to admit, every time when it called for me to buy something for this video I was happy as I got to eat it after filming hahaha. Didn’t eat as much McDonald’s as I did until researching and doing this, now I have a much greater respect eating there.
Halfway thru this, I just had to have two cheeseburger's 🍔🍔 while watching this McFlick 👍 I too many years ago, enjoyed the McDonald's in Germany....Where else can you get a Beer & Big Mac. Way before the quote: I Was lovin it.
Obviously you don't do your research they've already proven 85% of McDonald's processing plants have human meat most of it from pre pubes and children 7 is children 7 or under

I love documentaries and this one is STELLAR! You should do more like this, you're really good.
Thanks! There’s other documentaries I’ve done on many other things as well! Just look on my channel under the documentary playlist and enjoy!
Wonderfully done documentary! It was very enjoyable to watch and incredibly informational. Truly a job well done!
Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it! 😁
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio to bad you think Ray Kroc was a swell guy funny how you screw the facts to make it "ok" to be a crook
@@generalpattonpending7256 chill dude
Great video and thanks for your time making it. I am 65 and it was like a trip down memory lane.
No problem! Im glad you enjoyed it! Its always good to look back at videos like these. Closest we can get to a time machine at the moment!
Very interesting documentary--stayed up past my bedtime to finish it. The one thing that really stood out for me was the fact that both Kroc and the McDonald brothers tried so many things to be successful. They just got up, and then they looked around and found something new. Over and over. Hm.....maybe there's some sort of lesson in that.
I can't believe I watched this whole thing. This was amazing! You put so much effort into this. It brought back so many memories for me. I loved it. Great job. I mean who hasn't eaten at a McDonald's.
Thanks brother! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Exactly, let the haters hate, but McDonald’s kicks major ass.
Watch the movie- the founder. The clips are taken from there
@@nitrowolf17 i want to see that movie. I just need to find it on dvd
@@jeremyscaggs7315 i saw the movie its kinder heartbreaking is a good one though
It’s kinda hard to find in stores, I had to buy a Canadian blu ray version online. Should be available everywhere. Deserves to at least.
An extraordinary look at a remarkable colossus. And wow, I sure have donated loads of cash for nearly identical burgers right around the world! Well done for putting the story together, and we’ll done to Maccas, the MacDonald brothers and the visionary Ray Croc!
Thank you for all the hardships you put into this project it was very informative and I appreciate the effort you put into providing all the information, thanks
Congratulations on a well made documentary. Tons of great information the average person who has ever grown up over the decades with McDonalds (which feels like practically everyone on the planet) can relate to. You also didn’t go warp speed force feeding (no pun intended) an overload of information to the viewer.
McDonalds is a key part of the Americana experience. You did the McDonalds experience justice, for I and so many people reading this, with a well paced presentation of information.
McDonalds … a truly joyful American experience at home and that proudly has been shared with the rest of the world 🌎. It’s hard to even imagine a world without McDonalds. Truly an amazing statement and accomplishment, the global reach and globally shared cultural experience of McDonalds, when you think about it.
Hey Joe! I did what I could to make it concise and flow well. Obviously I left out a few things that people (too many actually) have pointed out that I didn’t include. I didn’t include some things on purpose as I plan to do more in depth videos on the subjects!
McDonald’s is definitely a huge part of my childhood, teenage years and adulthood! Granted I cheated on them quite a lot with Taco Bell, but like a true love, I always come crawling back to them when Taco Bell keeps forgetting to include tomatoes and sour cream on my taco supremes!
It’s amazing how many different menu items there are all around the world. I hope one day to track down every items and make a huge video on them all lol
Until then, thank you so much for the great comment and just to let you know if you haven’t yet, I’ve made quite a few more side documentaries on other McDonald’s stuff if you haven’t seen them yet, check em out and let me know what you think!
Have a great one Joe!
Take care!
Exceptional documentary, by far the best record of the McDonnald's company I've ever seen, McDonald's themselves would approve of this I am certain. Respect to the amount of work you CLEALRY put in, and especially so bypassing the American tradition of putting correct-facts at the bottom of the list of importance.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice video! So much nostalgia associated with McDonald’s! I always liked The Founder and immediately hoped they would do a sequel where they cover the latter part of McDonald’s history 😎
I don't think I need to say you did nothing but an excellent job on the coverage. I enjoyed this video completely.!
My personal favorite thing from McDonalds is a sausage egg McMuffin with a hash brown inside the sandwich, which I get every Wednesday for breakfast. Since my boss goes to the auction on Wednesday mornings, I can order one and eat it at my desk while checking my email. I call it Hot Breakfast Wednesdays, cheers! Good job on the documentary
Hahaha I’ll have to try Breakfast Wednesdays soon! It’s been too long since I’ve had their hotcakes and hash browns. So good 🤤
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the documentary! 😎
Better hope your boss doesn't see this
😂😂😂
Great job putting this documentary together. It was obviously a lot of time, effort, research, and editing that went into this and it is appreciated. I wish I was able to upvote it more than once! Well done..
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Very much enjoyed this documentary. Well Done!!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Dude. You knocked this video out of the park. Kudos to you for all the research you did on this, I appreciate this long form documentary. Thank you!!
Thanks man! I appreciate it! There’s plenty of other documentaries on McDonalds and other stuff too in the “documentaries” playlist on the channel here if you wanna dig deeper into McDonalds lore.
Have a good one! 😎
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio I’m about to!! I love this corporate history stuff especially when it’s about foodservice. I literally sat in the parking lot of McDonald’s for dinner and watched this
An amazing story and an incredibly well done documentary.
I saw my first McDonald's in Ft. Meyers and Sarasota, Florida ca. 1958. I can remember watching the fries being made from scratch. Machine peeled potatoes, a big cast iron press to cut, soaking the raw fries to reduce starch. And, of course, they were fried in tallow as the gods intended.
One day when I lived in Southern California, I stopped by McDonald's in Goleta, California. Santa Barbara's adjacent city to the west. And inside, there was a plaque commemorating the invention of the Egg McMuffin by the franchisee's wife. So, to pick a nit, it was invented in Goleta, not SB.
I remember going to the Sarasota McDonald's on Tamiami Trail as a young girl. When I visit, I go grab a burger & a memory...🌞
I too lived by in the Ft Myers area, in the late 1950’s I would use my allowance to purchase a hamburger and fries :). I live in a different part of the state .., I still love McDonald’s! ❤️🌷🍟💐🌺🌸
There are no other Gods besides Lord Jesus Christ as we all will find out on judgement day. He does punish idolaters later that keep doing it and don't stop. Unfortunately there is no rest for the unrepentant and the disbelievers in the lake of fire and brimstone. It is the second death.
@@thespaceram2879 shut your mouth priest.
@@thespaceram2879 "He does punish idolaters later that keep doing it" I am doing it now. It's great.
This documentary was sooo hands on. Great research!
Thank you so much!
Good job on the documentary!I like the tribute you did at the end, to the McDonalds brothers.Ive done that too.They deserve the praise.Consider doing one on Glen Bell,founder of taco Bell.Another great story.
Thank you and planning on it! Only at the moment I’m gathering stuff for a documentary on KFC first. 😎
Great video man. I clicked on it by accident, but I am very happy I did. Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude! That’s how I come across some of my favorite channels, by randomly clicking lol
I have plenty of other documentaries on McDonalds stuff in the “documentaries” playlist on the channel. Regardless if you subscribed or not, enjoy and have a good one!
Thanks for making this detail video. For those who is determined to watch until the end, I fully appreciate how legends are made! The right people at the right place the right time for the right reason! Before this video, I was told Ray Kroc was a great leader! Even thought he did not come up with the original idea, he saw the potential! Now this video made me realizes that Kroc was just someone who struggled to keep a business afloat!!! That doesn't diminish his legacy to me, it actually increase my respect to him!!! This video tells me that, we normal people should just focus on keep putting one foot before the other. It is up to history to judge.
Ray Croc was a great example of dedication and self-discipline. I worked for McDonald's for 23 years beginning in 1980 and his personality and leadership were always central to the mission.
Thank you for this most wonderful presentation. I remember my mom and her 2 sisters taking us kids to the $.15 McDonalds hamburger restaurant to check it out. I enjoyed learning the history of it all.
Fantastic work! Thank you for the video!
Thank you!! I plan on doing more videos like this in the future 😎
Great story and history. Nicely done and never missed a single minute to watch nor not even watching it but listening to you intently
This was very informative about McDonalds history. I am glad to see more than what The Founders movie was able to cover. It was also a nostalgic visit to some menu items that are now just seasonal or removed altogether in my area. Well done video.
The founder is great but definitely left out the extent of the history of McDonald’s beyond Ray Krocs life. Thank you and I’m happy you enjoyed it! More McDonald’s mini documentaries coming later this year!
Interesting documentary. I worked for Al Bernardin for six years in one of the two stores where he developed the Quarter Pounder. On the anniversary weekend, we would sell it for the original price (75 cents). The lines would be crazy long. Aside from the Quarter Pounder, he also helped develop the Filet o' Fish and the apple and cherry pies.
filet of fish was developed by a franchisee for sale on fridays in a catholic area-not your pal
This is a terrific documentary. Very watchable, very informative, and seems to me to correct the Hollywood distortions from the movie "The Founder." McDonald's should have paid you to do this work. Deserving of an award.
Thank you so much for your review. Much appreciate it
A conniving goon.
i really appreciate the energy that went into this man. thank you, i learned alot and was never bored watching this.
Hey thanks so much dude! I’m glad you liked it! Even with all the work on my end it was fun (and filling) work! 🤤 🍔
Excellent! I was hoping there would be a mention of the fruit and walnut salad (used to love those!), but this was extensive, highly informative and entertaining to watch!
In the future I may make a whole video about McDonald’s and their salads! Thank you for the great review of my video! 😊
I actually teared up a few times because I went there as a child and now I'm taking my grandchildren there. I hope it lives on.
God makes every decade special and different
Excellent documentary. BTW, back when I was a kid (I'm now 65) A burger, small fries and small soda were advertised to cost under a dollar. That same combination now costs $5.25
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Ahhhh I’m a slight bit younger but I can remember things being half as much as they are now. It’s sad.
I remember often stopping at a McDonalds somewhere just outside of Boston as a kid on the way to either visit relatives or on day trips to Nantasket Beach for 15¢ hamburgers, 10¢ fries, and 10¢ sodas, which we, of course, called "tonics". That must have been in the early-to-mid '60s. It was on a strip along with several other early fast food stands, drive-ins and diners. McDonalds was OK, but personally, I preferred the little Howard Johnsons stand that served clam rolls or another joint that just had roast beef sandwiches--like some "proto-Arbys" I suppose, but WAY tastier.
Excellent Documentary! It held my interest from beginning to end! Thank you!
That’s great to hear! I’m happy you liked it! And you’re welcome, thank you! 😊
@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio And Thank YOU Sir
Thank you for a very well researched & documented history. As a writer I know the time it took to gather the business as well as personal history of each individual. Research is very time consuming but also rewarding & fun. Around every corner you learn tidbits that take you to new destinations with many gold nuggets along the way.
Thank you! And yes it was very time consuming but so fun at the same time. I can only wish to have more free time to make a hundred more of these on other subjects. I’ll try! Thank you for the kind words, have a great day 😊
This is an amazing documentary. I always had heard how vile and manipulative Kroc was, but wow, he was a hard-working, determined man above all else. It also baffles me that hamburgers used to cost 15 cents, but a milkshake was 20 cents. That blows my mind. Was dairy more expensive back then? Amazing video.
Watch the movie The Founder. Great movie about McDonald's origin.
Maybe it's because price is set by demand. People were willing to pay more for a milkshake.
@@galnhus56 No it isnt, its jst lies n misrepresentation
@@kylmon4759 they did get the 1 million dollar check right lol 😆
Kroc was hard working and also vile. Good business combo! portions were smaller in the day, dairy wasn’t subsidized like today and inflation is a huge factor.
Sorry but I usually bring my 5 year old grandson to MCDONALD'S every now and then for a happy meal.When I was little my parents bought me to MCDONALD'S for a happy meal . I look back at those times with my parents and brothers as happy times when we ate hamburgers fries 🍟 and drank thick strawberry and chocolate milkshakes with a straw. We had contest for a $5 00 prize for the first one to finish their milkshake 🥛I never won 😢 we are just so busy now that we only see each other during holidays. Back then our parents allowed us to share a table and we talked to each other's company ate Big Macs , Quarter pounders, fish fillet sandwich 🥪 french fries we had what we wanted most if the time . Fish fillet for Lent and apple pies all the time for dessert I loved the fried apple pies. I can't remember when they changed it to baked apple pie. That was a sad day. MCDONALD'S was a big part of my life and still is ! I will not lie I LOVE MCDONALD'S!❤
Wow, very well done documentary. It was well paced and well illustrated, not one dry segment. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed it enough to give me such a great review. My videos range from a bunch of different things but just know, I’m always working on some big documentary that will always release every 4-6 months
Thank you. Really interesting documentary to watch. Also glad you picked up some things along the way from Sweden. By the way, I still remember the first time I tried a Quarter Pounder cheese in the desert of Nebraska near Las Vegas in 1989, and was blown away by how good it was. I also worked for a year at McDonald’s in Kungens Kurva outside Stockholm around 1992. 👍
Oh nice! I tried to include the rest of the world as much as I could as it was born in the United States, it is a world wide restaurant. I also hate when people don’t realize there’s so much more outside the US.
Nice! The quarter pounders are always a great choice. The only thing better is a DOUBLE quarter pounder! Thanks for the feedback and kind words 😎
1949 Takes 1 minute to get a burger, fries and drink
2022 Takes 20 minutes for the same thing
Ye if they operated from the outset how they operate now they would behave been out of business in 18 months. Terrible customer experience and too much emphasis on delivery and no focus on customer experience
Last time I ordered 2 Filets of fish and fries it was about 30 seconds wait from the time I ordered.
Great documentary. Liked how you said at the end about the mcpizza, I guess there are tons of menu items varying from country to country, though am suprised you didn't mention the breakfast burrito.
Also curious as to why you didn't include anything about the play places because that is a big part of McDonald's at least in Canada anyway. It changed which location i went to once I had my child. Also how different they were back when I was a kid, ours was an outdoor one with all of the characters that represented McDonald's.
One question for anyone this McDonald's also had a caboose (back of a train) where you could book for kids birthday parties, wondering how many more were out there. This was the 80's I believe out door playground and caboose where gone sometime in the mid 90's.
I bet you're obese
There uses to be an indoor birthday caboose on Eureeka road in Taylor Michigan back in the 80s.
Huge topic! I watched the entire documentary. Good job! Amazingly, there is still much to cover. Thank you for great insight into the founders and key personnel and long history.
Oh yeah, so much I had to cut from all the menu items and everything else. But this is the best I could do to keep the pacing going for a condensed history of it all. I have been adding chapters after this in the form of mini documentaries on this channel from the shamrock Shake to the McRib and even the McDLT. It’s an ongoing journey lol
I’m glad you enjoyed my video man! Take care 😎
This was great. I’ve been watching it in snippets (while eating) for a year, whenever I brought McDs home. I was just gonna say “…but what about the McDLT and the McPizzas?” I had totally forgotten about the “sandwiches” too! Anyways great job 🍔🍟🥤🙌
Hey man! Thanks for checking my lil ole video out for over a year! It’s funny you mention the McDLT because after I made this documentary I went on and made many more extensive videos about other McDonald’s stuff. I actually did a full deep dive into the McDLT! Thanks for watching!

I grew up in a family business that distributed eggs. During the mid 1970's our company brought USDA inspected eggs to roughly 40 McDonald's north east of New York City. Many of the restaurants were owned by operators that had 1 to 6 locations. The Garzarelli brothers and Mike Damiano were standouts along with the Colley-McCoy group which is now is known as the Colley Group with many locations. I'm convinced that McDonald's serves the most legitimate consistent product of any food location.
I would say so myself. There’s always people that will slam the worlds largest fast food restaurant as they’re the biggest target out there so negative things will be said naturally. All I can say is, I’ve eaten and taken my chances at smaller “hidden gem” restaurants and left feeling underwhelmed and potentially getting sick later. Many of those times I felt like if I just went to McDonald’s and got a couple Big Macs I would have loved it more so.
The Egg McMuffin was invented by another owner. It was supposed to be Egg Benedict but the gooey sauce made ir too sloppy. So they put a slice of cheese!
@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio the second Ronald became the prez of PETA!
I kept waiting to hear about keeping "the hot side hot and and the cold side cold", but I guess that's in another video. Also, there was a huge breakthrough when the first McDonald's opened in Russia. Thanks for a very fun and informative piece. Looking forward to more.
Just finished watching this documentary. Great job! Very informative. I haven't had McDonald's in years but made me want a Big Mac.
Hey! Thanks! It’s been a while myself going to McDonalds but yeah a Big Mac does sound pretty damn good right now
I never understood their decision to end "supersize".
Dropping the supersize was a knee-jerk reaction, and will never stop anyone from buying more fries. "Uhhh... we can't put more fries in your container, so... how about you buy as many containers of fries as you'd like?" Duh! The guy who did this experiment, already knew what effect it would have. Why else would he do it? Despite the lack of warnings about excessive calorie intake.... if you're at the golden arches often, and you're gaining weight... sooner or later, you're gonna put 2 and 2 together. Are there such warnings in pastry shops, candy stores, or any other businesses that sell fatty, unhealthy foods? Nope. Why not? On the whole... are kids normally allowed to eat unhealthy, by their parents? Usually... Nope. Why not? Because they're too young to know better. Well... who IS supposed to know better? Adults & parents? The same adults and parents that are bitching about McD's? Hypocrisy, at it's finest.
If you're inclined to eat at a McDonald's EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH, by choice, you already know what it will do to you. Some of McD's food is fatty. So what? Why do people's bad personal choices become a "thing" for someone else to have to endure? Why should they be held responsible for what irresponsible people decide to do? This is what is called, "buyer's remorse". Spend your money, use the product, and then complain to the seller, because that investment didn't pan out the way you thought it would.
Water is the safest thing to put into your body. But, what happens if you consume too much, for an extended period of time? "Hyponatremia". Are there warning labels & signs on all water sources? Nope. Why not? McD's doesn't sell dangerous food. McD's has sold calorie-laden food to people who don't take responsibility for themselves.
Yes, yes and yes!
As I’ve got some comments in the past on how McDonalds is the reason for obesity and blah blah blah, I don’t even comment back anymore because it’s useless to have conversations with people who will believe that it’s a restaurant or companies fault for what individuals do to themselves.
The super size me movie was such a sham. He knew it, we knew it, everyone knew it. Especially when he was on some vegetarian diet normally (I don’t know for sure, only watched it once years ago) McDonald’s would react to his body more dramatically.
I can eat McDonald’s every other day and be completely fine. Still fit, thin, and healthy as an ox. Some people just can’t stop themselves from indulging. Their brains are hooked on non stop stimulation from all the sugars and so on from what they consume. It’s their fault. McDonald’s doesn’t force anyone to drive to their stores, order, pay and eat their food.
But unaccountable people always wanna blame someone other than themselves for the problems they made for themselves.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment that made me say “yes!” Today haha
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio We see eye-to-eye. How refreshing! Perhaps our comments should be pinned? It would be a real honor. Stay safe.
Fat head is a good counter documentary to "supersize me"
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio Exactly, when did human society forget that it was responsible for its own actions? Oh, yeah, when the new thing "I'm entitled for this and that" without making an effort to contribute to those things you want came into being. People suing companies despite causing the problem. To quote you "But unaccountable people always wanna blame someone other than themselves for the problems they made for themselves". Litigation for some, there and also here, is a new national pastime/hobby for the sake of suing people, not for a genuine reason. I'm inclined to quote a lawyer friend calling it "Opportunistic litigation".
Because fast food has Salt/Sugar with Unami meat flavors. HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! That's why you don't get addicted to a damn candy store and why fast food is so hard to stop.
Love this style of videos. I appreciate the work and research you put into this!
Thank you so much! I plan on doing more in the future. For now I’m taking a small break. This video wore me out 😂
Overall, a very good job, lots of info! I worked for Mac's (company stores mostly) from 1969 thru 1975. Your doc did have a few inaccuracies, plus you did miss a lot - the All-American Meal from the 60s, the Tripple Ripple from the 70s, the 3 different sizes of Big Macs that were offered for awhile, their failed fried chicken, their failed roast beef sandwiches from the 60s, switching from fresh meat to frozen patties (1975), their other types of frozen pies (such as the Great Fruit Pie and the Cherry Pie), the different forms of Big Mac packaging over the years (at least 5 that I know of), the 1970s "Two all-beef patties," Big Mac promotion, the introduction of the direct-draw milkshake machine, NO mention at all of Hamburger University, etc. Also, frozen fries began quite a bit later than you said, the company store I worked at in Columbus, OH (at one time, the biggest McDonald's in the nation and one of the first to offer inside seating) began using frozen fries just before I began, in early 1969.....and Big Macs, which were still new, were prepped in the back room, not in the grill area. Maybe you can cover all this in a part 2.
Oh yeah, trust me, I have much more to cover. As I told someone else, if I were to cover everything McDonald’s did in one video it would be 6 hours long! 😂🤣
I did make a video about the McDonald’s menu through the years and another video of discontinued menu items is in the works. I just need to time to do it all! Thanks for the kind works and take care!
Sounds like you should do a McDonald's documentary.
@@goldsbym FRFR I want to hear that version. As a person who just previously stopped working at McDonald's I'm intrigued. Plus I fear that due to the lack of good management and people's failure to understand the meaning of how McDonald's became so successful it might be the downfall of the company. I hope not because I really enjoyed the experience and admire McDonald's. Which is why I'm watching this now.
@@anobodydontgo3023 it would take a lot of things to go wrong with McDonald's to completely fail. However it is possible. And failure begins when the management and employees give up.
@@goldsbym As someone who has worked at several stores I can tell you that is a major issue. Poor management and customer service. Locations are already suffering tremendously. It doesn't take much. If a person feels like they can't trust 1 or more locations they can get turned off by all locations. The name doesn't change. I noticed unsanitary conditions and a huge lack of customer appreciation. With people hiring their relatives and friends it could be bad on a business scale. People coming in late or not at all and not appreciating the core values. I've worked for burger King, IHOP, opened waffle houses, and I'm currently working for Rally's. I've been in the fast food industry on and off since the age of 16 I'm now in my 30s and I'm very business savvy but my heart is set on being a boss not a worker my whole life so I've never been focused on advancement but I still understand the core values of running a successful business. BUT thanks for your input.
Wonderful video. Couple things I would have liked to have seen though, and perhaps for future videos, are Mac Tonight and the McDonaldland playgrounds.
Also, have to fully disagree about the McBox store redesign, I hate it, and I think alot of others do too. What purpose does it serve to look like every other boring modern chain restaurant?
I wish we had pictures of what the 3-in-1 McDonald’s actually looked like on the inside
I eat at McDonald's maybe four times a year, but watching this made me so hungry! I'm gonna go get me a big Mac value meal tomorrow (with a Diet Coke). ☺️☺️😃
Yes! Do it! Totally worth it! 😁

@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio Of course, i'll check it out! You too man, have a good life! 😎☝🏻
This was really good and informative. Probably like most people The Founder was my introduction to the history of how McDonald's was created along with Ray Kroc. Even in the movie, I didn't see Ray as a thief or did the brothers totally dirty. I respected him for seeing something within McDonalds and went on to make it what it is today. Didn't know he had a daughter or married someone else before Joanie. The brothers not bitter about not getting their royalties, how the big mac got started and so on. Well done
Luckily they named their signature dish Big Mac after Mac, not after his brother.
There's no luck in this story they honestly got ripped off in the end let a guy come and take the fast food blueprint sad

Lmao underrated comment😂😂

This must have taken countless hours to put together. Impressive.
It did, oh it did haha but the end result was worth it knowing much more about McDonald’s that I could even imagine! Thank you!
They have stolen all the materials used here..... None was created by the editor
I wouldn't have guessed it but this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Nicely done and bravo.
