    This Ronald McDonald was actually Willard Scott, a well-known National Weatherman in in later years. In the 1960s Scott was one of The "Joy Boys of Radio" on Washington D.C.'s WMAL morning show. When Scott left WMAL, his show was replaced by Harden & Weaver. Weaver at the time was the guy who was the Smoky The Bear voice. I believe his voice is still used.

Why he always trotted out photos of those old 90-year-old-plus seniors wishing them a happy birthday. Those images were never flattering and, damn-it-to-hell, I was trying eat breakfast.

    Imagine a world where McDonald's goes back to this look, adds a Sonic like drive in function. Uses natural beef with no addictives. Always has a shake machine working. Serves you at your table, outside at your car, in the drive thru, or at the counter, or via delivery.
    They keep the menu small like In & Out. Focusing on burgers, chicken, & the one fish option. Streamlining costs & focusing on quality & speed. They let you play old 50s & 60s music from Jukeboxes that are attached to the menuboard where you pull in & create a fun family atmosphere & have play places inside again & perhaps a little arcade for the kids. They drop the prices by owning the entire supply chain & production facilities as well.
    You pay $1 for a burger $2 for a double cheeseburger & no combo is over $4. Drinks are back to $1 for large again. They go back to hiring 16-24 year olds with management around 22-28 & upper management from 24-36. They only promote from within & make it a place you CAN have a career with, but shouldn't necessarily.
    How can that NOT be profitable?

      I wonder if anyone thought this was creepy. Same with a lot of the cartoons and stuff from back in the day. It seems like "creepy" was the norm for a lot of things, but I wonder why we see it as creepy now when they thought it was aesthetically pleasing enough to produce content with it back then.
