What McDonald's Menu Looked Like The Year You Were Born
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- McDonald’s is arguably the most popular and well-known fast food restaurant in the world. What began as a barbecue restaurant in San Bernardino, California in 1940 is now a global franchise that serves nearly 70 million customers daily.
McDonald’s history has spanned over 80 years, and its menu is not all about burgers anymore. In fact, the menu has gone through some drastic changes over the years.
There are still classic McDonald’s menu items that will never go away, but to be a successful global chain, you have to change with the times. Here’s what McDonald’s menu looked like the year you were born.

Thumbs up if you thought you would see actual menus for each year.🤣
Yes, i was kinda disappointed lol
Yup, there's a reason this channel sucks. Same as many channels, bait and switch
That’s the only reason I watched I wanted to see the menus, especially 1978.
✋🏼
Yess I was lookn for the Year of 1970🤔🤔
My dad drove us kids 12 miles to the nearest McDonalds to us on his payday....going to McDonalds once or twice a month was a huge treat for a kid in the 1970’s...🙂
Probably a treat for mom too. She didn't have to cook that meal.
I’m not born in the 1970 but yes I agree it is a good treat for kids 👍
When my parents had an event or anniversary, we got McDonald's before the babysitter got there. Our favorite.
Even in the 90s it was still
You're so right, Mom took us on payday. Memories 😀
I remember the fried pies - apple and cherry. Burn your mouth on the first bite. They were SOOOO much better than the baked ones.
I used to work at Macs in the 70's. Those fried pies were a headache. Most times 1 or 2 would bust open in the fryer, big mess
They were so crispy and good. The baked ones were so lame by comparison.
They were the best and they were so cheap too. Usually 2 for a dollar. They had this crispy cinnamon taste that you couldn’t get anywhere else. Then they changed them to be healthier which is so dumb, and they are $1.69 for 1 pie now 🤦🏽♂️ we used to always buy pies, not anymore.
@@apollstar1 it’s dumb to be healthier?
I was recently in Hawaii they fry their pies there! Also some islands in the Caribbean still have the snack wrap
I remember the fried apple pies, they were the best, but beware if you bit into one that was recently made, the molten lava apple filling would melt your mouth.
I used to dip em my strawberry milkshake wanna talk about a sugar rush 😋😋😋😋
I was not that smart I was a hungry hound that never learned as a kid🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 😜😜😜😜
I am very disappointed that I didn’t see the actual menus for each year. I clicked on this video for that very purpose.
Same here I was like where TF are the menus at
BOO HOO
Same
That's the reason I came! Darned click bait. 1969 is calling
Plot twist :
_No menus are shown for any year at all_
😂🤣😅
@@nothere928💣💥 😭😂
@@nothere928 [insert harvey weinstein, dave Chappelle little friend]
Except for 1973
But yet I still watched it LMAO
The quality of their fries dropped like a rock when they switched from tallow!!! I remember when they were so so good!!
My first experience with McDonald's, was in Germany. During the early 1980's, my family did this as a special occasion maybe twice a year at most. I was a small child at the time and we would journey far, travelling some 2-3 hours to get there. But once we arrived, it was indeed the most rewarding experience as though we had reached the holy land filled with anticipation and crowded with lines extending well outside of the restaurant. Not unusual to wait in line upwards of an hour or more, just to place the order and obtain seating. I remember how it was a two-story building with what seemed like an amusement park style play place, a powerful incentive for a small child to redeem as the reward for good behavior and eating all of one's food. By the time we were done eating and had spent a little bit of time playing in the play place afterwards, the day would be over upon returning. I would always fall asleep on the way back home, a child intoxicated with what seemed like such enchanting feelings. Kids nowadays, have no idea how much appreciation they should really have for an establishment that's taken as all too commonly for granted. It's amazing how impressionable of an experience it all really was back then.
I lived in Kitzingen back in '85 to '89. It was 2+ hours to get to Pizza Hut. The nearest McDonalds was 30 minutes away. Just before we left, they built one just down the road over an old brewery. Now Germany has these fast food places everywhere. I bet that if you could time travel and get some of that early 80s German McDonald's food and compare it to the garbage they serve today, you'll realize the quality is not the same.
@CCAGENT008 Interesting colorful experiences!
Amen
I recall our "local" McDonalds with no dining room. Once, as my Dad was coming home from work during a snow storm, he stopped there and they were closing early so they gave him BAGS of food free. We kids thought Heaven had come to earth!! 60 years ago. 😊
Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory.
That’s awesome...my aunt worked at McDonald’s as a teen in like 76-78...she still lived in my grandmas house (that’s mine now),,and she would bring bags of cheeseburgers and reg hamburgers home and me and my brother were just kids(7&8) we loved it too...that McDonald’s is right around the corner but their food is gross now .
That's a cute cat
@@N._99 Thanks. So is yours. 🐈
Such a blessing for y'all! Thanx for telling us the story; it's kinda like George Muller, but without the praying, and I'm not even Christian! I'm gonna get flack for stating my opinions and beliefs, but I hope you have a wonderful day!
RIP the dollar menu.. now we have the VALUE MENU that keeps going up in prices !!
when raise minimum wage to $15 see price go up lol
If even teens getting their first job are making $15 an hour, prepare for the "value menu" prices to look a lot more like the regular menu does today, and the regular menu to rise to near fast casual/gourmet burger joint levels. Nothing isnt without consequence..
What do you expect?? Everyone wants $15.00 per hour. Cost has to be paid if people demand increases in pay.
I'm wondering why people are answering you with replies about $15 an hour when the minimum wage hasn't even been raised yet. The prices have been going up without any minimum wage increase.
@John Doe Absolutely it will, and they know this. The people it will hurt the most are...wait for it...the ones making $15 per hour. Most of them wont have full time hours at that wage (closer to $18 hr the employer is paying) and even if they do..baseline prices will rise to meet the new pay baseline.
I miss the orange drink...and wish all of the McDonald's restaurants would follow the standards that was put in place to make them successful 🍔
That slow cooked barbecue sounds way better than a freaking Mc-rib!
The fried apple pie needs to come back nationwide
I agree! But it would need a separate fryer. They don’t sell enough pies to do it cost effectively
That’s why I like Popeye’s apple pie, they fry them there, same with Checkers/Rally’s
@@AvenueD417 I didn't know this.....Guess where I'm going to check out for apple pies?
Yup
Yes...They need to bring back the original fried pie crust...
I loved my 80's Big Mac served in environmentally incorrect styrofoam. Such memories.
@Bernard Sutter Why do you people love abortions?
@Bernard Sutter because honestly who cares, world's already shit and im lucky if i get to my 70's without cancer or bullshit like that!
@Bernard Sutter the foam container resulted from tree hugger morons protesting the paper wrappers. Make up your enviro-nazi mind boy.
I live in cincinnati in mcdonalds is nasty these days
And the old fries 🍟 cholesterol made them
better.
I grew up in the 70s and the quarter pounder was my favorite. I used to buy two and make my own double quarter pounder before it became a thing. I would also add fries between the two patties. I can't be the only that did this right?
*Fun fact!* The McDonald's brothers opened the first McDonald's in 1940. But when it was taken over by Ray Kroc in April of 1955, it became an all new company from scratch. It became a Chicago based company ever since then. The 1st McDonald's built under the new corporate McDonald's was in Des Plaines Illinois. (A Chicago suburb)
Today McDonald's World Headquarters is located on the former Harpo Studios property where the Opera Winfrey Show was taped. McDonald's moved into this brand new 400,000+ sq,ft. building in 2018. There now 3rd location since 1955 in the Chicago area.
It even has a fully functional McDonald's restaurant and is home to Hamburger University. Plus a few blocks away their is a 19,000 sq,ft. McDonald's restaurant that is the same size as the Orlando McDonald's which often boasts of it being the largest entertainment McDonald's. (Also 19,000 sq,ft.) The Chicago location however is built on the former "Rock n Roll" McDonald's site.
Technically that makes the World Headquarters (Global Headquarters) the largest McDonald's on Earth. Followed by the Orlando and Chicago dedicated restaurants at 19,000 sq,ft. As the largest dedicated restaurant's.
Note: Chicago is also home to the world's largest Starbucks on the Magnificent Mile too just south of the John Hancock Center. (875 N Michigan Ave) 🙂
I worked at McDonald's in high school in 1979-81. It was during the company's Golden Years when they held the #1 spot in the industry. The food was great and the job was fun. Lots of good memories.
I worked there during the mid-'80s in high school, food was good back then.
@@Jimbo898 hey, I'm curious, what do you think has been the biggest change? I've heard a lot of people say that the food was better in the past, but what was the difference exactly? I'm guessing materials were of higher quality and less processed but I don't know...
As a kid in the 80s it was my favorite. I agree by the 2000s total trash
did you give any of your co workers your big mac
@@kimrok1 Me to I remember when Taco Bell was considered a higher end restaurant and had real beef in the much larger tacos.
Growing health concerns caused the fried apple pie to become baked. Immediately after, the McFlurry, literally ice cream and candy, is mega popular and still exists today. People pretending to care about health concerns when it comes to food is incredible.
Think of the time period though- at that point they were demonizing the helllllll out of fat/oil. Sugar was still totally fine in the publics eyes for a handful more years
I remember the McRib back in the 80s.....they never should have got rid of that!
Saw McDonald's pizza in Utah while visiting and in Florida at Disney world. It never came to Arizona, not sure why.
The ice cream machine has been broken since 1995 😂😂😂
McDonald's should start a "McDonald's Classic" branch - cheap, carry-out only, limited menu. Hamburger, cheeseburger, fries, soda, shakes, pies. Everything fried in animal fat.
Good idea
Would never happen but sounds nice
@@smoothpotato957 you can get away with it in more rural towns where people don’t bitch or complain.
Absolutely!! I still like the taste ? But !! It’s so commercially out of control. It’s a joke
They need to make a vegan mcdonalds. Billions of animals are suffering daily.
This was put together very well Thank You
It would have been nice to see the menus from at least 5 year intervals over their history.
McDonalds in the 1970s was SOOOOO GOOD
The buns were all toasted on the spot, the meat was cooked on the spot, and it was so different than it is today
In the 1980s they changed EVERYTHING, to make it cheaper, and it sucks now
I wish they would go back to the old days, or even the 1980s
When they had the styrofoam containers,. and the McDLT
Wow, that was an awesome sandwhich
We were also told to call the deep fry lard shortening lol.
Yep. Worked the grill as a teen in the late '70s. We were to call it carmelizing the bun not toasting.
@@Steven-xd5kn the shortening was beef based too
That tasted so good
When they switched to plant based it forever killed the McDonalds frys
Yup, they were awesome burgers and the best fries in the world. Sadly...no longer. The fries suck now.
Beef tallow
I don't know why the McDLT was so good, but man was it ever.
I agree is war their best tasting sandwich
Yep! Big mac, mc DLT, a quarter pounder with some cheese, fillet of fish, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a happy meal, mc nuggets tasty golden fries, ok I'm done
They need to bring McDLT back
Mainly cuz it kept the hot side hot & the cold side cold😁
The McDLT was bomb. Aww memories...🥰
I was born in 1985 , my favorite breakfast items from McDonald's is the breakfast burrito and the sausage McMuffin yummy 😋🤤
My step mommy used to get McDonalds for my brother and I in the late 60's 5 days per week. The other 2 days it was peanut butter on saltines for dinner. We ate breakfast and lunch at school during the week. On weekends, breakfast was one piece of toast with no topping and there was no lunch. The weekly McDonalds dinner was a .15 hamburger (never the .20 cheeseburger), a small fry, and a cup of water. We subsisted on this menu for nearly 4 years until my step mommy hit Pappy on the head with a pan and left us. We made it better after that.
Where were Mammy Yokum and Lil Abner when all this was going on?
Sounds like you grew up in West Virginia??
You're from the Appalachian area?
@@fukcensorship9395 And how would that match up?
Fries were way better cooked in beef tallow and the Apple pies were better fried.
The bus always stopped at McDonald's on the way home from track meets when I was in high school in the 80s. A Big Mac, med fries & medium coke was $2.79 (there were no meal deals then) with tax, exactly $3. The exact same thing at a local McDonald's now is 9.29. If Ala Carte, it's more expensive. Federal minimum wage then was $3.35. Now it's 7:75. Inflation has risen more than wages.
In 1980, a concert ticket for Van Halen was around $10.
I made $12 an hour.
That ticket now would be over $100
LET’S GO BRANDON!
McDonald's has said, I don't know if it's true, that their original price of 15 cents for a hamburger is more expensive than it is now adjusted for inflation.
@@caliscribe2120 Would be $3.01 in 2022.
absolutely and as a result the working class in now the working poor
Wish McDonalds was still the way it was when it started. Better food, better service, better people.
Big Mac, Filet o fish, quarter pounder ,French fries, icy Coke, thick shakes, sundaes, and apple pies. I honestly remember that without looking it up on RUclips. That commercial got planted in my head decades ago.
I miss how it all tasted in the 70's. It's basically all crap now. Not just McDonald's but all of them. Burger King actually cooked burgers by flame in front of you. Smelled and tasted so much better. They changed everything to make it "healthier " but it's actually worse than ever.
actually, it isn't
This is what I'm saying, all these peeps today seem to forget the big beefy McDonalds of the 70s
@@Mike1614b ...as the world developed more synthetic forms of material and textiles...
It also formed other materials into our food....
Simply put...today's foods are more harmful than ever before because guess what...40 year ago, we didnt have a population capable of doing global harm, therefore obviously our food was grown naturally as guess what!??! 80 percent of the land was FARM LAND!!!...what are ya, a Millenial?...😒
@@Inlinetodie was the meat in the hamburgers thicker?
@Blueberry Bomb 😁
The menu when I worked there had the chicken fajita on it. I absolutely LOVED them, and wish they'd bring them back. The only thing that remains from them are the breakfast burritos, which were released at the same time.
I was also there when the McFlurry was introduced.
Disgusting dry mess let it be off the menu forever
The fajitas were the best. Simple and tasty. Chicken, bell peppers/onions and picante sauce.
Ironically enough, their "Mexican" dish was better than anything on the Taco Bell menu! (except for their Mexican Pizza...That was epic)
Does anyone remember them serving Pizza? They did in Ohio for a short time but quit because they took too long to make.
those were the best!!!! i want those back so badly
@@cordiagabert2573 I live in Ohio and remember the pizza's.
The Arch Deluxe was so good, I wish they brought it back
I still don't understand why some people don't consider fish, meat. And it's not a secret. It's equal parts thousand island dressing, mayo, ketchup and relish.
Last year, I paid $5.87 for an egg McMuffin, hash browns and a large orange juice at the McDonald's restaurant in town.
Last month, I paid $8.75 for the same meal. Last week, I paid $9.20 for the same meal. Farewell, McDonald's. It's been fun.
and if you noticed EVERYTHING has gotten smaller except for the prices of course!
And if it's like the McDonald's in our town, it's a 15-minute wait to get your food. "Fast food" is a thing of the past.
Dollar menu + ramen is how alot of us are alive today!
Great video thanks
I remember walking up to the McDonald's window, placing our order and eating at picnic tables. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers (cheese cost a whole 5 cens extra), soft drink and shakes. And we liked it.
McDonald's was a completely different restaurant back then, wow
Lol I really wish I actually COULD find a barbecue sandwich on someone's dollar menu💃🏾😋
Micky D's was at it's best when they had a limited simple menu, cooked the burgers on the grill, had the food under heat lamps (so the service was fast), fried the apple pies, and used natural beef tallow to cook the fries. Sticking to simple is what In-and-Out does and that place is loved. McDonalds is just meh.
@@zzdoodzz The beef tallow fries were certainly very tasty, the change to vegetable oil wasn't welcome.
The simplest thing they do now is really the only thing I eat there, sausage, cheese, english muffin. Done.
The new chicken sandwich is horrible, and in my "independent testing" at four locations was uniformly overcooked, dry and generally tasteless. The pickles? Meh also.
Disappointment on a bun with mayo.
I'd love to see an In-and-Out near me soon.
@@djgrandprix The Big Mac is still mostly the same. Fries are almost a throw away in my opinion, I know there are people that say they are the best but I remember when they really were better. I had a fried pie (coconut) when I was in Hawaii, that brought back some memories. I agree the chicken sandwich is on the same level as an elementary school free lunch. Best chicken sandwich (from fast food) is either Chick-fil-a or Popeyes, both are damn good.
When I was a kid they didn’t fuk up the order…
Egg McMuffin came out in about 1973. When I started at McDonald's in January, 1974, the Egg McMuffin was served open-faced in a cardboard box, with a small container of grape jelly, and a plastic knife.
Fun and fascinating video.
My older brother took me to McDonald's for the first time when I was 8 years old in his brand new black 62 Chevy Impala SS. He bought me a hamburger, fries, and coke for 45 cents. 68 years old now and still eat at McDonalds from time to time
I get so irritated when customers are like "gimme a hamburger". Did your grandmother not teach you manners? Service workers are ppl too. Gimme a baseball bat.
Gimme a break
Ever dealt with a testy service worker behind the counter?
Customers are ppl too.
Everybody hurts.....
Sometimes
Don't worry, you'll be replaced with an automated machine soon.
Well, bad to see how customers are, however no personal values today, along with grammar.
Haha, I’m always very nice to people that are handling my food, especially before I get it.
@@memyself898 yo, the key to automation is to automate everything. Even your job. Whether it be fast food, trucking, shipping, manufacturing, etc. You just laughing at yourself
The ice cream machines have been broke down sense the early 1970s😂😂😂
I remember the first time I went to a McDonald’s in 1965 when I was a kid, one of the first in the San Fernando valley in California. All glass building with 2 large Golden Arches down the sides. Menu was way smaller back then. Served thousands per year back then.
I remember going to the McDonalds on Main street in Jacksonville FL in 1965 or so. I remember it clear as day as they had the "Batmobile" on display and i watched Batman on TV twice a week. I was so disappointed when it wasn't the "real" batmobile but some junker painted in batmobile colors.
I watched the whole vidéo without any regrets very intertaining 👍
The first McDonalds I visited was in 1962 and the food was great! It was just cheeseburgers, hamburgers, fries and coke
Mine was in 1964....over 3 Million Served!
@Daniel Loveland Whats the problem with it being cheap? Are you those gucci girls that blah blah blah about money or what.
@Daniel Loveland I cant even get a job lol, I'm not even old enough. And I'm not trolling so I don't know what you are talking about.
@Daniel Loveland I was just asking whats the problem with food being cheap.
@Daniel Loveland ok but that has nothing to do with food being "cheap"
In 1967 when I was eight years old my family moved away from a rural area where there were no McDonald's to a suburb bordering Boston Ma where there were plenty of stores including a McDonald's only walking distance away from home. Being a little kid I had no money back then and the smell of McDonald's was so good it was torture. Back then the McDonald's made their own french fries. The store had a machine that peeled and washed whole potatoes and another machine that cut the potatoes into fries. The Filet O Fish was my favorite....but being a little kid I had no money and so I had to wait until my parents took me there to eat.
They made their own fries? That's awesome ngl
I'm from the UK and we've only had McDonald's in the country since '74.
Though I'm only 21, so I won't be able to remember what British McDonald's was like circa 2005 sadly.
One thing that I do know though is that McDonald's killed off the Wimpy brand here in the UK. The South African/American chain really caught on here and was all the rage back in the 60s/70s. They used to serve the most incredible stuff, like coca cola and vanilla ice cream in a glass etc.
Being an 02 child and seeing that the last era they felt like including was 2002 really validated me as an adult. Thanks guys
I worked at McDonald's in 1972, my first real job. Back then the majority of employees were like me, high school kids excited to have gotten a job and eager to make a good impression! When we put together a Big Mac for example we put a cardboard ring around the assembled burger, put it in a box and served it that way. We smiled and worked hard even if it was cleaning the parking lot or restrooms. Today, the adults who work there full time don't have that same level of pride and attention to their customers. As a result the sloppy way you get a burger looks like the result of a "ring toss" game where they throw the ingredients towards the bun from across the room. Not to put all the blame on the workers though, management needs to be trained to create an environment of pride and teamwork and ensure their workers are well-trained for their positions.
It no longer about "taking pride in your work"!!! It's all about moving product and the all mighty dollar!!
Same here started in 1972 $1.65 per hour as part of high school work exprance program
Here where I live, most of the employees can't speak or understand english. Shame.
Today, most of what passes for the staff at fast food places act like they've either stoned, got a gun to their head or they're on furlough from the penitentiary.
The year I graduated. It sure is a different world now. People thinking a McDonald's job should pay for a house mortgage.
In 1979, I came home from summer camp. My mom and aunt picked me up. I was hungry, so before we got home, my mom went to a Mickey Dee's drive-thru and got me a Happy Meal. I LOVED it! I was so happy, so I guess it worked, lol.
Thats a sweet comment
Bless you
I was born in 1542 in my day they only served cold porridge and giant turkey legs
those were the days man
That actually sounds better than Macdonalds as long as you heat the porridge.
Must've been a regional menu but mine only had mead and gruel.
@@jaycue7641 man, mine had spiced gruel and half eaten feral flesh
😂😂
You gotta love how people in the 70s thought eating healthier meant eliminating red meat and eating deep fried battered chicken, (or whatever that stuff is), instead.
You mean how people now think eating "beyond meat" is healthier than the meat itself
I'm old enough to remember when every fast food joint had BBQ beef and pickle sandwiches! Lived on those as a kid.
I remember the Big Mac chant....2 all beef patties, special sauce, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions all on sesame seed buns. Say that 5x fast!!!
psst: switch lettuce and cheese around, and ya have it perfect; oh, and not 'all on', but 'on a' ... then take the s off buns.
Good memory, though!
@@leeann4900 ok...thanks. Wasn't sure if I got it right.
@@leeann4900 officer big mac, that you?
The arch deluxe was actually pretty good.
I was born in 1948 when burgers were 15 cents, but I never saw a McDonalds until the 70's since I grew up in small towns in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. I was in the US Navy stationed on the east coast in the 80's when I first tasted their burgers.
4:39 2022: Big Macs haven't looked like that for 40 years.
funny how they switched out healthy beef tallow for the industrial omega-6 sludge known as "vegetable" oil
Bring back fried apple AND cherry pies and McDonaldland cookies. While they're at it, they should bring back the Arch Deluxe for a limited time they were delicious. McDonald's needs to start frying their fries in beef tallow again too.
the healthy eating yahoos took care of that. tasty fries wont be coming back!
The changes started when they got sued, for having to hot of coffee. So I'm guessing none of the good things are ever going to come back.
I have to watch RUclips videos to see inside a McDonalds. None of the Michigan locations re-opened the dining room since Covid shut them over a year and a half ago. Now they claim staffing shortages are preventing them from opening.
You completely overlooked one of my short-lived favorites: the "Mickey D". It featured 1/3-pound beef on a French hoagie bun with a splendid sweet sauce. It was on the menu in 1993-94.
Are you talking about the super hero sandwich?
The first ever big mac I bought in the U.K. back in 1982 was probably the most disapointing experience of my life .As I opened the small styrofoam box it belched feted steam in my face and I thought someone had already eaten it.
To be honest they still suck
Turns out that Beef Tallow is actually more healthier for you than vegetable oil. Of course the vegetarians and vegans ruined the French fry. Go to Europe and see that beef tallow is still used for Pomme Frite in Belgium (birthplace of fries) and fish and chips in the UK.
When i worked there in 1991 or so, the box if oil was solid and said "formula x-10" or something like that....no clue what it was but it tasted good.
I have been saying this for years! The only place in the USA that I know of that uses beef tallow is the Heart Attack Grill.
That's true. The industry name for vegetable oil is seed oil and it is not edible. It has to be heavily processed in a factory first.
Joke's on vegetarians (at least in the US). The use "natural beef flavor," which is a derivative of beef fat.
@@jabom99 mostly canola oil. But in some places canola is called rape seed.
This exact McDonald style fast food restaurant next to the high school I went to in northern MN
Plus A&W Pizza Hut 😂
The best junk
Not a massive Maccies fan but I can safely say with confidence The Big Tasty was the greatest burger they ever came up with had the best sauce as well remember as a kid trying the largest one they did and it was insanely good.
My favorite burger too. Similar to a Whopper
McDonald’s*
Still haven't had a McDonald's meal since around 1988 and from what I hear, the meal still wouldn't have rotted away.
Well, aren't you better than the rest of us!
@Daniel Loveland doesn’t matter I love Jesus Christ and God and that all that matter
Well done!!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
FTW, Big Macs, and McGriddles.
I’m STILL miffed about the apple pie changed to a baked style.
in Canada we can get fried pies at A & W and Harvey's. McDs can keep their "healthy" pies.
15 cents for a burger?! 😭 oh how times have changed
Biggest crime against humanity was when the apple pie went from fried in beef tallow to baked. There is NO comparison. Hear you can still get them this way over in the UK.
Big Mac "secret" sauce ain't as secret as they'd like you to think. It isn't anything but 1000 island dressing.
(Everybody knows this)
I remember watching The Dinah Shore show back in the mid 1970's, and one of her guests was John Amos, from the show Good TImes. John had worked as a manager at a McDonalds before starting an acting career. At the time, the Big Mac jingle was very popular, and Dinah asked John what the "secret sauce" was. John told her it was thousand island dressing.
@@amb2745 its thousand island dressing with extra salt and seasoning.
Bring back the orange drink.
It's called Orange draaank!😂
They did already, I guess it hasn’t reached all locations yet
It never left around here
Its back now
It’s back.
I liked the pizza, but I liked taco bells version also. If u asked for salt & pepper it made the Mc Lean taste better. I like the chicken nuggets, and the quarter pounder
🍔🍕🍦🍟
I miss the original Cheddar Melt (their version of the patty melt) they used to sell alongside the McRib around St. Patrick's day.
What’s up with the robotic diction of the narration? 🤖
I hate it when they do that robot voice
I was never really bothered by it until you pointed it out and now it feels very unsettling and the pacing is strange
It sounds like a more sophisticated text to speech program. Its unsettling to think of because the technology could likely put many voiceover artists out of work in the future.
Yep..you're watching it all unfold..Even Narrators and Hosts are going to be falling victim to the infamous AI..and to think it all started with people going into the Self-Checkout lanes, because people wait for nothing in good ol' Merica!..
These robots are getting and sounding more human like every yeae
Things started going down hill when they got rid of beef tallow for french fries!
Wow.I was born in 1972.This video is wonderful.:-)😀
11:15 "We see you are considered with your health. So our pies are baked now, not fired"
"In other news, you like ice cream? How about ice cream and candy put together? In a cup!"
The first McD's I was ever at. Was the old style with stand up only 'shelf' and no seating at all. The deep fried apple pies and the old fries where way better tasting being cooked with beef tallow.
Which year was that / how old were you?
You are so right...The fries & deep fried pies never tasted better...I worked there when they changed the fries...
@@huzz1649 In the early 90's...
They still have beef flavor in em

I was born in central Ohio, in 1970. I remember in 1980, they introduced McChicken, which was completely removed from the menu in only a few months. It wasn't until '83 that Chicken McNuggets appeared and finally the McChicken came back to stay. The item I miss the most was "Cheddar Melt" from around 1990. There was a McD in the basement of the building where I worked and I would get Cheddar Melts sometimes more than once per day. I loved that!
Loved cheddar melts
What was the cheddar melt? Grilled cheese?
@@tenaciousone4721 it was a burger that had onions on it that mixed with this medium thick cheese sauce they put on it and the onions were cooked but still had sone crunch to them.
@@tenaciousone4721 actually the grilled onions were more grilled than i thought.
The commercial for how they make it is on RUclips. I was surprised i found it.
@@toasteee252 I will have to look myself, thank you for the information. I am a little bummed I am allergic to onions so it would not have worked.
I was born in 2001 and even then, fast food or really any restaurant was a big deal. Now it’s such a regular thing. I remember being so excited when my parents would take us to McDonald’s
Same here, love me a Maccies
the $1 menu was more successful then they could have known. Got people (like myself) started on a life long relationship with the D.
I’m a recovering McDonald’s Diet Coke addict.
So is my grandmother but it took her getting gangrene in her Gail latter which the only thing that could have been the reason was the artificial sugar. She quit the diet coke and picked up an ice tea habbit
The straw is the key. Allows more CO2 to reach your nose. Most taste is smell. A bigger straw, is the secret. Also they have a special blend with Coca, -Cola.
I was born in 2005... so I guess McDonalds was closed that year.
Lol
That is true. Now that you bring it up, McDonald's was in fact closed that year. Man that was crazy! Seeing all of those dark McDonald's. Why they did it, I have no idea. But they did! Oh, the memory's you are stirring in my brain!
the best & biggest (when put together) mcdonalds toy was and IS the Inspector Gadget based toy based on the first live action movie, not only we're the parts fun to play with by themselves but was fun collecting them to make multiple inspector gadget figures in 1999
I e been reading through all these and remember something about the fries no one has mentioned. They were made fresh, from real potatoes. They had a hand operated machine. Put the potato in the top, pull a big handle down and sliced French fries would come out of the bottom. I went to our first one in Midwest in the early 1960’s. A burger, 15c, fries, 10c, drink, 10c. = quick meal 35c. Of course my dad would eat three burgers. So 65c. LOL.
By the 1970's though, they fries were frozen. And most people remember the fries from the 70's up to 1990. The old days when they peeled them in that machine that looked like an old dishwasher didn't last very long. The fries were more crispy in the 1960's.
I remember when happy meals use to be 1.99 an they were a 6 piece nuggies
I thought i only called them nuggies . Luv it
2:57 so that's why McDonald's fries stink now and why I don't eat there anymore. Fascinating. Disappointing but very fascinating.
I loved the Arch Deluxe ! I started my first job at McD's in 97 and used to Slam some Arch Deluxe.
McDonald's was most definitely my favorite restaurant when I was a kid, growing up in the 70s and 80s.
BIG MAC SAUCE
1/2 cup mayo
2 tbls French dressing
4tsp sweet relish
1 tbls minced onion
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp white sugar
I place all ingredients in a bullet blender ACCEPT THE SWEET RELISH. I blend it for a minute, stir it relish by hand then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
hmmmmm sounds a lot like. . .
thousand island salad dressing
@@stevensenlacere1619 Tried thousand islands and my wife and agreed that it is wrong. But we agree with this recipe which was from a web site that had the sauce chemically analyzed (reverse engineered). But if that dressing suits you.
Now McDonald's bottom line is high priced, no taste, and employees that don't know what they're are doing or care in getting your order right.
Going to Burger King....
@@Robert-hr6sh More of the same. That's the reality of fast food.
I love it when you ask for certain things like mcChicken sauce or ketchup when placing your order at the drive thru then they always forget em and you don’t notice til you’re down the road, ima start asking for them as they hand the bag over then you will get them at least😋
@John Doe never going to happen
Not to bad, spicy mcchicken or mcdouble and small fries for 3$ any size fountain soda for 1$ 4$ for those 3 items, who pays 7$ for a quarter pound combo?
I grew up in San Bernardino, CA. My parents took us to the Original McDonald bros. restaurant on E Street in the '50s. My first job was at McDonalds Del Rosa in Jan. '65. The hamburgers were $0.15 at that time. I worked there until August of '68 and rose to night manager when I quit to go to college. My wages started at $1.25/hr. and rose to $1.75/hr. as night manager. I wrote a short narrative of my experiences working there for the little McDonald's Museum near down town San Bernardino.
They used to serve the McDouble with lettuce, tomatoes, and lots of mayo for $2. Today it's just plain two beef patties...
I remember when McDonalds first opened near me, a cheeseburger was $.025 and fries were $0.15. On Friday night we would go to a movie, ($0.50) and afterwards go to McDonalds for fries and a coke.
How much was $.025 then
@@God-uv7xg 😂 probably 8 dollars
The movie theater still charged $75.00 for a bucket of popcorn? Lmao
In germany, the cheeseburger costs 1.50€ (1.70$) and large fries 3.80€ (4,20$)
McDonalds is soo EXPENSIVE oh man it costs a fortune

How I miss those 1980’s chicken nuggets!!!!!! 😫
Big Mac’s in the styrofoam with the ring around them..BEST EVER
As a kid, I remember watching McD workers put the potatoes in a hand cutter which sliced the entire potato into fries.
