I’m an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald’s at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.

I remember a new McDonald’s opening in the 80’s & both Ronald & Grimace were there. I also remember being angry that day because there were too many kids on the playground.

“Mac and Me” propaganda works!

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”
Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.
It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.
