Tell me you weren’t alive in the early '70s, without telling me you weren’t alive in the early '70s.

I keep wondering when the Reddit fad of bitching about McDonalds will end.
The food is shit. It has always been shit. There was never a time when the food from McDonadls did not suck. There was never a time when eating there was not a waste of money. There have always been better options including better burger fast food chains….
There has never been a time when it was a good idea to eat at McDonalds for a variety of reasons.
So like the idiot who keeps smoking it is entirely that idiots fault.
If you buy food from McDonalds it is entirely your fault.
STFU about it.

Oh I was alive in 70s. I saw Star Wars and Jaws in their openning run.
WTF does that have to do with what I posted?

Because McD’s has gotten worse.
It’s still always been shit, but it has also gotten worse.

They’ve cut corners somewhere this century and the meat turned to cardboard. Their burgers were tastier when I was a smoker.

In the early '70s a Big Mac was the size of The Whopper at the time, so it was huge. It was also decent value back then, IIRC the Big Mac Meal was like $1.50 back then.
You can still get a version of the original Big Mac at Plant Power these days, but it is completely vegan.

No, the big mac was never the size of a whopper. I don’t think it has changed much at all. Look it up.
What did change was when McDonalds was well worth it: 5 cheeseburgers for a buck. But that was the 50’s.

I don’t remember how much McDonalds cost in the 70s. kids tend to not retain that information. Hell I ate at McDonalds two weeks ago and I don’t remember how much that costs.
Thing is do remember this. In 1978 I could get a burger from a place called The Duck Inn for 75 cents. It was huge and delicious. At that same place a chicken dinner was $1.50.
Here is a picture of the place www.shorpy.com/node/20743
Amazingly The Duck Inn is the only restaurant costs I remember from my childhood, because the place was two doors down from where my family and I lived.
I went to college in the 80s and started to learn about nutrition and the environment and found out how shitty fast food was/is.
McDonald’s didn’t turn to shit in the 80s. It always was shit.

I’m not defending Mcds , but everyone can choose to eat whatever they want. Everyone has fast food of any kind everywhere,. It’s not my place to judge whether they eat it or not. You never hung out with your friends at a fast food joint because that’s what you could all afford at the time ?

I think its people being bitten for the first time. I hadn’t been there in years because theres not one near me. When I went a few months back I did do a double take checking the receipt with what I actually received.
I was expecting a low-end shitty budget option. The game changed and I didnt expect it.
