Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** McDonald's

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

Whatever happened to Burger King? It was as popular as McD in Florida back in 
the 1960's-70s.
It's Whopper, a huge burger, was a favorite of the high school boys IIRC.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** McDonald's

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

YES!

It's been a while since I have eaten at Mickey D's. I will sometimes eat at one 
(or Wendy's) if I am imprisoned at an airport and there is nothing else that 
seems cheap and reliable...but the indies!!

When we lived on Lon Gisland there was an indy called All American a town or 2 
over that had excellent burgers, and fries that we could watch being made from 
actual potatoes! It apparently was the dream of every kid in town to work 
there. It was always jammed. It was the big social scene for the local kids. I 
do not recall any interior seating, but the food was worth it.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** McDonald's

[OK Don via Mercedes]

My first memory of McD's is from high school. The burgers were far better
than most of the cafeteria food, which cost $0.35. We would get a bunch of
us together, and ride in the school bus that a friend drove to McD's where
we could buy two burgers for $0.31. Better tasting food for less money. The
more affluent of us would splurge for fries and a drink. The rest of us
waited till we got back to school for water.

Yes, the old days.  I grew up the Huntington area of southern WV.  The first 
McD anywhere around was there.  You walked up to the outside window to order.  
There was no where to sit so you ate in your car.  The restrooms were on the 
outside.  And they did have two arches, but I like to joke that I've eaten 
there since only one arch.  It was a great place to take a date after a movie.  
Hamburger, fries, and a soft drink were very affordable for a high school kid.  

 Anyway, McD been good to me.  I hope each of you have a fond memory of 
somewhere you ate when young.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays,

I remember when the sign first said one million sold, then many years 
later, a billion.   I think the first McD sign I saw in 1961 may have 
said 250,000 sold.  I remember they changed it several times before it 
hit a million.

Shall we change the tone of this McD thread? - How about recall your
first McD visit?  My first McD was a coupon for filet-o-fish so I rode
to Forest Park ~1963 on my ~1938 Chicago Schwinn that I still ride.
Parkey's hot dogs were also memorable for their fresh fries ($0.10)
served in brown paper bag all greasy salted yum.  Also yum was A
Spanish Bar Cake markdown $0.10 - recipe for A Spanish Bar Cake is
online.
Carry on, guys - Roger has asked for a new tone for the McD thread?

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I like the McD's breakfast McMuffin things, lots of fat and protein,
salty.  Not something to eat often, but I find them non-offensive and
satisfying.  Thow in coffee and hashbrown, about $5 or $6 total, away you
go.

Just about everything else on their menu disagrees with my gut, expect once
I had a salad in a cup and that was not too bad.
