Wow, what year is that picture from, McDonald's with a playplace?! We wish things were as nice as they were then

Kids these days will never get to experience the bliss of wading through a pit of plastic balls that all smell vaguely of piss.

I make floor pads for the company that builds the playlands. They still exist, in Canada at least. I sent a whole bunch to Puerto Rico after the hurricane, but they were for Burger King.

I've heard of these things from a documentary from that era called Mac and Me. I think they also routinely held something called a "birthday party" at them. Unfortunately there are no physical records to confirm that I am aware of.
