Tell me you weren't alive in the early '70s, without telling me you weren't alive in the early '70s.
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. I assume they're trying to say McD's wasn't garbage at some point in the past simply because they have gotten worse, but... a burger has always been a cheap shitty meal. They just charge a normal meal's price for them these days, because Americans are used to eating expensive shit.
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.
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 https://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.
