The Golden Arches

  1. The good old days when Mcland actually had flavor and you could smell the burgers cooking. Not Anymore, gone to cardboard flavor & I don't think they cook anymore but brought in cooked and frozen only to be put in hot water to keep warm if that. Idea: boycott until they return to the original idea: burgers, fries and shakes. That's it folks.

    1. They’ll never stop selling sodas and coffee. Those items plus fries account for most of the profit.

    2. I remember saying the same thing in a conversation with my brother-in-law (when he was in business school). This was in the early '90's. We agreed the "McDonald's Classic" would make enormous amounts of money.
      So, they did it.
      Oh, wait. No they didn't.
      That was In-and-Out Burger.
      Now a multi-billion per year business,
      ...selling what people want, not what the marketing guys think people want.

  2. Think that's a picture of the one in Columbus, OH in 1957

  6. Better French Fries and much safer to patronize back then.

  7. Golden arcs?? (Wink)
    But seriously I heard rumor they may be phasing tallow back in for the fryers…a start but would take much more than that for me.

  8. Like a time machine photo back to a time and a world that no longer exists.
