Talking of 1974 - you know what would be fun? a retro 1974 McDonald's.

even bring back the old menu

I'd rather go to a retro 1974 Burger King.

Ashtrays on every table

I don't go to ca 2020 McDonad's so no.

I'm partial to Burger Chef

I agree. It was great then.

I even took a photo once.

I want to go to Burger Chef so Jan Brady can make me a fucking burger!

OPEN WIDE, YOU FAT WHORES!

McGonad's is my kind of place

Big dicks right in your face

Big balls ensconced in lace

Hot hunks of every race

McGonad's is my kind of place,

Get way past second base

McGonad's is my kind of place!

This thread is just clean fun - then you turned up.

Hiss. HISSSSSSS!

R10 in real life:

OP Should just visit some of the Spanish and Italian McDonald's, they haven't been renovated since the early 1980's.

Will they be serving their old recipe milkshakes? If so, I'll go.

Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce

No, OP, I wouldn't go. I have a lifelong aversion to McDonalds. When I was a kid, it was mere dislike of the food. Over the decades, there have accrued lots more significant reasons to boycott McDonalds.

The only fast food franchise I inflexibly hate worse than McDonalds is Chick-fil-A.

Nothing beats a classic Pizza Hut. They’re still out there, but fewer every day.

R13 Don't know about the milkshakes, but they do sell beer in Europe.

Mmm, extra fries extra grease, please

I remember going to McDonald's in Geneva in the early 80s and it was SO good. The standards and superior quality of the the ingredients was remarkable.

“May I hold your pickle, sir?”

I'd like to go somewhere more charming, like an intact Howard Johnsons, or the kind of drive-in restaurant where you parked and ordered through a little speaker and the waitress brought food on a tray that hangs out the window. No roller skates required. That whole style of food service is so covid friendly! I'd love to go to a drive in that could bring me lovely cold oysters and a crab sandwich and a salad. Gaaaaaah.

When I was a budding young Fat Whorette, I loved Burger King's Yumbo sandwich. They brought it back for a limited time a few years ago, but it wasn't the same.

I agree, R21. Someone should do it. NOW.

Many still look that way ...

R6, was that the Burger King in Times Square?

I was more of a York Steak House type.

When did they drop the word "the"?

simpler, happier time

[quote]Will they be serving their old recipe milkshakes? If so, I'll go.

They were so thick it was impossible to suck them thru a straw. But I wasn't American, there was probably a knack.

[quote][R6], was that the Burger King in Times Square?

No, 59th between Madison & Park. Funny that you knew it was NYC.

I took it in 1977.

So funny, I have an album of that trip to America and we seemed to take so many fucking photos of us eating in fast food places. They were such a novelty to us English in those days.

Me too! I was a Fat Whore In Training!

McDonald's "food" is so gross - how they can call themselves a hamburger restaurant is beyond me. They should be ashamed of themselves and I wonder if they will ever figure it out?

How are they any different now? Granted I haven't been to one of many years but isn't this essentially how they still look?

They actually have tried bringing back old-style McDonalds' in select areas.

Great commercial, R33.

Good luck fitting the people of 2020 into those attached seats at OP.

More like a vat of Crisco and a crowbar

The DL favourite 'Ordinary People' has a great scene in a 1980-ish McDonald's. Very much more the IHOP/international decorating scheme. I love the 1974 one, OP!

R37 here again...I missed the obligatory, "Buck would never take a date to McDonald's" jab.

These were the uniforms.

Fine! Go back if you must, but you'll never get to eat in a mouldy McDonalds DC-3 when you're stuck in 1974.

I preferred Gino's in 1974 because of the Gino Giant

Please post it, R29! Love seeing those '70s flashbacks, especially in NYC.
