Vintage 1960's McDonald's Commercials

McDonald's commercials from 1966 - 1968. McDonald's is your kind of place.

[@stebaer]

Hearing the jingle of McDonald's is our kind of place it's such a happy place returns many memories to me.

[@GarnetBailey-jg5wz]

Based on the old Gospel song "Down By The Riverside". :)

Like on Sunday evenings once in a while my mother would take my sister and me to mcdonalds then the local movie theater igf good we were and did get good grades in school real treat then I miss those days happy memories

I bought a Big Mac the other day, the first time in 8 years and boy was it small and expensive. AUD $6!!!!! For something that was about the size of a cheese burger. Big Mac's used to be around $4 and you got more. Now you pay more and get less. :(

[@SteveCarras]

Amanda P. lol Amanda you mean you'd rather eat fifty year old food. Just kidding

[@gargantuaism]

Why does everybody think that? When was McDonalds the greatest and biggest burgers in town? It's always the same and it's always pretty good and there never was any other recipe that was so much different.

[@meldaghost]

Amanda P. .. Back then they fried the burgers.. used good oil for the fries... big mac sauce was different..

[@gargantuaism]

Tell us what was different about the BIG MAC? How was the sauce different? Tell us the recipe of the sauce the way it used to be and how it is now.

Yes, they were.

[@l0sts0ul89]

True but due to the high ammount of cholesterol you'll die faster

Yup. Their fried apple pie was also great up until 20 years ago, they used to be fried in lard. Then they switched to hydrogenated oils claiming it was a health thing, only for us to all learn that transfats were even far worse than lard.

[@3rdcoastghost]

[@Chefpavel]

@@3rdcoastghost I just remember their signs back in the 70s touting "over 100 million served" but never admitting to how many were actually eaten. Also, my dad was an organic chemist and consultant to the food industry who told me things you don't want to hear.

There couldn’t be enough angus cows in the world for McDonalds to serve. Where do you think they get their beef?

[@Chefpavel]

@@mobzollerthememeguy6765 I have no idea but that's probably why they're eradicating thousands of hectares of Amazon rainforest every year to make pastureland for bovine food sources. I was in China in 2000. At that time, my guide told me there were 114 McDonald's in Beijing alone. Nationwide, there are now approximately 3800 outlets but they are being beat out by the Chinese preference for fried chicken and KFC outnumbers them by over 2000.

[@matt2522]

@@HardCold-Alquan “Real teeth” as in rotting teeth that never got flossed? Westerners historically have had abysmal dental hygiene, and there’s nothing charming about it. Veneers are dumb and rotting teeth are dumb.

I wonder how my taste buds would react if I were served two versions of McD's famous french fries - the first as they used to be processed at their potato plants and then cooked in-restaurant in beef tallow (fat), and the second serving processed and fried the current way. I don't seem to have any memories of their pre-'90s, less saturated-fat fries. Many authentic, card-carrying gourmets and food experts used to praise McD's fries back in the fat-fried days as being like nothing else.

The thing about fast food: back when I was a kid it was a special treat.. like a birthday. Or summer vacation & we spent all day at the pool. But now ppl use fast food as breakfast lunch & dinner. Lower income families have no choice.. they're working long hours for little pay. No time to cook.. or even buy groceries. The spike in sales has allowed these companies to pay less & hire less than ideal ppl, leading to less than ideal quality & service. It's a downward spiral. One day in the future there will be fewer fast food options, they will pay better, and cost more. And fast food will return to being a treat.
