McDonald’s in the 70s and 80s was awesome if you were a kid..




Now it’s just depressing.

You didn't become a man until you threw up your Happy Meal on this ride.

And this what it creates. A grown man whining about a playground and calling people gay on the internet.

They literally were shitty, snotty and pissy.

They also were a haven for pedos

I had a birthday party at McDonalds when I was about 10. It was awesome. I guess that kids probably don't do that anymore.

Snapped leg in half on old merry go round trying to stop it to get off (because mom was screaming time to go). by dragging a foot on the dirt which ended up going underneath and snapping. Was driven to ER laying in back of a station wagon.
Also got head stuck on fence around Ronald McDonald after climbing on him and trying to get out. Had to get workers from inside and fry grease to get unstuck.

Still loved the playground.

Corpus Christi had one with 3 hamburgers structures and tunnels that connected them on Astro turf. We would play tag and come home covered in turf burns. Good memories

Small kids piss in playgrounds. And they shite too, and when it’s hidden inside tubes and slides, and tubs of balls, it’s probably not very fun for the people that work there to clean. I don’t blame McDonald’s for getting rid of those. Shits unsanitary

They weren’t that bad in the late 90s/ early 2000s. That’s when the they shifted more to indoor playgrounds. Being a kid in the early 00s, I thought they were the most fun places to have a happy meal at along with a vanilla shake

Not going to read through this thread, but you, Karen braxton, and jaydon need to pitch a blanket while the rest of us climb a tree since you took away our playground because you couldn’t handle it.

Dude, the 70s playgrounds were glorious. That spring loaded Grimace was awesome.

I’m sure some of them were literally shitty.


As for the rest, that’s were a child’s immune system turns into a man’s immune system.

I also had a birthday party at McDonalds. They provided everything, even the cake, which was really good.
