You also probably didn’t worry about cholesterol, sodium or heartburn from the styrofoam fries and fire-retardant anti-foaming-agent filet-o-fish sandwich back then.

If you’re worried about cholesterol or sodium was any period of McDonald’s for you? At least it tasted good in the 90s from what I remember.

Nostalgia is a powerful flavor.

Oh please. McDonalds fries were better tasting and probably LESS chemically processed back then than they are now. Notice that they stopped serving fries cooked in beef tallow but people still keep getting fatter.
