Remember being excited for McDonald’s instead of it just being the last pick ‘guess there’s nothing else’ option? I miss the crisp mcnuggies and burgers that actually had me excited to go there.

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.
