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.

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.
