To be fair, when it looked like that, people criticized them for using all that stuff to get children hooked on junk food. It was seen as exploitation of the vulnerable.

Now that they ditched it all and the advertising and spaces aren't targeting kids so much people say. they miss the warmth and whimsy.

It worked, I still love McDonald's. My middle-aged digestive system does not though.
