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.

Also probably easier to clean then the old way. The McDonald’s play place  stank still haunts me from childhood sometimes

I distinctly remember that dirty plastic smell, lol. Can't even describe it but it's distinctive.
