60s is where it's at.

They should bring back that little mascot.

People would accuse them of racism if they did that today.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

and they should.

the entire menu, and company history is cultural appropriation. They literally ripped off a mexican family restaurant

Demolition Man was excellent

We only have 8 years to go until Taco Bell has won the franchise wars and all restaurants become Taco Bell!

I don't think that 80s pic is right. The prices and drink fountain, plus the signage all feels too modern. Maybe the chairs are left over, but I'd like to see a pic from the 80s. I can only find 90s when searching online.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Newer pic, definitely. They just hadn't updated the interior. Best I could find quickly. Here's one from 82, but clearly a custom rather than corporate level consistent interior:

Now that looks 80s!

I'm pretty sure the breakfast menu is really recent. This article seems to back me up on that thought

Edit: oh, yeah. Look at the cars on the left side of the 80s pic lol

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

All I needed to see was the Baja Blast on the menu to know that that picture isn’t from the 80’s. (Others have also mentioned the cars visible which is also a giveaway,

Late-90s, early-2000s McDonald's was peak.

Dollar menu. Pokemon toys. Some has N64 play areas.
