    McDonald's Corporation is an American multinational fast food chain, founded in 1940 as a restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino, California, United States. They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand, and later turned the company into a franchise, with the Golden Arches logo being introduced in 1953 at a location in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1955, Ray Kroc, a businessman, joined the company as a franchise agent and proceeded to purchase the chain from the McDonald brothers. McDonald's had its previous headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, but moved its global headquarters to Chicago in June 2018.

    There's another museum at the oldest operationg McDonald's in Downey! It's not anywhere near as big as this, but they have a life size Mac Tonight statue and some other cool retro stuff.

    This brought back memories. I totally remember like it was yesterday going to McDonalds with my Brothers or Cousins and friends and climbing into that giant Cheeseburger head thinking it was the funnest thing in the world lol. It didn't take much to keep us entertained back then. Good times.

    Those late 70’s early 80’s toys brought back memories. I was the youngest of 3 and once I started going to school my mom took a job at McDonald’s part time while we were in school. She would bring me these toys all the time when she picked us up from school. Great video!

  • @cgimovieman
    @cgimovieman ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow, it’s neat that that place exists, but it seems pretty threadbare. Especially the outdoor items. Still, it blows my mind to see SO many of the things in there. Just like you, Kurt, I haven’t really eaten at McDonald’s much at all in the past 20-22 years. But growing up in all of the 80’s and 90’s, seeing the span of years in these displays and recognizing SO many things in them, makes me realize just how much we went to McDonald’s in my family too. I grew up in a very small town in northern Michigan, and our McDonald’s, which wasn’t even there until 1984, was literally the only recognizable form of civilization, name brands, or pop culture we had. So naturally it was a big deal when it opened and the whole town flocked to it. I had a couple of birthday parties there, I used to go there for soft serve after my mom’s adult softball games, we occasionally were there weekend mornings for their hot cakes, and I loved getting Happy Meals and those toys. My mom even bought McDonald’s gift certificates for some people in our lives like my school bus driver or mail carrier. And to this day I still have a couple of old plush McDonald’s Christmas ornaments on my tree. The couple from The Little Mermaid and a mother reindeer from earlier. But man, even all of that packaging for the food I remember like it was yesterday.

    Wow, what a museum! Thank you _so_ much for this video. Brought back many memories, even stuff that I had already forgotten about! We had many of these toys - and the same packagings even - all the way in our cold country of Finland! I definitely agree that everything seemed more fun in the 80s...

    I was never a fan of McDonald's growing up; however, one of my daughters lives for McDonald's. So when we returned to Southern California for a trip last March we took our daughters to the museum but it was closed and we had to meet my brother so we couldn't wait for it to open.

  • @__charles__
    @__charles__ ปีที่แล้ว

    i was just reminded the big mac jingle; "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun..."
    mcdonalds stopped deep frying pies in the early 90s due to the perception they were unhealthy. sucks because you really don't go to mcdonalds for healthy food and the current baked version is not good. i basically grew up on mcdonalds as a kid/teen in the 70s and 80s. mcdonalds, pioneer chicken and taco bell were the closest fast food spots near my home and were and after school hang out. the only other places in my small central valley town were a&w root beer, pizza hut and round table pizza (a big hangout after friday night high school football games).
    mcdonalds did taste better back then also. i get craving for it, but when i get it i don't always feel so well after eating it being in my mid-50s now lol.

  • @DarthTrader707
    @DarthTrader707 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really nice. Would have been nice if they had some kind of "working at McDonald's" exhibit. I read that at one time, 25% of all people working, worked at McDonald's as their teenage job. I worked at McDonald's back in the early 80's, when I was 15/16, when McDonald's was still the burger joint restaurant Ray Kroc put in place. Big grills where burgers were actually cooked. It was also back when McDonald's was still a phenomenon, and there were still relatively few restaurants in the city. I worked at the second busiest McDonald's in Canada, so maybe it wasn't typical, but I remember the Saturday afternoon and evening shifts, when there were 10 tills open, and it was 8 deep at every one of them. Two grills cranking out Big Macs with the infamous "turn turn on Macs" (12 more patties are laid every time a set of burgers are flipped) for hours to keep up the demand. Mac buns was a hellish work station that only a select few could actually manage. Those days are long gone, but yeah, it was the classic fast foot burger joint.
