The "McDonaldland" promo brings back Ronald and ALL of his crew, with a new shake and collectible tins. I miss when places were colorful and whimsical like this.

I'd go more with "putting a propeller hat on a depressed adult and changing nothing else."

I loved the McDonaldland era as a kid. My grandma would always buy me the cartoons on VHS.

Since Ronald made the scene Mcd has targeted kids. The playland was looked as a knock off of other 70s kid shows.

I don't know why the first thought I had when I saw Ronald McDonald was "oh shit they released him?"

Red and Yellow were chosen as McDonald's colors to be so garish and uncomfortable that people wouldn't want to spend any time in them. Get in, eat, get out. Fast as you can please.

this is why i will forever hate the supersize me guy
because of that documentary mcdonalds erased all its whimzy and looks like the inside of an ikea these days

and the worst part is the documentary was full of shit. no one has ever been able to replicate his results and many have tried. someone even lost weight trying. if everyone who has replicated his documentary and no one has ever gotten the same results its very obvious he was lying

I've seen some people talk about how they prefer the modern, sleek look, and I'm always confused. Feel like some people here are those people from Squidsville as they want everything to be sterile, and straight to the point rather than having some character.

The problem with trying to appeal to everyone is, at some point, when the only thing left is literally just a name, you can only be judged on the objective metrics such as quality and price. Arguably, Mickey D's never quite was the standard of quality for when you wanted to eat a burger (although I will defend their fries till I die), but even the price-to-food ratio is abysmal nowadays.

You can call it deceptive or whatnot, but giving Mickey D's some personality at least can make the burger feel a little different.

That creepy dreary music coupled with the visuals gives the whole thing a soul-crushing nightmarish vibe. It's like a bad acid trip.

Why not just bring back the Arch Deluxe at this point?

The world is finally ready for it.

McDonaldland though? Not really. Ronald McDonald is still important to the brand and Grimace is great for Mets memes, but nobody cares about the nostalgia.
