Why, yes, I do remember the McDLT. I also remember the McBLT, and the first time they introduced the McRib, and the Arch Deluxe (I actually kinda liked that one).

I also remember Mike Tyson appearing in an ad for Burger King... they asked him if he'd pop a buddy in the mouth for 59¢... he said he would if it was a breakfast buddy... it was an ad for the breakfast buddy tiny-ass breakfast sandwiches.

What's the point of having a burger split in two parts?

 

[tonksy]

The hot stays hot and the cold stays cold and you put them together when ready to eat.
I liked the Arch Deluxe.

I don't remember it cause mom and dad never took me to McDonalds

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

I remember the DLT. I liked 'em. Even after I found out it was beef and seaweed mixed together.

 

[Nixy]

I don't remember the DLT...I do however remember one time McDonalds in the states had little tree planting kits with their happy meals and I saw the commercial and begged my parents for a week and they took me to get one...I didn't know it was an American commercial...I was crushed, don't think I even enjoyed my happy meal

OHMYGOD I HATE THAT!!

I now try and remember to say, "But what channel did you see that on?" It sucks.

 

[abooja]

I love the Internet.

 

[chcr]

I remember when the hamburgers were 25¢.

 

[abooja]

I remember when the bus/subway was $.50 and a slice of pizza around the same.

I'm old.

So is fine wine.

How goes the racing world this year boo?

Not too bad, but I haven't been paying a helluva lot of attention. Your boy, Junior, did finish third on Sunday, however.

Oh, and did you know that Alaska had triple bypass surgery the other day? He's doing okay.

 

[Leslie]

oh wow!

Glad to hear he is ok. Gawrsh that's serious.

Girl, you KNOW better. Only 3 cars finish the race or sumthin?

Dayum. I didn't know. Hope he recovers OK. I'll jump over and send a PM to him today. World needs more folks like him in it.

Well this won't make you feel old...I remember when gas was under a buck a gallon!

The kid drove a hell of a race. Got a lap down because of a tire, and then drove up through the field.

I remember when there was NO McDonald's. LOL

Stop! In the mid-seventies I would drive by anyone who charged more than 50¢ and I remember when I was a kid it being less than 25¢. I also remember waiting in line for it, only being able to fill up on odd or even days or only being able to buy five or ten gallons at a time. Funny the price didn't shoot up 400% back then...

I remember when there was NO McDonald's. LOL

I don't think you're that much older than me (if in fact you are at all). I know there were none in my area when I was very little, but I think the first one opened (in the city, 25 miles or more away) when I was about 6. They started in the early 50's in SoCal though. I got spat out in '56.
