10 ways McDonald's has changed only those born in 80s and 90s will remember

Whether you're a fan or not, McDonald's is one of the most popular eateries in the UK and Manchester is no different.

Since then, McDonald's has seen lots of changes to its look, logo, and menu. For instance, those born since the year 2000 will not remember The Hamburglar, the McDonald's Playground or even a time when they sold pizza? The reason you don't see them these days is apparently because McDonald's franchises favour more seating and lower land costs. However, McDonald's has built playgrounds in the grounds of various Ronald McDonald Houses in the UK, made from recycled materials, for families to enjoy while taking care of their seriously ill children.Ronald McDonald and Friends Ronald McDonald is the chain's clown mascot who inhabits the fictional world of McDonaldland.

Ronald McDonald benches Some branches in the UK were said to have benches outside where you could sit next to the not at all creepy statue of Ronald McDonald with his arm around you. Personally, in this Instagram age, I think it's something that needs to be brought back. Having a birthday party in the children's area Not really something you see these days, but back in the 1980s and 1990s, the décor in parts of McDonald's restaurants seemed to be geared more towards children. But if you were the kid who was inviting your friends to your birthday at a McDonald's then you'd be sure to be talk of the school.

1990s Happy Meals Although Happy Meals had been introduced to the US restaurants in 1979, it took them until 1986 to appear in the UK. Aimed at children, now many of the Happy Meal packaging and toys from the '80s and '90s have become much sought-after collectors items.
