It’s still always been shit, but it has also gotten worse. I assume they’re trying to say McD’s wasn’t garbage at some point in the past simply because they have gotten worse, but… a burger has always been a cheap shitty meal. They just charge a normal meal’s price for them these days, because Americans are used to eating expensive shit.
In the early '70s a Big Mac was the size of The Whopper at the time, so it was huge. It was also decent value back then, IIRC the Big Mac Meal was like $1.50 back then.
You can still get a version of the original Big Mac at Plant Power these days, but it is completely vegan.
I don’t remember how much McDonalds cost in the 70s. kids tend to not retain that information.
Thing is do remember this. In 1978 I could get a burger from a place called The Duck Inn for 75 cents. It was huge and delicious. At that same place a chicken dinner was $1.50.
Amazingly The Duck Inn is the only restaurant costs I remember from my childhood, because the place was two doors down from where my family and I lived.
I went to college in the 80s and started to learn about nutrition and the environment and found out how shitty fast food was/is.
McDonald’s didn’t turn to shit in the 80s. It always was shit.
Oh I was alive in 70s. I saw Star Wars and Jaws in their openning run.
WTF does that have to do with what I posted?
Because McD’s has gotten worse.

They’ve cut corners somewhere this century and the meat turned to cardboard. Their burgers were tastier when I was a smoker.

No, the big mac was never the size of a whopper. I don’t think it has changed much at all. Look it up.
What did change was when McDonalds was well worth it: 5 cheeseburgers for a buck. But that was the 50’s.
