i miss the old mcdonalds not the horrible modern aesthetic they all have now
fuck uk mcdonalds dont even have childs play areas anymore

Wouldn't know, my parents loved me.

>>17909567
back when biggie size actually meant something. long gone are the days of a biggie sized combo with a biggie sized frosty instead of a soft drink.

>>17909567
I too miss the yellow Wendy's

It was better when Dave was still living

>>17909654
>It was better when Dave was still living
Dave was a king taken from us to early.

Remember what they took from you.

>>17909567
pandemic hit this place hard. they are now the worst fast food joint just under jack in the box. has anyone else noticed the jumbo jack patty is now a khaki color? did they switch to plant based hoping nobody would notice?

>>17909567
I still remember the $1 JBC
It legit got me through college.

>>17909567
That's how time works. You can't go back, you have to make happy memories to reflect upon when the present gets tough.

I remember the newspaper print Formica tables and the glassed-in dining area with little gold foil ashtrays. Good times.

used not use. illiterate fucking troglodytes

>>17909567
I remember when Wendy's had the salad bar, and you could layer on some baked potato toppings from it, or ladle some chili on top of a platter of tortilla chips to make some nachos.
Also, the chicken cordon bleu was my favorite seasonal menu item, had a really sharp dijon under the bun.

He was a really nice person too. I sat next to him once in Broward at a show(Wayne Newton ROFL). He stood up and waved to the audience for some reason, I don't recall. Dave lived in Ft.Lauderdale. His big charity interest was supporting foster kids, so he as always spreading the word about it. He petitioned Congress to make it tax-free to adopt a foster kid...which still exists today.

I miss when they had the dedicated salt & pepper shakers on every table

>>17909845
I forgot about the tables. I remember those

One of the best days of my life as a kid was when my friend introduced me to the old Wendy's JBC. They were so good.

>>17909567
I never moved from my small hometown and still all the places of my childhood are gone, one way or another. The few happy memories I had get paler and paler every day. Renovations, new buildings, demolitions, bankruptcies… everything is gone. All the people are gone. They never reached out to me or me to them. It all just vanished one day and nothing took its place. Is this what it’s like to die and be forgotten? But I am still alive. Somewhat. And yet the people who know and say my name are fewer and fewer. I tried, you know. I really tried to not be alone. But nothing worked and now it’s all just fading away and I don’t know what to do

The long summer days of my youth, riding my bike to the Wendy's by my house to grab a biggie spicy chicken sandwich combo.

That Wendy's is gone, they demolished the building and that strip mall a couple years ago and are in the process of building some condo or medical building.

>>17909571
is it because "safety" reasons that they removed play areas?
or were there too many shidders and parents forgetting children

>>17909986
The American economy has been in a full blown depression for 15 years. This is why everything is rapidly fading and being replaced with things that yield no value, such as "health care" and overpriced condos like >>17910012 detailed.

>>17909567
I miss the old burger patties. They square obviously but had more flavor and were like 100% more greasy. Nothing compared to a grease filled triple with cheese

>>17910182
agreed

>>17909986
That's American culture for you. Parents throwing their kids out asap, famalies being split between a dozen different states you only see at Christmas. Friends whos connection is only maintained through facebook and the occasional phone call. Very different from much of Europe where we came from. Even just talking to the parents of first generation immigrants gives insight of the vast difference

>>17909672
He was a known kiddie diddler.

>>17910672
You can't just go on the internet and tell lies, man.

think about it, a world that will never know the pleasure of french fries cooked in animal lard, a dystopian sneed oil nightmare they don't even know they're living in

>>17909749
as opposed to illegitimately
what the fuck are you trying to say zoomer

>>17910932
Who the fuck are you calling zoomer when you can't recognize common 2000s lingo?

>>17910048
Probably needles

>>17910048
Probably some horseshit about marketing fast food to kids. Jamie Oliver probably had a sook like the whinging pommy cunt he is and made them tear the play areas down.

>>17910672
No, he wasn't. Dave Thomas was a good guy. Loved by many. Not all old white dudes fuck kids.

>>17910672
How fucking DARE you

>>17909587
My parents also took me to Burger King

>>17909945
Imagine remembering anything pleasant about a place that serves square burger patties. What voodoo has gotten into you?

>>17911197
His grandma told him to never cut corners, you jerk.

>>17910672
Shitting on a dead man, how brave!

>>17910672
I think you're thinking of a different dude

I have been to wendys exactly once in my entire life

>>17911197
Square burgers just taste better

>>17911395
>square, machine-extruded pink slime burger patty that has obviously never seen the touch of a human being
>round patty that evokes the hand-formed ground beef patties of old
Round vs square is as literally SOUL vs SOULLESS as it gets

>>17911442
nope. square is better. it's the shape of the cheese

>>17911442
>hand-formed is circular
hands are square

>>17911451
You never know, his hands might be so fat that they look round.

>>17911451
Make a snowball with your hands and tell me what shape it is, Wendy's shill

>>17911479
This nigga thinks a sphere a circle

>>17911490
Make a snowball, press it flat between the palms of your hands, and tell me what shape it is, Wendy's shill.

>>17911494
Still a sphere because of compression factor, the reason it ends up a sphere in the first place.
You know nothing, anti-wendys shill.

>>17911499
>the STEM autist prefers square shapes and has no human sentimentality or recognition of authenticity
Many such cases!

>>17909880
they write/speak like that on purpose as sign of disrespect

>>17911228
>car runs over child because stop sign is covered by grass
Not all boomers are gifted thinkers

>>17911494
floyd's neck

>>17911451
this nigger just slapping ground beef into cubes, unable to fathom curling his fingers

>>17911442
my brother in christ they are both machine-extruded slime burgers

>>17911530
Based and grammarschizo pilled

>>17910048

>>17911494

Fast food was great 10 years ago and then everything went to shit. I used to love Burger King, but their quality took a nosedive. I can't take the flame-broiled taste anymore, and I sometimes get burgers that are ice cold.

>>17911954
the kids club gang is not 10 years old...

>>17911965
>tfw 10 years ago was 32 years ago

>>17912026
Don't accept it

>>17909567
They took this from you

>>17911031
i legit think its something to do with that

>>17909567
wait what color is Wendy's now then? last time I was there it was all yellow

>>17913009
red and white when i went like 2 years ago

>>17913013
I feel like the last time I went there must have been like 2010

>>17909654
Goddamn right.

I had a JBC chicken nuggets and fries from wendys yesterday and I woke up at 5 am this morning and I've already filled the toilet to the brim with shit twice in an hour and my asshole is in pain
10/10 at least it comes out which is more than I can say for mcdonalds which makes me not be able to shit for 2 days

>>17910932
>legitimate
>Authentic, real, genuine.

>illegitimate
>Not correctly deduced. synonyms: illogical, invalid
>Not authorized by good usage; not genuine.

Yes, he is saying that his statement that the $1 JBC is truthful, genuine, authentic; indeed, you might say legitimate. Reading comprehension you moron.

>>17913164
>that the $1 JBC
that the $1 JBC got him through college*

>tfw suffering in a country w/o Wendy's

In foreign countries, namely china, they have the things you remember. These companies have not trashed what you feel nostalgia over, it is worse. They have reduced what you get to mere slop and serve the quality products they used to get you hooked abroad.
