very true op. Thanks for reminding us.

Nostaligia isnt what it is used to be anymore

I was born in 85. I hate McDonald's for the most part but I still get cravings for McNuggets till this day because of when I was a kid eating them.

the new kekburger i heard is really good :^)

I just mix 2:1 beef:pork and cook the patties, freeze them for a few days, then microwave for a minute. Microwave once in the bun for 15 seconds.

Tastes like the same if you have the other 'gredients. The nugs are impossible to imitate though. I'd need to get a chicken with organ meat in it, which is hard to find; usually they only sell the whole chickens without the innards.

the most depressing thing about OP's post is the vacant car with the wound down window.

Sure you did. Home cooking. Unless your family was incompetent in the kitchen McD's always has and always will suck compared to homemade.

>You will never have that McDonald's, or those days, back.
I remember those days. We have it better now. Wouldn't want them back. McDonald's sucked even back then. The introduction of nuggers was the beginning of them becoming more of a ghetto thing than a middle class indulgence.

Remember in the 80's flavor was a rare thing. The only fresh herb commonly available was curly parsley. Olive oil was exotic. Home cooks were more likely to use garlic powder (or garlic salt) than fresh garlic. Brie was the most exotic cheese you could find. If you weren't Italian drinking wine was suspect. Thai food was cutting edge. Salads were still mostly iceberg lettuce, unless you went to a place with a salad bar, which was a big deal.

Fuck that.

>>5633554
OP said it best. McDonald's was better in the 80's because you had nothing to compare it to.

We do much better today in terms of freshness, flavor and variety. I'll grant you, the quality of our meat and poultry has gone to shit since then, but everything else has improved dramatically.

>>5633342
Is that not a thing? I'm sitting next to a car right now with rolled down windows and no one in it.

>>5633283

but it wasn't better quality, they've significantly improved their quality since, then, eliminating transfat, etc

>>5633660

>>eliminating transfat

Lol. There was zero transfat at McD's when they were using beef fat to cook their fries. The whole transfat problem was CREATED later, after vegetarians complained that they couldn't have fries cooked in beef fat. They pressured McD's to switch to something else that wasn't beef tallow...and you know what they chose instead? Trans-fats. It's only very recently that the trans fats were removed. The 80's pre-dated anyone using trans fats. That kind of processed shit didn't exist back then.

McDonalds used natural beef fat (zero trans fats) until 1990. 1990 they switched to hydrogenated oil (trans fat). They didn't switch away from that until 2008.

>>5633639
>404 a year

What kind of salaried job goes over $200 in cash these days? I thought any comp package worth a shit used shares and other shady tricks to keep that money away from the IRS

>>5633677
>The 80's pre-dated anyone using trans fats.
Bullshit. People have been making pies with and frying chicken in Crisco since the 1910's.

>>5633715

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean to imply that trans fats didn't exist back then. I meant that trans-fats were not used by any of the major fast-food chains at that time. Transfats were not typically used as frying oil until the late 80's and early 90's when the cholesterol scare and vegetarian "discovery" that McD's fries were cooked in beef pressured them to find something different to use. The desire to switch to a lower-cholesterol vegetarian-friendly frying oil is what created the explosion of trans-fat use in the early 90's.

White meat is tasteless shit. Bring back dark meat nuggets.

>>5633712
It's a hourly job. I was picked a rough number based how much much I made so far. Without overtime I pull in about 450 a month Not including gas reimbursement. Which is easily double of what I actually spend on gas. I probably keep half of each paycheck as spending cash after rent, car payment, etc.

>>5633499
You're 44 and on a fucking cooking board on 4chan. I want you to think long and hard about why you made such shitty decisions to end up here

>>5633752

>The desire to switch to a lower-cholesterol vegetarian-friendly frying oil is what created the explosion of trans-fat use in the early 90's.
As far as McDonald's is concerned. But Hydrogenated vegetable oils were very well represented in commercial baked goods throughout the 20th Century. And the stuff was used in fast food deep fryers at places like KFC (and every Chinese take out) until recently.

It's fun to try to pin the blame for trans fat use on vegetarians from the 1990's, but more accurately the blame is on vegetarians from the 1910's - the same assholes who gave us breakfast cereal.

Is it the two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce and cheese? Or is it the pickles and onion on the bun? Could it be those sesame seeds? It's the sesame seeds! Says who? Says-who-me!

I miss the old McDonald's, and agree the quality is worse. Like a big mac is smaller than ever and you need to order two (which cost over triple what they used to) to get the equivilant of the old one. For the price you end up paying you might as well go to a mid class restaurant or at least burger king / hungry jack's

>>5633821
Why are you trying to impress a bunch of teenagers and early 20 year olds on 4chan? Is it that hard to get along with people your age that you have to associate with one of the most immature groups on the internet?

You sound like the kids on /b/ ten years ago who used to flip out when they discovered people in their 20's and 30's had found their secret club. Those kids are married now, and probably parents themselves.

i realize that. What I'm saying is after 40, you should probably not be on 4chan during the 9-5 period at the VERY least. Pretty sure the dude is just bullshitting anyways

No tippin' dinner timing' motherfuckas

>>5633877
I'm the 46 year old guy. I work in a creative field, so all 9-5 means to me is a greater likelihood of having to take a business call or a meeting. Work for me is just as likely to happen in the evening as during the day.

I'm only here because I'm into food and cooking, and /b/ has sucked since 2008-9.

>>5633877
I'm almost 40 and in my work there's no 9-5. One day I may have to be in a remote meeting with a team on the other side of the earth, the next day I have a face to face in town.

I don't clock in and out and if I don't come in until noon some days that's totally normal. It's got its pros and cons but unless you work for Volkswagen I think you'll find many white collar jobs are like this now. Welcome to globalization.

>>5633877
>babby's first 9-5

Brace yourself junior, as (or if) your career progresses, the increased autonomy leads to a fair amount of wasted time. Olds COULD spend their idle hours at the office frantically diversifying their portfolios or whatever, but they would be extreme outliers. I'm sure this is all very difficult for your ultra-efficient mind to reconcile. Work on that prefrontal cortex for ~10 years and get back to us.

I was born in '86, friend. Old mcnugs were equal parts awesome and horrifying. I distinctly remember getting something that resembled the tip of a chicken beak in one nugget, and swore off them forever when I got one that tasted like fish. They were delicious when they weren't disgusting though.

I remember those days well. Could never eat a whole 6 piece as some of it was inevitably spit-out material. Ours was built in 1977 when I was 7. Good times, terrible tech. Distinctly remember a large drink being like today's medium, and on down, and that small simple menu.

>>5633552
>Home cooks were more likely to use garlic powder (or garlic salt) than fresh garlic.
There is nothing wrong with garlic powder. It has a different taste then fresh garlic and different uses. I eat a ton of fresh garlic, but still buy garlic powder by the gallon.

>>5634864
/b/ was never good, but it was much more like the Wild West than it is now. Some hilarious crazy shit went down there. It was stupid as hell, but it was funny.
>>5634952
>Old mcnugs were equal parts awesome and horrifying.
I could never bring myself to eat nuggers again after experience one involved a large mass of fat/gristle that bore no resemblance to any piece of chicken I'd ever eaten.
>>5635505
>There is nothing wrong with garlic powder.
Outside of Cajun and Caribbean cooking I know of no use for it. Maybe as part of a marinade? Stuff tastes wrong and cheap to me.

When I owned a 65 Mustang you're fucking right I did. I had to put in inferior lead substitute (or get my valve seats replaced, which I wasn't going to do on an untouched low-mileage car). Said substitute isn't any better for the environment, but at least it doesn't hurt your ittle-wittle feelings.

BTW, soil accumulation of lead was a big reason behind banning it in auto gas (it's still used in aviation fuels). Guess where they mine lead? In the fucking ground, that's where.

Doesn't mean you should go around draining your oil into the ground.

>>5635719
Do you know why soil accumulation was viewed to be bad? Because children might eat the soil next to highways/freeways/autobahns. I shit you not. Google it.

How many times have you seen kids on the edge of the highway eating the dirt? Happens a lot wherever you come from, no doubt, but I've never seen it.

>>5635708
>soil accumulation of lead was a big reason behind banning it in auto gas

The workers who processed the gas were fucking dying with extremely crazy amounts of lead in their brains. It was bad for people, not some frufru environmental concern fuckface.

>>5635719

>>5635820
>your shit isn't any better

Yes it is. I've been nothing but honest. I honestly miss McDonald's from back in the day. I honestly miss Styrofoam boxes. I really did own the book I referenced. I'm not shitposting -- I'm responding to morons. There's a wee bit o difference.

BTW, tell me the whiners bitching about my opinions (and that's what they are, opinions) are anything but entitled "progressives" high on their own emotions. I'll put money there isn't a single one that genuinely uses logic in their decisions. They might think they do, but they don't. Been there, seen that, and I know the difference.

I want my fucking beef suet fries back, I want my fucking airplane-making boxes back (btw, disposable coffee cups are still made of styrofoam), and there is nothing worse than a whiner like you that goes to bat in one thread and therefore thinks they're God's gift to chanland.

That is shitposting. Be the bigger man and ignore them. You're supposed to be better right? Have the better opinions and political outlook? You're supposed to be all rational and logical and not emotional like those babby liberals right? Then why do you have to shitpost?

>>5635789
In the 1920's.

That's like saying because people died from fibrosis in the workplace back in Upton Sinclair's day we shouldn't use fiberglass for insulation.

Try again, douchebag.

Look, I'm not saying leaded gasoline is great, but I am saying a.) I miss it because there isn't a cost-effective substitute that is actually that much better for the environment, and b.) there are soooo many arguments you could use, and you used one that's just plain stupid.

Christ, it's too easy to swat you morons down. Here, have a Big Mac.

>>5635836
And calling me delusional or asking about leaded gasoline on a cooking board isn't shitposting? Really? Where were you, Mr. White Knight? At least I stand up for my statements, unlike you, sniping on the ass end of the argument like a whelp nipping at one's heels.

Oh right, I should ignore those shitposters. Welp, by that logic I guess I should ignore you, too. Nighty night.

Next time you might want to wield your white knight sword a bit less selectively, "pal".

>>5635839

The fumes were harmful. Handling it was harmful. Spilling it on yourself was harmful. I'm not sure why you insist on pretending that wasn't a big deal. It's a pretty simple thing to go back and read about.

>there isn't a cost effective substitute that is better for the environment

...because maybe it wasn't banned for emissions but toxicity. Like I said.

If you're going to do the whole egotistical genius thing on 4chan, at least actually know something first. And I like burgers so stop trying so hard to b8 vegans. It's pitiful. There so many better ways to do it and you chose that one, it's plain stupid.
