Expert Posts: 2003 Location: Branson, MO | What a neat picture. I remember those 15 cent burger days but I didn't realize "Ronald McDonald" wasn't on the scene yet. I wonder what the figure used back then was and when Ronald the clown came into the scheme of things. The Golden Arches are there though. | ||

Judging by the looks of today's crap maybe they were 40 years ahead of the times????? Edited by sidesho_bob1961 2016-04-21 6:45 AM | ||
