    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.

      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.

      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.

      Here is a picture of the place https://www.shorpy.com/node/20743

      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.
