I want the styrofoam back. It actually did something to keep your order hot while you were on your way home. Styrofoam packaging was the only reason why the McDLT concept actually worked. The oblong container that was divided in the middle kept the hot side hot and the cool side cool. Styrofoam drink cups though? No thanks. LOL Every now and then, I'd get one of the coffee cups that would spring a leak after about 10 minutes or so. Who hasn't had one of those!?!? It wasn't always a full on leak though. Sometimes it was just seepage. Not much better though, because either way, I still want my coffee to stay on the inside of the cup until I tell it otherwise.

I did see the word "peace" in the driveway tagging.. makes it not as McAwful. And I was paying attention!! 😂

This was a cool video. McDonald’s always had a way of pulling in customers. When I was a kid in the 70s I still remember the light blue styrofoam containers the fish fillet came in. As a Hot Wheels collector it’s always neat to find happy meal cars and those Stomper trucks because a lot of them were exclusive to McDonald’s.

The only thing that could make that visit more of an experience is if they had a real McDonalds included in the museum.

From what I’ve been told, San Bernardino faced a huge economic decline after the closure of the nearby Air Force base in the 90s. Lots of business closed and all the wealthier people moved out.

And the truth is, America is becoming dirty, filthy, and scummy 😮

The only connection with McDonald's and the Looney Tune characters I can think of is they were the toy that came in your happy meal back in the day and if you have any of them today they're worth a good amount! Actually all the original toys or worth money. How many are old enough to remember the little aluminum ashtrays on the tables inside?

The world was a very different place 50 years ago. Enjoying your road travel vlogs. Stay safe. That hamburger with the bars used to be at every McCrappys! Absolutely remember hamburger jail!!!

After you went inside, right after the Legos that you remember, and I do too, those cars were called Stompers. They were popular during the late 70s and a little bit of the early 80s. The models that were bought in store were battery powered, had lights, and I think they may have had two speed gearboxes too. There were a couple other companies that made Stomper like trucks, but unless it said Schaper on the package, it wasn't a Stomper and it wasn't acceptable. They were straight line trucks, so no steering, and no radio control. My brother and I each had a few of them. Sold separately, you could also get some kind of off-road course with peaks, valleys, logs and other stuff to race them on, but a lot of us also used our school text books and other things when the actual Stompers courses got boring. I don't remember for sure, but I think each of them coming with two sets of tires. One set was hard rubber and the other set was a not too soft, but just the right density foam. I'd say they were roughly on the order of the foam block that you might find some new Casio watches wrapped around. The McD's Happy Meal toy Stompers that were on display where you were, those were kid powered, and the bodies and tires were removable so they could freely be interchanged back and forth with the AA battery powered versions.

Great video Lamont and if anyone hasn't seen it I'd highly recommend the movie, 'The Founder '. The movie does a great job of describing McDonald's history and goes over from the humble beginnings to the huge juggernaut McDonald's had become.

I remember those hamburger igloo tunnel things! I remember hiding in them, when I was playing in the play area at my childhood McDonald's. I even remember what they smelled like inside, lol. Because of all the sweaty kids that crawled through them, and of course being at McDonald's, they always smelled like fries and feet inside, LMAO! I remember the hamburger jail, too. The character's name was Officer Bigmac, IIRC. And that Hamburgler bust you passed just outside of the entrance would've been part of a swingset-his (missing) outstretched arms would have held the swings. I remember the Fry Kids rocker/bouncer ride-on thingie, too. Yes, I remember the styrofoam. I remember having a birthday party at McDonald's once, as a little kid, and one of the games was to see who could stack the most styrofoam burger boxes. (It's harder than it sounds, especially considering styrofoam holds a static charge, lol.) I remember when smoking was allowed in places like McDonald's. And yes, I would DEFINTELY agree that McDonald's toys have gone down in quality. WAY down. Like everything else, to be as cheap as possible, so the bigwigs squeeze out every penny of profit they can. Gotta buy that third yacht, you know. 🙄 Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane, Lamont. AWESOME video! PS-I want that Mystery Machine, lol!!

I was born in California and lived at one time in North Hollywood and my grandparents lived in Panorama City…they bought their home brand new there….now that was YEARS ago I’m 63 lol and moved to Hollywood FL when I was 10…..would never live in LA area again 😂

That whole area is bad. But it’s getting better because all the other counties got too expensive and if you have to live in California and you can’t afford it, you go there. Ask me how I know. I left 20 years ago. Western San Bernardino county is as good as it gets and it’s not bad. It’s actually pretty nice.

Great video!, I was born and raised there, and yes we have some history in Sanbernardino . But, great video !!

I'm old enough to remember when McDonald's had good toys AND Cracker Jack had good toys. Then they went to stupid tattoos or jokes in every box.

I’m 25 and I used to be obsessed with the beanie babies they used to give when I was a kid.

My fav McDonald's Happy Meal toy is the burgers and fries that converted to robots! Was just thinking of them the other day and telling the kids about them . Those were the days.

My phone's watching and listening man 😂 I went to mcds lastnight and was stoked about the retro box my nuggets came in. I'm in Ottawa 🇨🇦 The mods near me is doing retro packaging again baha but no Styrofoam. I wanted to see if the box was actually the same as it used to be. The wildest part though is that I never said it outloud once.
