Retro Reminiscing Video and Pictures – Do You Remember
online community focused on sharing and reminiscing about video, audio, and images that stir our memories of the past – old television, theme songs, commercials, print advertisements, the sights and sounds you remember
Not all memories are happy ones. I remember as a kid thinking to myself that if McDonald’s was mostly for kids, why did they have smoking in the restaurants? I hated when they were at a table we were at or near! The glass ones were really old school with the tin ones taking over in the 80’s. Smoking was banned in 1994.
n 1983, before John Goodman was Dan Conner on Roseanne he signed with the William Morris Agency to produce a McDonald’s commercial. I guess it is better to have your first acting job at McDonald’s than your first job there!
In its heyday, McDonald’s hired jingle writer Barry Manilow to write the theme song.
Before he was George Costanza he peddled the failed McDLT’s for McDonalds. He even had hair in this commercial! The beef stays hot, the lettuce and tomato stays cool.
