From 1984 to 1990 you could get a McDLT in the non-biodegradable styrofoam container. Who remembers the commercials?

Always a source of interesting menu experiments, one of the first McDonald’s Burgers of the Month was a Chili Cheese Quarter Pounder. Who would be down to try this one? (1993)

The first Simpsons fast food toys were released just a few quick months after the show premiered. This set of five camping figures were loosely based on the episode "The Call of the Simpsons" (Burger King translite sign, 1990)

Here is the first Big Mac box design from the early 70s. While the sandwich was first released in 1968, it was initially held together by a cardboard collar and wrapped in foil.

1994's Flintstones movie inspired McDonald's to re-brand as ROC DONALD'S. Gotta love the detail work here... over 19 dozen sold!

@MallBangers I always wondered if there were any of these in the wild. Haven't seen one since maybe the early 90's

The FUNNY FRY FRIENDS Happy Meal doesn’t seem to get the same nostalgic fanfare as its McNugget Buddies or Changeables counterparts, but it was an incredibly fun line of characters (1989)

[Mall Bangers @MallBangers]

Just thinking about this thing as an adult makes me claustrophobic. But it was amazing as a kid. 😍

Super Size Fries were first introduced as a limited time offering in the summer of 1987 and were immediately a smash-hit. In its first few months, there were two different packaging designs - but the one with orange ribbons was a much rarer/shorter-lived version.

@RetroScapeX Did not know that was a spinoff

The ice cream machine is down? No problem... you can make yourself a McFlurry out of Play-Doh! (2002)

[Translites Matter @McTranslites]

This isn't a translite, but what a great ad for the #McDLT you can totally get your hands on one!
