I'm actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn't be legal, and I'm happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.

The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.

Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.

I'd like to change the order of the meme

In addition to moving away from marketing directly to children, the reason a lot of fast foot restaurants are rebranding to look like grey cubes is to make the buildings more generic and therefore more valuable as commercial real estate.

We've all seen the local Mexican restaurant that definitely used to be a Pizza Hut. This is to avoid that.

We used to have the only McDonald's (that I know of) that was in a building designed by Eiffel.

They "modernised" it last year.

It's this a picture of kids growing older¿?

More like hambinger

Welcome to McDonald's, the All-American Restaurant, papers please

The order needs to be reversed. People don't really read from the bottom up.

Waiting for this…

The food is also going to be shit like bugs or lab-made pink paste. Possibly made with bugs.

"You are in McDonald's. Consume and exit."

When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I'm mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.

I don't know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.

Instead of McCafe, it should be "McSoylent".

I mean, I wouldn't say no to a brutalist McDonald's.

It should be a hole underground.

needs to change the sign and logo to be more brutalist as well

Brutalist fast food restaurants? Don't threaten me with a good time. Fuckin love me some brutalism

Oh, it's been harbinged. We're in it.

A new McDonald’s commercial has a burger stolen and the character shouts “it’s the hamburger thief”

Cultural erasure

Go to China. The real Harbinger is this
