I remember my first McDonald’s hamburger. It was around 1960 and one had just opened in Ft. Walton, Bch. They were 15 cents and I think the fries were the same.

I was really surprised how good they were.

My last one was around 10 years ago. I was in the midst of moving and had to just grab something for lunch. I got a cheeseburger and coke at the local one.

Absolutely awful. I can’t believe how much they have changed.

Do you remember the original Burger King Whopper back in the early to mid 1970’s?
What happened to a real honestly great tasting burger made in the good family friendly burger joints.

I don’t like to admit it but my favorite burger now days is a Wendy’s double cheese burger with fries. I like it more than even In-n-Out burgers because of the cheese.

That's when they had the sign XXX hundred million burgers sold. The XXX were in light digits that could be updated.

That’s about the same time I had my first McDonalds. The fries were the best. Not any more. I remember how good Arbys was at first. All they served were roast beef sandwiches, two toppings,drinks and chips. The roast beef was so good not like now. They were sixty-nine cents which was a lot in 1965.

"changed"

A year ago I bought a Big Mac at a local MickeyDs. It was the first one I had for about twenty years. It has shrunk so much over the years, they should call it the Little Mac.
