History of Mcdonald's

In 1940, the first Mcdonald's was opened in San Bernardino, California. You would think Mcdonald's would have been so successful because of their ability to make food fast but they were very good at marketing and the iconic ads. Since they were so successful at the marketing they were able to keep up with competion. Mcdonald's main competitors were wendy's, In and out, and of course Burger King. The menu for Mcdonald's look pretty simular to what we have now but just a little more basic.

In 1948, the founders of Mcdonald's , Maurice and Richard McDonald, revamped the business. Some of the new looks of Mcdonald's was being able to make a large amount of food faster. Another big part of this time was the fun, red and yellow clown. Rondald was a chacter to appeal to children and symbolize Mcdonald's. With good food and a goofy looking clown they had to be the best fast food company in the world, but in 1979, Mcdonald's started giving out toys with kid's meals that just few month later was named the happy meal.

  • Good topic choice Jaden! I do think your summary should be longer. Include your thoughts about the topic. The big issue is you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points. Posted one day late.

  • Most of Mcdonalds options probably arent the healthiest but they taste good so its fine and I enjoy the mcflurries at mcdonalds even though they have the very creepy mascot Ronald Mcdonald.

  • My favorite item to get at Mcdonald's is chicken nuggets or a strawberry milkshake. I believe that sometimes Ronald Mcdonald can be a little creepy, especially for kids. I feel that Mcdonald's isn't the best for you and there is definitely better places for you to eat at.

  • My favorite thing from McDonalds is the chicken nuggets and the ice cream. I think Ronald McDonals is a little creepy. I don't think McDonalds is very good for you, but I still go sometimes because it's good and quick. 

  •  My favorite thing from Mcdonalds woul dprobs be the suages, egg, and cheese mcgriddle or a quarter pounder with cheese. I think hes kind of creepy. i think health wise it is bad for you if you eat it all the time but if you eat it every now and then i dont think it will affect you as much.

  • I don't really go to McDonald's that much but when I do go I get their fries. I think Ronald Mcdonald wasn't creepy at one part in time but now many people think he's scary, I personally think he's scary. There is no way McDonald's can be good for you.

  • My favortie thing is just their chicken nuggets. I dont really care that much about Ronald but I remeber when I was younger and we used to go to the playgrounds that they had inside of the place and there would be a statue and I would be scared. I think it is very bad for you but so many people like it and it just is a popular fast food place. 

  • I don't really have a favorite thing at McDonald's because I normally just get fries. I think that when Ronald McDonald was created that he wasn't as creepy because of the time, but now I think he's a lot more creepy. I think that McDonald's isn't very healthy but I don't think people will stop eating it because of that.

  • My favorite thing at McDonald's is probably the fries and I do believe that Ronald Mcdonald is creepy and so, because of that, I do believe that he is creepy. I think that Mcdonald's is probably one of the worse things you can eat, as it's obviously very unhealthy. 

  • I dont go to mcdonalds very often but when I do I get some type of burger. I dont care for ronald McDonald as ive never found him creepy but never had an interest in him. McDonalds is bad for you in my opinion.
