McDonald\u2019s customers are losing it over this old-school restaurant with 80s menu TikTok: @McdonaldsukMcDonald\u2019s are celebrating their 50th birthday this year in the UK, and people are feeling nostalgic after seeing what the chain looked like in the 1980s. In the past five decades, the chain has gone through dramatic changes since it first opened in Woolwich, South London, back in October 1974. In a clip released by the official McDonald\u2019s UK account on TikTok, a worker made a virtual old-school \u2018Maccies,\u2019 tour, so that people could see what it was like to order food from the iconic brand back in the 1980\u2019s. In the tour, we see some of the staples of the chain that existed when it was still at the beginning of its popularity. They showed the super retro furniture, as well as the old school menu, that surprisingly contained a lot of the same items as you\u2019d find today, like the Fillet O\u2019 Fish. They also showed an old-fashioned cash register, far bulkier than the digital kind you\u2019d find today. The chairs were also far more whimsical than the ones you get nowadays, shaped like a giant burger. There was even a section of the store designated the \u201chottest hangout space in town\u201d \u2013 the children\u2019s area where you could reserve a birthday party space. In the final part of the clip, we catch a glimpse of the employee of the month wall, where workers were rewarded for their good behavior with a plaque in their honor. \u201cBring back Big Mac 90s size, and those polystyrene boxes and old milkshakes!\u201d said one comment. \u201cChange EVERYTHING back to when it was great, burger chairs, parties, best happy meal toys,\u201d another chimed in. But why does the establishment in the video exist in the first place? McDonald\u2019s UK explained, writing: \u201c(we\u2019re) running a nostalgic 80s-themed advertising campaign and donating proceeds from the Birthday Cake Donut to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, which is also celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.\u201d As well as the refurbishment, McDonald\u2019s also brought out a birthday-themed menu, which includes the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse, the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers, Double Big Mac, Birthday Cake Donut, a Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry (white chocolate and raspberry swirl), and a Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
