This video features a shorter version of the evil Grimace.

@MsPandaRosa Maybe; all I remember is those shiny red Christmas cuffs, if they really existed, were the PRETTIEST things during the holidays and I would "KILL" to see them in real life today!

@ultragor

Could have been a local thing? I don't remember the cuffs at all, but then, I was just a kid.

I do remember the "mail them a hamburger" one, good ol' silly! Amazing to think fifty cents was a big deal way back when.

@NoLifeInsight he said hurt, i had to replay that scene

[menschlichetragodie]

Commercial #2: Its really creepy that Ronald leads the little girl off stage right by her hand, and leaves the little boy at left...

[NoLifeInsight]

"children should be seen and not heard" ? LOL I almost didn't catch that. Or did they say "hurt"? Imma choose to believe the former.

@zR750gUY It was a big deal when I got to to my cousin's birthday party at McDonald's.

@zR750gUY You are exactly right. I don't ever recall having "Micky D's" more than once every three or four weeks at the least. No way was it ever a more than once a week thing. And back then, I seem to remember it tasting MUCH better in general.
