High School Newspaper Classics: Remembering McDonaldland!


Back in the 1970’s McDonald’s commercials for kids had a fictional world called “McDonaldland” home of Ronald McDonald and all of his friends. Ronald McDonald had a whole bunch of friends like Mac Tonight, Birdie the Early Bird, The Hamburglar, and Grimace. McDonaldland also had a famous mayor named Mayor McCheese (He basically had a cheeseburger for a head). But in the 2000’s McDonaldland died out, but not Ronald McDonald, he now lives in the real world. But to a sadder note, McDonald’s used these characters were to lure kids into eating McDonald’s food (which is bad for you). But McDonaldland today is just something to make fun of. So remember that McDonald’s created characters that are now pop culture icons. So think about McDonaldland the next time you eat at McDonalds. And ask your folks if they remember McDonaldland.
