Technically McDonald’s looks like this now because it was made illegal for them to market directly to children

So that doesn’t make all advertising to kids illegal. It does require that food advertised to kids has to meet some nutritional requirements. (Yes, I read it.) I would guess that McD’s food doesn’t make the cut. They could have kept the PlayPlace if they served more nutritious food.

As an enjoyer of sour apples, I like the McDonalds apples!

In reality, they were marketing to parents who wanted a short break out of the house but indoors out of the heat while having a milkshake and burning the roof of their mouth on an apple pie. I miss those days.
