Fun fact... right next door to the "Art Deco" McDonalds is a brothel. You can see the black and white sign in the back right near the parking lot in one of the photos. Melbourne's a hell of a city. Get a happy ending with your happy meal! (I've visited that McDonalds not the other place)
Being from north Texas the jungle McDonald’s outside of the Dallas zoo was honestly more magical than the zoo itself when I was a kid. Seeing it stripped and shut down on Twitter honestly me quite sad to see another unique location go extinct. Rip Dallas Zoo McDonald’s 😢
I remember going there as a kid, it was so cool, also there’s one that’s not mentioned on this video that’s near me that has a Scottish theme on the inside!
Hmm... my relatives on my mom's side live in Dallas, but I don't know if I've ever been to a place like that or not. :? I've been to the zoo a few times too. :p
there was a two story mcdonalds near me and we used to always eat on the top floor it was pretty fun. its sad to see the charming hyperthemed restaurants of the 2000s get the minimalist makeover :(
I absolutely adore the style of your videos. It feels like... I don't know. It's just so entertaining. Probably my favorite person on this platform, thanks for making me smile and making my day better
So cool to see Brazil twice in the video, we do have some pretty cool mcdonalds. I went to the funky looking one twice, it is located in a very nice touristic town in the south, but never to the méqui 1000, even though I live in São Paulo. I remember it was a huge deal when it opened because it is the 1000th mcdonalds. Also, méqui is the Brazilian nickname for mcdonalds, so this is why it's written there.
I swear we don’t just randomly worship bugs, the boll weevil ate all our cotton (alabama snow) making us start farming peanuts which we mainly harvest now. we have a monument in the middle of downtown for it, and have about 27 boll weevil statues for different stores around town. 6:36
i've actually went to the worlds biggest mcdonalds before, every year when we vacation to Orlando we pass by this place on our way back to our hotel. took me a lot of convincing my mom to get her to give in to the mctemptation
My local McDonald's used to have a play place, but they lost a SINGULAR SCREW so instead of ordering it to fix it, they took the entire thing down so it's just a regular McDonald's now.
As someone who has been to the Barstow Station multiple times, there are other restaurants there, like Subway, Panda Express, Wetzel Pretzel, and a generic BBQ restaurant, but the McDonalds is the only one that uses the train theming.
if i was a child i would absolutely listen the stuff out of his voice honestly not in some weird sense it's just how he can talk about anything and still be entertaining
In Brazil we have turma da Mônica, basically like peanuts, a group of characters that appear as some franchise in books, movies comic strips etc. And It has a park in the city of São Paulo. In this park theres a Turma da Mônica themed McDonald's. Also, i didint know Brazil had such cool McDonald's!
You totally forgot about "McBarge", otherwise known as "Friendship 500". It was McDonalds on and inside a ship that was hosted during Expo '86 in Vancouver (and some small time beyond).
McDonald's really needs to build some train-themed restaurants in Fostoria (Ohio), Bellevue (Ohio), Rochelle (Illinois), and Altoona (Pennsylvania). Those four cities are major railfan hotspots, so train-themed McDonald's restaurants would be ideal for those cities.
The méqui 1000 building is located in the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil and it is the 1000th McDonald's built (i don't know if it's internationally or nationally) It is one of the most different McDonald's out there, so much so that they actually have exclusive menu items such as: Coke McFlurry, Pie flavored McShakes and a whole menu dedicated to onion rings (you ain't finding onion rings at your local Mac).
If you're looking to go there be aware that 1- it's located in the "Avenida Paulista" 2- it's normally pretty full so go in the morning 3- Take some photos, both of you and the menu 4- bring some extra money, things there might be a bit expensive, so if you want those exclusive menu items, i recommend bringing some extra money 5- if you can, try staying at that Airbnb nearby
Ahh, this unlocked a memeory. I used to go to a McDonalds that had saddle seats [ not sure if it was the one talked about in the video or not ]. It was loosely saloon themed if I recall correctly, and young me loved to go there just to sit on the saddle seats. Unfortunately, like the epic McDonald's, it was renovated and lost any charm it had. Rest in pieces, Saloon McDonald's. lmao
One of my neighbors has a Ronald McDonald’s on their balcony, but sadly no restaurant to call home. Lonely and alone, every once in a while Ronald is seen to switch positions, but his favorites are laying back like he’s getting a tan, staring off into space, and watching *you*. This has been a *mcsiting* in my local hometown. :D
There used to be a retro McDonalds on E St Charles Rd in Villa Park. It was one of the earliest locations and had a car-turned booth set instead of it, along with old displays of McDonalds memorabilia and items from throughout the years. Sadly during 2018-2019 it was redesigned into the bland modern design.
@2:10 --- the "Denton house" McDonalds is located in New Hyde Park NY long island, I've gone to that one with a friend its mind blowing the history of the house since they only use the main floor for dining the upper floor is closed off to everyone to preserve the house, I think they have it kept up in condition for history behind the house since it was built during a time of settlers building homes and such, there are some other areas on long island that were built earlier or later than the Denton House
1:57 Oh my god, you just awoken something in me. In fact, it is a very nostalgic and strange feeling. After the dentist as a child I was always hungry, we'd stop by the near McDonalds. This was the Mcdonalds. I've seen this picture but with my own eyes. In the back there is a huge playset which was the best thing ever and I wanted to spend hours in. It was a nice place.
OMG! MY LOCAL MCDONALDS IS IN THIS ( also the counts cauldron, 5:45 is no longer a McDonald’s and now a Gormet burger kitchen. But the theming remains)
The "modern" designs that most fast food places are going for nowadays literally look depressing and sanitized asf like what the hell all I want is a damn fast burger not a chicken mcsoylent from a place that looks like it was originally a clinic
Ayyy new Polygon Donut deep dive video! I always like seeing this stuff ever since I saw your weirdcore + liminal space deep dive! I look forward to more stuff like this
The Macdonalds at 2:21 is located in Melbourne, Australia and the upstairs is actually a physiological therapy facility. I go there every 2 weeks and I love it when my mother rewards me with chicken nuggets after a hard days work of trying to bite off my therapist’s hand off 😸😸😸
I miss the 80’s and 90’s when a bunch of franchise locations had very specific themes like the underwater one and the Roswell location, the dinosaur McDonalds in Tucson used to be themed to the Jurassic period.
Love your content man started watching your videos a couple of days ago and now im hooked, every time i see one of your vids on my recommended i watch it keep up the work bro
When I used to live in Dallas, TX, there was a McDonalds we called the “Fancy McDonalds.” It had chandeliers and leather seating. And they only took cash, for some reason. I only went once as a kid and never forgot it.
imagine a world where all mcdonalds locations and everyone in them suddenly disappear off the earth and reappear in a new McWorld structured just like this video's chart
There used to be a castle themed McDonald's in a shopping mall near me, the rest of the food court were like a medieval market then McDonald's was a 2 floor castle with fake stain glass windows. Then around 8 years ago out of nowhere they shut the whole food court, ripped it all out, replaced it with the blandest theming you've ever seen and ruined my entire life.
I know the overpass one, i have been there! Its in Turkey somewhere between Istanbul and Ankara highway! Edit: did 2 second research and realized my memory is trash and its replaced by a Burger King way before i went there but there is still a Mcdonalds somewhere there if i remember correctly
Imagine eating in the McDonalds plane and your food wiggles around a bit, but you don’t think too much of it. Until you look out the window, and you see the plane is OFF THE GROUND, FLYING IN THE SKY.
4:28 Ok this legit made me think of something where some talking trains talk to the talking train cars that are the mcdonald's train station eating areas
