The odds of peeling off Mediterranean Avenue, which is the worst (winning)piece on the game board is 1 in 400 000+ . That prize is only $100-150 in gift cards.

On a side note, I have won 2 small fries and a sandwich.

never mind the McPizza or the McRib - I miss Mayor McCheese!

I'm obviously dating myself here, but I remember the days when you could buy a Big Mac, large fries, and a pop for under $2 and MacDonalds used to brag about it.

It's crazy what fast food costs nowadays. I got a double teen burger combo today for lunch because I was running out of time and low on options, and it was $10! For a fast food burger and crappy fries! Insane!

My fast food consumption is pretty much limited to breakfast sandwiches (McDonald's McGriddle and A&W's Homestyle Ham & Egger are the best) and that time window between 12 and 3 AM.

Oh, and Wendy's when the bacon mushroom melt or jalapeno melt is in season.

I'm eating McD's right now yummie in ma tummie with them double cheeseburgers!

[Rifleman]

I remember the McD pizzas, because I worked there when they rolled them out.

The flavors available were deluxe, hawaian, and pepperoni.

Deluxe was a little cheese first, then 6 pepperoni slices, 6 green pepper wedges, a scoop of onions, a scoop of mushrooms, and a scoop of italian sausage, then more cheese on top.

Pepperoni was a little cheese, (I think) 12 slices of pepperoni, and more cheese on top.

Hawaiian was a little cheese, 6 slices of ham, two scoops of pineapple, and then more cheese on top.

Of course, you could order cheese pizza too.

They were delicious at first, because they actually used fresh ingredients, and the pizza was comparable to Pizza Hut pizza. (Fresh, being the toppings - the crust was a pre-baked bread-like thing.)

What ended up happening is the initial buzz wore off, and people started ordering less and less as the years rolled by. When we first started out, we'd go through about 6 trays of each type of pizza a day. Each tray had either 3 of one kind or a family sized pizza. Eventually, it got less and less, until we were getting maybe 2 or 3 orders of pizza a day, and that's when McDonald's made the fatal mistake of switching to the pre-packaged McCain's pizza, which tasted like $#!+.

McDonald's spent millions on installing these new super hot ovens to cook the pizzas, and I think in some of the restaurants, they are still there, except they only cook pies and muffins now.

This chain has really gone downhill since the glory days, and it was all in an attempt to save money. Before, they would cook tons of burgers just before the lunch crowd, and when you ordered, the cashier would be able to turn around, grab your sandwiches, get your fries, and you would have your order in front of you in less than a minute. Nowadays, you'd be lucky to get it under 3 minutes because they cook their meat and keep them in heating trays, then prepare your burger to order.

McPizza was amazing - used to go to the Westbrook one for like 25 years.

Went through the McDs drive thru a few weeks ago and was floored at how expensive this crap is now. Don't they have a dollar menu or do they not advertise it at the drive thru?

It is advertised at the drive through... I just had a McDouble, Jr. Chicken and small fry for $4.36

[Lego Man]

Not related to McDonalds..

BUT does any remember Pizza Bundles? I remember that you could buy them at Co-op. I've looked and looked but I haven't seen them in probably fifteen years. I'm not sure if they were a McCain product or not - all I remember was that they were Heaven.

I could never choose the McPizza over a BigMac as a kid.

It used to be that everyone had Boardwalk (at least it was a few years ago) and they make one Park Place.

[ken0042]

I think most of the time the "hard" piece was Boardwalk. Then once they swapped it around, making people excited when they saw they had Boardwalk.
