I'm guessing you were a youngster when it was available and are romanticizing it, because that was horrid pizza.

Have to agree. The closest proximity is McCains microwave pizzas. That stuff was ridiculously bad.

I would guess that if you tried it today you would gag and not believe it is the same thing.

When I was 12 I got excited about getting a pizza pocket in my lunch. Your standards have gone up.

kind of like when you watch a show when you are 16 and think it is the funniest show ever and then watch it 20 years later and think "what was i thinking, this is awful"... good point

I loved their pizza, I was also 8 so take that for what it's worth. I remember going to Disney in grade 5 and being shocked the McDonalds in Florida didn't have pizza. It just seemed odd he menu was different (that's when I learned the menus were regionalized).

That said I haven't eaten McDonalds since 1998.

I remember thinking that McD's pizza was good. I don't think I've ever tasted anything like it again.
