People Miss Old-School McDonald's After Viral Photo Of 2025 PlayPlace

Getty / anouchkaI had my 6th birthday party at our local McDonald’s, and it was an absolute banger. We had burgers, fries, and even those old-school McDonald’s sheet cakes! There were party hats and an appearance from Ronald himself. After singing “Happy Birthday,” all the kids ran into the giant PlayPlace (my mom used to call them “fart tunnels”) and we’d play for hours. There was a time in history when having your birthday party at McDonald’s …

Parineeti Chopra, recalling her childhood birthday, said that her parents didn't have money for a cake.

Mom lashes out over ‘cash grab’ birthday party with no cake: ‘What was that?’

There's a cost of living crisis but apparently that shouldn't stop parents from saving money when trying to give their kids joy.
