    Whatever side of the world you may be on, one thing’s for sure — going to a McDonald’s restaurant was a probably big part of your childhood. In fact, aside from Disneyland, you might have even considered it as one of the happiest places on Earth back then. After all, who could ever forget about the joy of running around its colossal and colorful PlayPlaces? Or the excitement of opening a Happy Meal box and the urge to get all the toys in a collection?

    Sadly, as we have grown up, we’ve eventually outgrown these childhood memories. What we once considered a happy place is now simply a quick stop to grab some burgers and fries. Apparently, even the fast-food chain itself has outgrown its playful and cheery image. Aside from restaurant makeovers, the fast-food chain has also undergone several menu revisions and recipe changes over the years.
