THROWBACK TO THE MAC

McDonald’s photos from the 80s and 90s emerge – can you remember these burger seats?

PHOTOS of McDonalds restaurants and merchandise from the 80s and 90s have emerged - with some weird and wonderful results.

The fast food chain, which opened its first branch in the US in 1955, has been a popular place for families and kids for years.

From food-shaped chairs and stools to games and wordsearches on the tray liners, it was the best place for birthday parties and after-school dinners.

But some of the photos, posted on website , show how much times have changed.

One example is a McDonald's ash tray, which were in most restaurants before the smoking ban in the UK was made legal in 2007.

The photos also show other menu items that are now long gone, including the McSalad Shaker, which was introduced in 2000 but was replaced with their Premium salads three years later.
