It’s easy to overlook just how much McDonald’s has changed throughout the years. Seriously. The infamous worldwide chain restaurant has had its ups and downs. McDonaldland is certainly one of the stranger ventures to come from McDonald’s. McDonaldland was a McDonald’s media franchise as well as a wildly imaginative fictional fantasy world that was resided in by Ronald McDonald and all of the friends he met along the way.
Naturally, some of the McDonaldland marketing campaigns to surface were quite, quite odd. We threw together some of the more wild images from McDonaldland as well as nostalgic pics from McDonalds throughout the years.
