My first memory of McD's is from high school. The burgers were far better than most of the cafeteria food, which cost $0.35. We would get a bunch of us together, and ride in the school bus that a friend drove to McD's where we could buy two burgers for $0.31. Better tasting food for less money. The more affluent of us would splurge for fries and a drink. The rest of us waited till we got back to school for water.
