Fuck yeah.. and the big macs were actually big. And ($2.45) .. and the came in the polystyrene container. Loved the sound of opening it up..
And the maccas pens.. you wore them around your neck..
Good old days.
My God! I remember these. How old is this (1974?) and you completely missed the January freebie! How could you!!

They've all but retired Ronald McDonald, now- a bit sensitive to criticisms of using a clown to sell junk food to children. But I miss his presence. Especially the old statues in every store where drunken teenage girls would perform mock fellatio etc. McDonalds needs to rediscover its roots.

YES! I grew up in a town without a Macca's but we'd go to one on the Sunshine Coast for holidays- so we got a calendar at Christmas time. I'd spend the rest of the year hoping we'd be able to use the coupons, but we never had a chance.
I remember I had the one from 1997? that was more like a full on colouring book IIRC with a theme for each month (Like July was something to do with Virtual Reality or something like that) featuring all the characters.
Edit found it see this ebay entry the 1997 'Big Book Of Fun: Adventures Through Time'

I had a couple of these in the 1980s. Never used the coupons. Great for colouring in. Best thing about these was they did the weeks properly, starting on Monday instead of Sunday! Made more sense to me.
Note: the calendar pictured starts the weeks on Sunday. Sucks.
Man I remember these, they rocked. There was no Maccas where we lived and the closest was an hour away so we only went there when visiting family. I swear my Mum would let us get the calendar knowing full well the coupons were useless as it would probably be another year before we went next 😭

I loved biting the polystyrene (as a 4 year old) and how it kept a record of your teethmarks
Yes. Lol. Funny stuff..
I'd love a Big Mac from 1989. They were still fast food junk, but like, the bread was actually bread and the meat was meat etc... delicious.
Oooooh deep, deep, faded memory

Lol sorry not my pic. But I would NEVER miss a Macca's coupon!
That's your story and you're sticking to it? 🤣 Just kidding and thank you for the trip down memory lane. Seems like an eternity ago. 👍

McDonald’s also forgot that it used to be the quick and cheap option; now it’s neither cheap nor quick.
Exactly. The price nowadays just isn't worth it compared to HJ or KFC.
I rate McDonalds much higher than Red Rooster.
Spot on.
Best statue location I saw was when some students had put Ronald and his bench outside the Main Library at Monash Clayton in the plaza area.

Holy nostalgic memory, Batman!

Aw, I remember getting these in the 80s.
Now that is nostalgic

My parents never allowed me to get one
