A man found an abandoned McDonald’s from 1994 and showed fans the crazy low prices the chain used to boast, and he’s going viral.

McDonald’s prices prove to be quite topical throughout the course of 2023, as the brand hiked up prices by around 10%, meaning that less and less low income customers were visiting restaurants. 

A YouTuber who often posts content exploring abandoned locations found a McDonald’s restaurant on Adak Island, Alaska that hadn’t been touched since 1994. 

We can see a few nostalgic items on the menu, including “dino-size fries” for sale which might be a tie-in to the 1993 “Jurassic Park” movie. We can also see that the Happy Meals contained a “Bobby’s World” toy, which was a cartoon series that aired from 1990-1998.

Old 90’s McDonal’s reveals crazy low prices

As well as the nostalgic items on the menu, the video had some shocking revelations regarding prices. 

According to the board in the video, a Big Mac was $2.45, a Big Mac meal was $4.59, a six-piece McNuggets was $2.35, a Happy Meal cost $3.36 and an egg McMuffin was $1.95.

For comparison, a Big Mac meal now costs $18 in certain locations.

On their official website, McDonald’s state: “McDonald’s prices vary by location. Ninety percent of McDonald’s restaurants are independently owned and operated by franchisees, who have the ability to set their own prices.”

McDonald’s also went viral when one of the chain’s managers shared her crazy daily work routine.
