Slim black women was a dime a dozen too.

All those workers touching the food with their bare hands.

I didn't really think about that till just now.
I did that job as a kid. I kept my hands washed all day though.

I made peoples food like I was gonna eat it.

You ever hit BK for the burgers and McDonalds for the fries back in the day?

They stopped using that beef tallow to fry their food and it ruined the experience.

I wonder what the portion sizes were like back in 1988.

The people in this video -- customers and employees -- look fairly fit....at least when comparing to 2023.

The portions were bigger. You can tell by the burgers in the video. But they had less preservatives, hormones and less artificial additives in them. That shyt is far worse than larger portions. Its less natural.

Why come into a thread for something you specifically are uninterested in? Thats goofball behavior.

I was around in 1988. But I don’t recall how portion sizes might have changed since then.

I remember at some point in the 1990s I started seeing 20 oz sodas everywhere.

Before it used to just be cans. Or the glass Coca Cola bottles but I don’t remember how many ounces those had.

It used to be cans, 1 liter and 2 liter bottles. And nobody would ever buy a 1 liter bottle for themselves. But I guess once the 20 oz bottles came in, the 1 liter bottles disappeared.

If you're talking about the tall ones they were 12 ounces they also had smaller bottles that were 10 oz.

Those BK fries back then were top 3 all-time. Nothing like the garbage we have today

The only fast food burger place my dad would take us was Burger King when I was a kid (only time we ever ate out was BK or Pizza Hut ) The Army bases always had Burger Kings and he hated McDonalds. I always ordered the same thing. 3 cheeseburgers with just ketchup and mustard & if you would have asked me what the workers wore back in the late 80’s I would have never guessed green shirt blue hat
