Nostalgic Tweets About the Good Old Days of 1980s and ’90s Fast Food

I can still see it in my head so clearly…

When I was a little kid and we lived in suburban Chicago, our mom would pile us in the car and take us ice skating at a rink a few towns over and Wednesday nights.

And after the ice skating…it was time to hit Taco Bell.

Now, we didn’t eat out very often, so going to Taco Bell was a HUGE deal and an enormous treat. And I still like it!

The 1980s and 1990s were a great time for fast food restaurants and people took to Twitter to take about those glory days after posts about how Wendy’s used to have a yellow color scheme…and things took off from there.

Let’s take a look!

1. Burger King kid’s club!

That was some good stuff.

2. Those are pretty cool.

I wonder if they’re worth any money…

3. The ultimate birthday party location.

You know you remember it!

4. That plate is on fire.

Do you have any of these stored away somewhere?

5. I’ve never been to a Roy Rogers?

Am I missing out?

6. Shrek for the win!

I always loved the movie tie-ins at McDonald’s.

7. Going back to the ’70s.

A total nostalgia trip.

8. Whoa, I don’t remember these.

Gonna have to get on eBay tonight…

9. I remember them well.

They were quite tasty, as I recall.

10. Dine-in Pizza Hut was da bomb.

That salad bar? Woooo!

11. Those are some wild colors.

Totally ’90s, y’all!

Nostalgic Tweets About Fast Food Restaurants in the 1980s and ’90s

As a child of the late 1980s and early 1990s, I’d be a pretty big liar if I said I didn’t spend my fair share of time in fast food restaurants growing up.

I used to hit all the classics: McDonald’s, Burger King, Long John Silver’s, and my personal favorite, White Castle.

White Castle, oh how I long for thee…oh sorry, I didn’t mean to say that out loud.

But the point is that the 1980s and ’90s were the Golden Age for fast food joints, and people really have a lot of strong memories about them.

Apparently, a lot of these tweets got rolling because folks on Twitter were talking about how Wendy’s used to be yellow and things went from there.

Let’s take a trip back in time with these fast food tweets.

1. I want all of this right now.

Probably not good for the gut, though.

2. I still remember the first Subway I ever went to.

It was a magical journey.

3. The yellow Wendy’s…

Do you remember?

4. The best of the best.

The jukebox was pretty solid, too!

5. Wild ’90s colors all over the place.

Feels like an episode of Saved by the Bell.

6. There are a lot of cool McDonald’s locations out there.

A lot of stuff went down in those Playlands.

7. Styrofoam for days.

They weren’t too concerned about the environment back then…

8. I do not remember the McDLT.

I missed this one somehow.

9. Oh man, this was some good stuff.

It was always nice and greasy!

10. Check out that ashtray!

And those old Taco Bell wrappers!

11. Going wayyyy back with this one.

You never forget your first time.

12. Kind of wild to think about this now.

That was a lot of fun!

Okay, time to spill the beans…

What’s your favorite fast food restaurant?

Where’s Herb?

Burger King launched a $40 million ad campaign in November 1985 called “Where’s Herb?” The idea was to find a character named Herb who’d never been to BK. Other chains pointed out that if Herb wasn’t at BK, it meant he probably liked other chains’ burgers more. Burger King profits fell 40% in 1986.
