What? What are you even on about? What zoo trip? Where? Who's everyone? Are you okay?

The Dallas Zoo McDonald's was mildly famous, I'd guess regionally at worst only in Texas, as being a time capsule. It was wacky and zoo themed.

People used to rave about it. Now people complain about it. Likely, more people engaged it by driving by and saying "wait, is that a McDonald's?" and corporate wasn't having it.

And I was downvoted for not knowing about an obscure McDonalds, by a zoo, in literally bumfuck Texas, and the regional and cultural and historical context surrounding that, and the poster above was upvoted for saying that "everyone" knows it from their school trip and used to rave about it, as if the entire population of earth lives in Dallas, Texas, USA, North America?

Holy shit fuck this site so much. Can these sh.it.just.werks "people" just go back to Twitter?
