Ahem, not marketing to kids is bad?
Nah, bottom is better. Attracting kids to get the habit of eating unhealthy isn't.

This isn't about McDonald's this is about society. All the colour and excitement has gone, McDonald's is just one of the casualties.
Corporations can't, by definition, be victims. Fuck them all.
Architecture in the Soviet Union
This is literally Dallas, Texas, USA.
The playpen was nasty af tho
I remember as a kid being in one, then a baby in there pissed like twice the amount of piss that their entire body could even displace from a tub. The parent collected the baby and left without saying anything to anyone. The thing then smelled like piss for the next two years until they renovated to the mccafe boring design and just got rid of the play area.
Why should garbage unhealthy "food" be marketed to children though?
When will people stop eating that garbage.....?(probably never)
It's getting too expensive so more are quitting now than ever.
I stopped when I got old enough to realize the only thing I actually liked about McDonalds was the play place.
Now I give it a try like once every 3-4 years to remind myself how much it sucks.

More profitable than ever
This is what I saw too
I really miss the unhinged topiary that used to be outside of every fast food restaurant when I was a kid.

Looks like they changed their target group.
I'm just surprised, looking at comments here, how many people here belong to the formerly targeted group.
In both cases it's millennials. It's even called "millennial grey."
It’s because as children we had sensory overload from the old McDonalds and the 90s in general were a very colorful time. Think Nickelodeon and Jazz paper cups, it was over the top, so we had to reign it in.

Just more proof of the efficiencies of Capitalism
Ronald McDonald is a capitalist.
Looks like their customers have grown up and they tried to follow suit and became boring adults.
I don't eat at McDonalds for many reasons, but if I had to walk through such a Chuck E Cheese-ass entrance to grab a burger I'd have one more reason to avoid it.
