Wonder Cereals(1991-circa 1995): In a bit of cross branding, Ralston released a line of cereals under the 'Wonder' label (as in the bread). Varieties included Apple Cinnamon Corn Flakes, Crunchy Graham Oat Rings and Honey Nut Crispy Rice. Check this amazing scan c/o Consumer Time Capsule !

Can't wait to make the varsity squad so one I day I can earn a McDonald's or Hamburger University letter jacket. (1980)

In 1982, McDonald's had their first Happy Meal toy recall when a few kids choked on pieces from these Playmobil figures. If you brought back your toy, you could exchange it for an ice cream cone or box of cookies. Not sure if that's fair value, but they tried.

Dessert at McDonald's in the mid-80s was not only delicious, it was also insanely picturesque. Who could resist ANY of this??? (1984)

Power Rangers were the biggest thing going in the mid-90s, so McDonald's considered all kinds of ideas to collaborate with them. One of the best concepts that didn't get produced was this mask-shaped Happy Meal box. (1995)

Every image I can find of the Ronald McDonald phone involves some kind of high-profile business deal taking place... coincidence? I think not! (1986)

McDonald's FRIED Apple and Cherry Pies were untouchable. Both figuratively and literally... these things were filled with molten lava. (1975)

The Great Muppet Caper glasses at McDonald's were some of the best souvenir drinkware sets they ever made. I'm sure a bunch of these are still collecting dust in kitchen cabinets from coast to coast. (trayliner, 1981)

Check out this beautiful McDonald's interior from a location in Manhattan Beach, CA in 1986. This place puts most nightclubs to shame.

In 1985, Ralston introduced NERDS CEREAL. Just like the candy, each box was divided into two flavors - in this case, Grape & Strawberry. A cool detail is every box also had TWO promotions, like a 'bike hat' and 'fun zone.' Cereal just isn't this fun anymore.

Chicken Fajitas were an on-again, off-again menu offering at McDonald's throughout the 90s, including being offered as a 'Taste of the Month' in late 1993. I've heard varying opinions of how good they were.

FLINTSTONES PUSH UPS were always a top-tier at-home dessert. These are still available as a plain Nestle product, but with no Flintstones themed flavors like 'Lime Rock Lime,' you know they couldn't possibly taste as good. (1989)

It’s 1979 and you just ordered a Chopped Beefsteak sandwich and Onion Nuggets… what are you picking for your free dessert?
