Reply to comment by hlda_g in I don't remember my bday at McDonald's in 1995. Must have been too drunk on that cake by R0osteryo

That doesn't justify a full ashtray sitting right next to the birthday cake surrounded by children (or adults, for that matter).

Also, I'm pretty sure most places had phased that out by '95, especially at kids' birthday parties.

Edit: Keep embarassing yourselves - my block list is hungry.

You understand what "most" means, right?

A photo of a single example doesn't invalidate my point, you idiot lol.

Homie you're just not correct.

You're right that smoking indoors is bad. But it was still normal in 95

Your point is wrong. Ashtrays weren't phased out in 1995.

In 1996, there were still smoking sections in restaurants in Los Angeles County. Nobody cared about anyone's lungs at that point, and it was a couple years later before they outlawed smoking in cars with minors in them. And even as late as 2004, a lot of dicey places still allowed smoking indoors until the authorities showed up, in which case they would hide the ashtrays and open the doors as though no one would know... lol.

If this is how you react to your first time seeing a cigarette at a child's birthday party, viewing images from the past may not be a good fit for you.
