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

Basically in the late 90’s mcdonalds dropped the clown and his crew in a big way. Most restaurants had the clown on a bench and posters and it was everywhere.

It was kinda the thing for fun places to do, like chuckee cheeses and a few others.

They rebranded to become more profitable, so they got rid of play pens and things like that, and started being open 24/7.

Last thing you want is drunk people vomiting in the ball pit at 2am.

Or drunk ass teens hanging out at the top making out.

That makes sense. But all the McDonald's around where I used to live, 4 years ago, still had the play areas. No ball pits though. However I don't think the ones around where I currently live have any of that.
