As a young gen guy, futuristic design is just clean and sad. I would rather have retro design and happy vibes.
PaperStSoapCompany
From McDonalds! to McDonalds.
AviationMetalSmith
Ice Dams were a problem, new design is better for snipers.
Siptro
Because this was tested out for a few years in the Midwest middle class areas and was received well so here we are.

"Mmm, boring homogeneity, just how I like it!"
GravyEducation
That's... kind of exactly what it did. Smart marketing and good product > selling to kids > kids grew up > sell to the parents as efficient
GravyEducation
fast food with no frills. No more play places, no more Ronald. Only gimmicky burgers to sell with a side order of Happy meals
ThomasTheWankEngine3
modernized and got salads.
GenghisKunt
Me too.
IWasToldThereWasCake
Those kiosks are the tits though
dylandHero
Haven't we all..
VinzClorthoInSunglasses
Noticed how they've phased out Ronald too?
PianoMan2112
I thought that was because oh John Wayne Gacy and/or Stephen King.
ChloeRed
I suspect it's more "We're not marketing at kids" type move

I remember back in the 90's when they started focusing more on adults w/ the Arch deluxe. While the burger failed the idea didn't.
PooPculture
I watched a video on this the other day https://youtu.be/o7sQEU6gXE4
Haaaaack
I miss the sharp, metal slides and burger jails you could jump out of
NotmyUsername2000
I feel this
KnucleheadFlow
I'm living it...
jayknight9011
There's another universe out there that fully embraced the clown, even after kids started disappearing
CallMeMuppet
I'm not gonna pretend that the first one looked better.

Karen's did this. McDonalds made kids happy, and they came along and said, it makes our kids fat! They're still fat now Karen and unhappy.
pupperdoodle
Service just keeps getting worse and cost keeps going up. ?
nero4ty2
Costs will always go up for pretty much everything, service has been mediocre since the beginning
Kyshho
They got in trouble since the food wasn't at all healthy, to stop targeting kids, thisis the result
DudeThatsRacist
McDonald's blanding its brand is because of city ordinances. You can find grey Home Depot's too. Some cities don't like bright colors.
OMGChris
This is false. It's all about marketing. These new buildings look cleaner and almost fools the consumer into thinking it's healthier too
AgamemnonsMemes
it looks more like a 'restaurant' and makes people think it is higher quality and not just junk for kids
Waaaaghhumbug
Not sure why you're being downvoted you're correct. Red=unhealthy, earthy greens=healthy. It was a carefully thought out regrading exercise.
OMGChris
Could be the nostalgia. Some people spent a lot of times in those old buildings and don't like to see them looking different
yokwe
I miss the playgrounds with Mayor McCheese

"I'm loving it...less"

"I'm not really loving much of anything right now." *deep sigh*

iamthisguy247
I’m tolerating it.
davebeastly
Meh meh meh meh meh.
IamJACKSventedSPLEEN
Time and local ordinances. And new Marketing Execs.
xizar
Vox did some video about why all buildings "look the same" now. https://youtu.be/Ml-ZP-_e_o4
OrdinarilyBob
Heh. Just watched that last night and was about to post the same thing.
PickleForBreakfast
So you guys just discovered a worse technique than the one we've been using in Europe for half a century?
Gandolfspipe
Haven't we all?

I didn't know McDonald's was a millennial

81-89 are still 90's kids.
TheGoodKaren
My dude. First, I love you guys that meme made me laugh. Second, I'm born in 86 and is named Karen.
aFadingMemory
Im 1980 and definitely consider myself more of a millennial than a Gen X. If I'm Gen X I need to be able to go back in time and get let into
MyRealNameIsKaren
Much *genuine* respect b/c I'm the reverse: I'm 1981 and always identified GenX. *Cusper's Rule!!!*
aFadingMemory
Yea it's a weird line to straddle. I find myself loving and hating parts of each. Some of my younger friends were complaining about someone
aFadingMemory
all the 21+ local grunge shows I couldn't get into growing up in Seattle.
amundost
The target audience has changed from kids to families.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
Same philosophy as my friendly neighborhood crack dealer: “start ‘em young” -Beaver Larry.
Darklinkinfinite
Because the kids they targeted now have families

"Where'd you go to eat?" "Let's put it this way, as a child it was a victory, as an adult it's defeat."
mintakka
Also a lot of townships restrict what your building can look like now. Honesty the old McDs style was hideous
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Honestly, prefer the old. But then, I've never really seen buildings and pretty or hideous. But old had some personality to it.
Xenarion
Eh? Those red hats are way better than boring concrete cubes
DaLwkiz
Honestly they both don't look that good.
nerotep
At least it was unique
aFadingMemory
TBF so is the new one. Is it new condos? A dentist office? A fast food chain? Sure! Whatever. Just make it soul crushingly homogenous!
WorthEveryPenny
Boomer mentality, yeah.
Zigon
due to obesity legislation, yes.
cbale2000
Declining birth rates probably don't help either
Zigon
overall population is skyrocketing what do you mean
cbale2000
Mostly from adult immigration. The data doesn't lie.
Artieechan
Friends my age late 20s-early 30s just keep having miscarriages or just don't want kids.
SoftKleenex
Feels like all my friends are having kids, some with multiples
SemiLucidUser
I forgot that everyone here is American, super confused for a second.
Taxicat
Well, they made having kids in this country prohibitively expensive, so…duh!
