I do remember the little pizzas (was mid 80's wasn't it?), but I don't recall them delivering them.

Pizza / McPizza - McDonald's has also attempted pizza at various times, with an apple-pielike McPizza and more conventional McDonald's Pizza. A line of personal-sized pizzas was first seen in the late 1970s in test-market stores near interstate highways around Milwaukee and Madison. In British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Newfoundland & Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia (c. 1992-1997), the pizza originally began as a family-sized pizza that was brought out to the table by an employee and placed on a raised rack in the centre of the table. Later it was scaled down to a personal-sized pizza. However, variations have found their way into some international markets such as India (the pie-like "Pizza McPuff"). McDonald's also test marketed a 14-inch, round, traditional-style pizza in Evansville, Indiana, and nearby Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1989.[20] By 1991, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 McDonald's locations before the pizza test was placed on hold.[21]

Neither do I. We had the pizzas, but not delivery.
I was in high school when they showed up here, so I'm pretty sure it was the early 90s. However, I'm not sure whether that's when they showed up everywhere else - my local McDonalds was some sort of test marketing facility, so they'd tend to roll out new items there before we'd see them anywhere else (or, like the Hawaiian Burger, before they disappeared never to be seen again).

It is what it is
Someone may have said it already (haven't read the thread) so sorry if it's a repeat...
The reason Burger King and other Burger Places got their arses kicked by McDonald's in the 80s and 90s was because BK did not realizing the market they were in... Burger King thought they were in the "hamburger business" while McDonald's knew they were in the "kid's entertainment business"...
Despite inferior food, McDs kicked BKs arse via birthday parties, playgrounds, toys with meals, a bunch of characters led by a freaky clown, and marketing targeted at young children. Nothing to do with food (which is crap).

Heh... somewhere at my Mom's house is an ALF record that I got from Burger King. It was some sort of lamination on cardboard. It came with an ALF Bouilliabaisseball game
I don't think I can remember a single soccer tournament or school track day that I was ever at as a kid where we didn't have those big red McDonalds coolers of orange drink.

I know that the McDonald's in Springfield, Ohio would deliver if your order was over $20
But they did not start that till the pizzas and they stopped it when they discontinued the pizzas.

Wonder if that is why their mascot is a clown.....?
Wild! We never had that here.

I dislike McDonalds greatly.

I do have to say...if I was in another country the last place I would go to eat would be McDonald's. :yes:
I can't even bring myself to try the pizza at Subway. I would have to be starving to try a McDonald's pizza. Being a former Chicago boy I take food quality, and especially pizza, very seriously. :yes:
I know one thing though. If I was going to order $20 worth of food it would not be from McDonald's even if they offered free delivery. You could do so much better for $20 elsewhere.

Nope. That's because of a secret law that all corporations must show their evil in some manner. This is why so many corporations include "satanic" iconography so cunningly hidden that only fundies can find it. Mc Donalds took a more direct approach.

At least here in New England (not sure about elsewhere), they started serving Newman's Own Fair Trade coffee, which actually tasted great (and came in slightly more bio-degradable paper cups).
So while I refuse to touch anything else there, I will buy a coffee from them, at least to reward them for having something close to socially-responsible.

Do they put your cream and sugar in it for you there too for fear that you might fill your pockets with Sweet & Low before leaving?

Cream and sugar in coffee? What sacrilege do you speak of?!
But yes, were I to not ask for no cream or sugar, they would put it in for me.
Here, I think they mainly do that because Tim Hortons does it.
BTW - for the next few days, the McDonaldses here (at least in Ontario - dunno about the rest of Canada) are giving away coffee.
Literally. No purchase needed, just go in and ask for a cup of coffee. I think it ends on the 14th.
I think it's part loss leader to sell breakfasts and part attempt to undermine Tim Hortons at Roll-up time.

Speaking of...how could one even drink McDonald's coffee after trying an Iced Cap at Tim Hortons?

Huh?
The question SHOULD be: How can anyone drink coffee, regardless of where it is from?
:run:

What's better... a Le Big Mac, a Royale with Cheese or a Big Kahuna Burger?

I love their french fries. Their hamburgers and chicken nuggets are okay if I'm in the right mood. I've got to inspect those nugs very carefully to get rid of the gross parts though, but all chicken has gross parts. I also have to press the nugs between napkins to get some of the greese off. I love BBQ sauce.
