    I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

      lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”

      Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

        I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

        It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.
