McDonald's has been popular in Scotland ever since the first-ever restaurant here opened in Dundee in 1987.
According to stats site statista.com, there are now over 100 restaurants across Scotland.
The restaurant chain has become so ubiquitous in the country, that it wasn't long after opening that they started serving Irn-Bru alongside Coke and Fanta.
But Irn-Bru isn't the only change they've made over the years. Who can remember The Hamburglar, the McDonald's Playground or even a time when they sold pizza?
To celebrate Scotland's love of McDonald's, we've come up with a nostalgic list of things you no longer see at McDonald's from back-in-the-day. How many of these do you remember?
McDonald's Pizza
McDonald's did sell pizzas for a limited period in some restaurants in the mid 1990s as part of a sales and product test. The restaurant trialled three flavours - Cheese, Cheese & Pepperoni and the Deluxe (cheese, green pepper, onion, peperoni and more).
Each pizza was eight inches across and cut into four slices. But if you're salivating at the thought of getting your hands on a McDonald's pizza you're in for a disappointment.
On their website, McDonald's has said they have no plans to reintroduce pizza to their menu at this time.
Polystyrene burger boxes
A blast from the past, these clamshell beauties were good for sauce lovers but were also an environmentalist's worst nightmare.
However, breaking them up after the meal was also immensely satisfying.
Commenting on Reddit, user Jofeshenry said: "I still remember the squeak it made when you closed it and the snap sound it made when you crushed it."
In 1990, McDonald’s agreed to stop using foam for their burger packaging.
However, they continued to use it in other items, like cups, for years to come. It wasn’t until 2018 that they made the promise to eliminate it from their global markets.
McDonald's Playgrounds
Some lucky places were not only provided with a McDonald's restaurant but also came with a playground outside.
Some people even claim to remember there being a McDonald's ball pit.
The reason you don't see them these days is apparently that McDonald's franchises favour more seating and lower land costs.
However, McDonald's has built playgrounds in the grounds of various Ronald McDonald Houses in the UK, made from recycled materials, for families to enjoy while taking care of their seriously ill children.
Ronald McDonald and Friends
Ronald McDonald is the chain's clown mascot who inhabits the fictional world of McDonaldland. Once a staple on British TV adverts in the '80s and '90s, these days your rarely see the clown with his friends Mayor McCheese, the Hamburglar, Grimace, Birdie the Early Bird and The Fry Kids.
Today, you're more likely to see an appearance by Ronald McDonald at a special event or entertaining children at Ronald McDonald House.
However, in 2011, a group of 500 doctors and other health professionals took out newspaper ads saying a fast-food clown mascot that targets children was unethical and should be retired.
Ronald McDonald benches
Some branches in the UK were said to have benches outside where you could sit next to the not at all creepy statue of Ronald McDonald with his arm around you.
Personally, in this Instagram age, we think it's something that needs to be brought back.
Having a birthday party in the children's area
Not really something you see these days, but back in the 1980s and 1990s, the decor in parts of McDonald's restaurants seemed to be geared more towards children.
But if you were the kid who was inviting your friends to your birthday at a McDonald's then you'd be sure to be talk of the school.
Classic McDonald's menu
Although many of the items on this classic McDonald's menu are still staple elements of the menu today, there's no getting away from those prices.
We mean, 89p for a big Mac, and another 12p off if you eat it outside.
It's also worth noting that McDonald's breakfast items were not introduced to the UK until 1982 and you could order your eggs scrambled.
1990s Happy Meals
Although Happy Meals had been introduced to the US restaurants in 1979, it took them until 1986 to appear in the UK.
Aimed at children, now many of the Happy Meal packaging and toys from the '80s and '90s have become much sought-after collector items.
Many McDonald's Happy Meals are in collaboration with big-name movies or toys offering themed merchandise such as Transformers, Star Wars, Lego, and Toy Story.
Classic McDonald's uniforms
Unlike the modern polo shirt and baseball caps sported by today's McDonald's employees, uniforms back in the 1980s featured striped shirts and small sharply cornered hats, reminiscent of what you see in a classic American diner.
McDonald's ashtrays
Until the indoor smoking ban for pubs, shops and restaurants came into force in the UK in 2006, you would likely see one of these ashtrays at every table in your local McDonald's.
Some were made of aluminium while others were made of glass.
