Back when the McDonald brothers started their restaurant in 1940, their simple menu only had nine items on it. The “Amazing Menu” was full of fun adjectives to describe the food and drinks, like the downright “delightful” root beer. And the most expensive thing on it was the shake at 20-cents.
Fast food was a new concept back then and here’s what was on the original McDonald’s menu:
Pure Beef Hamburger ... 15-cents
Tempting Cheeseburger ... 19-cents
Triple-Thick Shakes ... 20-cents
Golden French Fries ... 10-cents
Thirst-Quenching Coke … 10-cents
Delightful Root Beer … 10-cents
Steaming Hot Coffee … 10-cents
Full-Flavor Orange Drink … 10-cents
Refreshing Cold Milk … 12-cents
