Growing up a '90s child I think everyone can agree that it was a treat to have McDonald's for lunch or dinner. Nowadays for kids it seems like a weekly occurrence due to how our society has developed. Over the years McDonald's has changed and some of these changes are annoying.

Portion Size & Price--College students don't have a lot of money but are still hungry:
Yes, obesity is an issue and cutting back on portion sizes is helpful to limiting the problem but to end up paying around $2 for a yogurt parfait that can be consumed in one spoonful when they used to be tripled the current size for less than $1!
But, I do think we all can agree that the All-Day Breakfast Menu was a genius idea, now can they just have Shamrock shakes year round?
