On the first day of business McDonalds made $366.12 worth of 15c hamburgers, 19-c cheeseburgers, 20-c milkshakes and 10-c fries.
Yes, especially McDonalds. They use much more fat now that they did in their beef in the 60s and thus they are 30% smaller today than when they were first served in the 60s.
Different stores have different prices; as do different regions. It is not possible to know a specific price from a specific restaurant over 40 years ago. _________________________________________________________________ Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's of his chain in 1955 (The brothers opened their first store in 1938). His hamburgers were for sale for 19 cents.
A McDonald's hamburger cost 15 cents in 1957.

The first motorway was opened in 1959 and it didn't have much effect on people.
McDonalds actually started in California, despite what the "official" company history claims. Two brothers converted their BBQ restaurant to a hamburger stand in San Berndarino, CA. They developed the "Speedee Service" system. They opened several other franchises, including one in Phoenix, AZ and another in Downey, CA. The one in Downey, franchised in 1953, is still in operation, and it is the oldest McDonalds still in operation today. Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman was so impressed with the restaurant system the McDonalds brothers had developed, he bought the whole company for $2 million. In 1955, he opened his first franchise in Des Plaines, IL. The "official" company history states that this was the first restaurant, or at least the first franchise. But, in fact, it was the fifth McDonalds and the fourth franchise. Note that the restaurant in Downey, which is still in operation, actually predates Kroc's buy-out by two years, but the company still maintains that the one in Des Plaines (which is no longer a restaurant, but houses a museum) was the first. That restaurant in San Bernardino, CA, by the way, was responsible for the birth of several other chains, including Taco Bell, Burger King, and Wienerschnetzel (although those chains didn't necessarily open in San Bernardino, they were conceived by workers at that very first McDonalds, and friends of the McDonalds brothers).As far as the first McDonalds in Napa, California, it is more difficult to tell when it opened. An earlier response (above the line) said 1955, but I doubt that is the truth, since Kroc was just opening his first franchise in Des Plaines that particular year.
You can get them at; Burger Street (calorie-low burgers with alot of protein), not McDonalds! (too much fat and oil used) and you can also get them at Steak n Shake (not only healthy, but their hamburgers are the best). Steak n Shake and Burger Street are fast food areas and have good healthy hamburgers too.
2 GALLONS
not as much as Mcdonalds
That depends on which restaurant you are talking about. Some restaurants have healthy hamburgers while others have hamburgers loaded with fat.
