A 1987 Aussie McDonald’s breakfast menu has gone viral - for one very BIG reason

It was found hidden in a Maccas manager’s office! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 06 Mar 2019

A lot has changed since 1987. The internet, YouTube, Shane Warne’s hair .... and, it seems, the prices at McDonald’s.

A breakfast menu from the fast food giant has been posted on Facebook by Sydney man Chad Bonello, and it shows just much prices have gone up over the last 30 years. 

A 1987 Aussie McDonald’s breakfast menu has gone viral - for one very BIG reason

Chad claims he found the brekkie list hidden in the manager’s office at a McDonald’s in Woodbine, Sydney, back in 2002 - and included a voucher for a free breakfast item, redeemable in store by March 23, 1987.

The menu advertises Egg McMuffins, Sausage McMuffins with Egg and Scrambled Eggs and Muffins all for just $1.65 each - way less than the $4.50 you’d pay now for a Sausage and Egg McMuffin.

As for Hot Cakes, for were just $1.65 also - a far cry from the $4.45 you’d pay now. While a Hash Brown would only set you back 60 cents, way less than the $1.90 you need to fork out in 2019.

‘Compare the prices of the egg McMuffin and Sausage and egg McMuffin … can’t believe I was paying those prices back then,’ one Facebook user commented.

Many social media users were also left wishing McDonald’s would bring back the Big Breakfast - which cost just $2.75 for sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns and a toasted muffin.

Said one: ‘The big breakfast was the best should never have been removed from the menu.’ Added another: ‘About a month ago I went into McDonald’s and asked about the Big breakfast and the girl just looked at me with a blank look on her face. She had no idea why I was talking about and had never heard of it. Made me feel really old lol.’
