18. I'm pretty sure they did because, even as a kid I noticed how the taste changed

over time. The obvious things, like cooking their fries in vegetable oil instead of lard, were easy to spot. We got the McMuffin in Denver in the '70s and the egg, cheese, and Canadian Bacon were all recognizable and tasted the same as what we would get at other restaurants, we even started making them ourselves. Plus, things like the empty Thomas' English muffin packages.

The first things I noticed changing were the meat and the buns. Burger King and A&W still tasted like a burger for years after McD's burgers changed to whatever they were/are.
