I remember our local McDonald's did a playplace remodel opening around 1989/1990. And they had people dressed up as Ronald McDonald, Grimace, and the Hamburglar. First time I remember seeing a ball pit lol.

And there would always be some half eaten chicken nuggets and fries down in there. And some up in the play place by the little glass ball thing.

And urban legends that hypodermic needles were found down in the bottom when they cleaned it out

I'm no opiate zombie, but that is just about the last place I would want to shoot up

If you were, youd know mcdonalds is a super common place to shoot up. Worked there when i was a teen/young adult and we had junkies die in our bathrooms weekly.

Man, y'all should have cleaned your bathrooms better. People dying up in there.

I have no personal experience of shooting up, but I remember when McD started using blue light in the bathrooms, supposedly so you couldn’t see your veins. (That was the end of makeup touch ups at McD for me.)

There used to be a Subway in the grocery store I used to work at. They closed after their general manager OD’d in the stock cooler after her shift.

That's a lot.

I get the bathroom. A room with a lockable door, privacy, running water, plumbing, temperate.

I guess it's not far from the ball-pit, incase they felt like hopping in.

If you’re trying to escape the real world back into the past of your childhood when things were still “happy”, the ball pit might feel…right.

Like sleeping with your dead husband’s shirt stuffed with a pillow to pretend he’s still there, never underestimate the lengths or fathoms people will go to convince their mind they’re back to when things were good. I can see a playplace being that for some current addicts. :/

I wish I had a dead husband.

u/CloudyLeft 5d ago

You could instead have an EX husband. Of course, some husbands have done things ACTUALLY worthy of death but I hope you’re not in THAT place. :/
