Which McDonald’s slogan was used in the 1984 campaign “It’s a good time”?

The story behind the answer

The 1984 McDonald’s slogan was “It’s a good time for the great taste of McDonald’s.”

The line connected a positive social occasion with the taste of McDonald’s food and appeared in the company’s advertising during the 1980s. It belongs to a sequence of slogans that McDonald’s used to present its restaurants as convenient, familiar, and enjoyable places to eat.

The wording is easy to mix up with other McDonald’s campaigns. “You Deserve a Break Today” was associated with an earlier major campaign, while “Nobody can do it like McDonald’s can” was another separate slogan. “Food, Folks and Fun” belongs to a later period.

McDonald’s slogan history is useful for tracking how the company shifted emphasis between convenience, taste, family experiences, and emotional associations.
