Doubling Down On the Dollar Menu-- Part 1

From the March 10, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Doubling Down On the Dollar"  by Emily Bryson York.

McDonald's is now celebrating the tenth year of its highly innovative Dollar Menu, which caused most of the other chains to start offering a similar selection.  Lately, McDonald's is re-emphasizing this iconic menu, especially in light of the continuing recession for the regular folk (the GRBs who got us into the mess have been amply rewarded by the government with the loans and low-low-LOW interest rates).

A LOOK BACK AT THE FIRST DOLLAR MENU (launched in 2002)

These were on that first menu.

Big N Tasty
McChicken
Fries
Drink
Sundae
Two Apple Pies
Side Salad
Parfait

Big N Tasty, fries, drink (at some stores, others have $1 for any size!!) and two apple pies have since been removed.

I also seem to remember the double cheeseburger being offered for awhile until replaced with the McDouble (same sandwich but one less piece of cheese).
