The burger chain is among the nation's oldest fast-food companies still in existence, and its packaging has changed drastically through the years.
With help from McDonald's, we've compiled images of the chain's take-out bags dating back to the 1950s.
From 1955 to 1961, the bags featured a mascot holding signs that read "custom built hamburgers" and "I'm speedier."

The company got rid of the mascot in 1961 and opted for a much simpler design on its bags. The packaging featured an early version of what we know today as the Golden Arches. This design was used until 1968.
