I don't remember the ad, but I DO remember in Hartford, CT in 1966,
going to my first McDonald's for lunch with co-workers (many of them
Cuban immigrants) and all of us being pleasantly amazed at the prices.

IIRC, they were something like:

hamburger $.10
cheeseburger $.15
small Coke $.10
small fries $.15 (in a small paper bag, less than 3 inches square)

Of course at the time there were no "meal deals" or the mega burgers
they have now, no " two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce,
cheese, onion, pickle on a sesame seed bun". That came with
competition, years later.
