okay... so after clicking on ads and links and all this stuff.. (yes, i was bored.. and still am) i stumbled upon some mcdonalds facts that i just thought were kinda interesting to know.
i actually found these at i-am-asian.com which is actually a mcdonalds site focused on the mcdonalds of asia... anywho.. Fascinating Facts About McDonald's -The smallest McDonald's restaurant measures only 492 square feet and is on the Ginza in Tokyo, Japan. -Ronald McDonald® speaks more than 25 different languages. -The sun never sets on The Golden Arches®. -McDonald's opens a new restaurant every four hours. -The oldest structure to house a McDonald's restaurant is located in Shrewsbury, England. One of the restaurant's exterior walls dates back to the thirteenth century. -McDonald's first restaurant in China opened in 1990. -Every day, McDonald's serves more than 46 million people. -McDonald's has sold well over 100 billion hamburgers. -Ronald McDonald speaks more than 25 languages, including Cantonese, Portuguese, Hindi, Tagalog and Russian. -McDonald's largest market outside the U.S. is Japan, with more than 3,000 McDonald's restaurants. -Ronald McDonald is "Donald McDonald™" in Japan because it makes pronunciation easier for the Japanese. In Singapore he's known as "Uncle McDonald." -Antarctica is the only continent that does not have a McDonald's restaurant - yet. -The busiest international McDonald's restaurant is located on Pushkin Square in Moscow, which serves 40,000 people every day. -The largest McDonald's restaurant internationally measures more than 28,000 square feet and is located in Beijing, in the People's Republic of China. -Ten of the busiest McDonald's in the world are located in Hong Kong. McDonald's is located in the world's tallest building, in the Kuala Lumpur Tower in Malaysia. -McDonald's restaurants in India are our only restaurants in the world where you cannot buy beef. You can purchase an all-lamb version of the Big Mac called the "Maharaja Mac™." -The shoe size of Ronald McDonald is 14 1/2 -- or, as Ronald likes to say, "extra long, by extra wide, by extra red." -McDonald's international restaurants occasionally develop other items which appeal to local tastes, such as a grilled salmon sandwich with dill sauce in Norway, rice dishes in Japan, a Samurai pork burger in Thailand, frankfurters and beer in Germany, a McHuevo™ (a hamburger with a poached egg on top) in Uruguay, and McSpaghetti™ in the Philippines. and yes i am a fan of mcdonalds.  edit// crap. i should have put this in foods. can anybody move it? |

QUOTE(Spiritual Winged Aura @ Mar 15 2005, 08:51 PM)  haha, that's very interesting and the site is hilarious ... how come in india, you cant buy beef ? From what I remember (i do not feel like looking this up and verifying), but a bull or a cow is considered holy in India. It is a god to them. I believe the only people really do with the cow is drink its pee.

McDonald's food went down the drain 2 years ago... =_= The burgers taste like carboard/paper to me... =X And the fries aren't as great as they used to be.. *sigh* The Parfaits are still good.
ANYWAYS, Yea a substitute teacher showed me a picture of the biggest mcdonald's in the world in China --- it's like 2 or 3 stories, I think. It was a long time ago, and I'm too lazy to google it. :P WTH... If it's so popular in Japan, how are the Japanese so thin?! And the Chinese too! =X |

When my friend worked at mcdonalds, she always burned herself.
Sometimes, I don't know where my food comes from. |

I was walking down the street near where I live and passed by a McDonald's. The smell made me want to throw up. Or maybe that was because I had also passed a Taco Bell and Wendy's a minute earlier. Anyway, it didn't smell good. I haven't had McDonald's in years and I'm glad.

I haven't had fast food since summer last year. I had a bad experience with it and greasy foods tend to make me sick to my stomach without even tasting them. The language fact was repeated twice, but Ronald McDonald is one of my biggest fears and the reason i hate clowns.
