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.

-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."

-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.
