Oh oh, we did this in world studies! Well, kinda...

So near World War I [or some war, I forget] Britain had a saying that went like "The sun never sets on the British empire" meaning that there were so many countries in the British empire that the sun would always be up in an area of the world where there was a British-owned country.

So it's kinda the same with McDonalds, I guess. There are so many "golden arches" around the world that it's impossible for the sun to set on an area without one.

Wow, funny facts. Kinda weerddd
