I don't like eating from McDonald's but it's so cheap and easy.
I agree. I only recently found out that it's been around since the 40's!
Really? Do you know how long it took for them to become a big franchise?
I believe that was in 1955 when Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent.
Wow. Crazy that it's been a part of our lives for so long. I read the other day that there's only one state capital that has no McDonald's. Montpelier.
Wow. That's surprising for the world's largest restaurant chain not to be in a state capital!
Yeah, I know. It's also the smallest capital though. Do you know how far away you can be from a McDonald's in the US?
No, I don't, do you?
You can only ever be about 100 miles away, I think. And you have to work hard for that. Somewhere in the Dakotas, I think.
Interesting. Well at least they have added salads to their menus to make it a little healthier!
