Fast Food has pretty much permeated the entire planet, some
places more than others. I'm sure all of
us, whether only on a rare occasion or several times a week, have utilized that
drive-up window to grab a quick bite to eat.
After all, "fast" indicates we don't have time to get out of
our cars and go inside a building. :) Here
in the U.S., it has become a way of life for some.
I recently came across a list of fascinating and fun facts
relating to fast food and I'd like to share them with you.
1) McDonald's chicken
McNuggets come in four shapes—the ball, the bow-tie, the boot and the bell [all
beginning with B, planned or coincidence?].
2) The largest fast
food chain in the world is NOT McDonald's—it's Subway.
3) Singer Jason Mraz
sells avocados to his local Chipotle.
4) A 30 oz. large
McDonald's iced tea [sweet tea] has as much sugar as two Snickers candy bars.
5) The founders of
the Outback Steak House chain have never been to Australia [although I do not
consider Outback to be a fast food eating establishment].
6) Ben & Jerry's
Ice Cream has chunks in its various flavors because Ben has anosmia [loss of
the sense of smell] so he relies on "mouth-feel" when eating.
7) A traditional
Christmas dinner in Japan consists of KFC [that's "new" tradition
rather than long time traditional
:)]. They place their Kentucky
Fried Chicken order as much as two months in advance.
8) In the contiguous
U.S. [lower 48 states, excluding Alaska and Hawaii] you can never be more than
115 miles from a McDonald's.
9) Pizza Hut once
spent one million dollars to deliver a pizza.
What? Did you hear that
correctly? You certainly did, but you
need to take into consideration where they delivered it. The destination was quite a distance away
[definitely not within that 115 miles mentioned in #8]. They sent it…into space. I don't know if it was the most popular
pepperoni or something more exotic.
