McDonald's

           One of the most famous fast food shops is the McDonald’s. It has 30,000 stores in 118 countries and areas around the world (As of June, 2009). The first store in the world was opened in the Chicago suburbs of Illinois in 1955. In Japan, the first store was opened in Ginza of Tokyo in May 1971.

           As you know, the McDonald’s symbol is red and yellow mark. This is because McDonald’s locates the premium arch as symbol. However, some stores do not use red and yellow colors or match a surrounding landscape. For example, the outside of the store in New York near the Times Square is very showy and in Kyoto of Japan, not to spoil scenery, stores use brown.

           In addition, the size of drink in Japan is different from that of U.S. The small size of Japan is 300ml but in U.S it is 700ml. The small size of U.S is larger than the large size of Japan; 650ml. The large size of U.S is 1300ml. Surprisingly, in U.S stores sold the Super Size Me larger than large size! Furthermore, you can have another serving!

           In Islamic countries, which prohibit peoples from eating pork McDonald’s stores use lamb, chicken, whitefish and croquette made of vegetables as ingredients of hamburgers. McDonald’s in Italy also supply pasta to people.

           In this way, McDonald’s meets demand of people in each country, so now it is no exaggeration to say that McDonald’s is the most loved fast-food restaurant.

 

Let’s go to NewYork, eat hamburger and learn English at PCTECH!
