I do enjoy eating a McDonalds -occasionally-

No other place have I seen such great diversity in employment, I met a lot of great people who have a background from McDonald's in their youths.

That said, I always wondered how I would appriciate working there with t-shirt with "I'm loving it" written all over.

Growing up I worked at a local pizza chain.

Decades later vividly remember the smell and how the ugly white and green polo felt on me. I was not a fan of the uniform.

Isnt the number 14,146 enough, why print 14.146 hamburger icons?

Its a lot more informative to scroll and comprehend the size of the number

That's why i love putting sizes into Wolfram Alpha, it gives you various alternative measurements like "football fields" so it's often easier to comprehend

If each McDonalds were the size of a football field, then every McDonalds laid end to end would span the length of 14,146 football fields.

If you lined all the drive-throughs end to end would it get to the moon and back?

Edit: not even close. You'd need a little under 2mi of drive through per location to get to the moon

wow... What device / OS are you using? The site uses regular Emoji's as opposed to images to ensure your cpu doesn't slow down.

"In United States you can buy 8 Big Mac's with $50"

Followed by ten burger emojis..

Based on other countries it looks like they are truncating the unit price before dividing $50 by it.

Apologies, the burger calculation was rounding off to the wrong integer - Javascript . Fixed it! :D
