    They’re entrenched

    For every Wendy’s or Burger King, there’s like four McDonald’s

    When it’s 3:25am and you want a hot, vaguely food-themed thing to put in your mouth to satisfy the primal need for salt and fat, it’s liable to be something from McDonald’s

      Yes. The last time I ate a McDonald’s burger was about a year ago around that time of night when a friend and I were drunk and he insisted we go to McDonald’s. I objected because I thought it was going to be shit, but I have to admit it was surprisingly all actually pretty damn delicious. Keep in mind though that I was very, very drunk and very hungry. Before that, I hadn’t eaten a McDonald’s burger meal for at least a decade, likely longer. I think they are kept afloat by people who are either very poor or very drunk.
