Right, here comes my second post on burgers. 1934 saw the arrival of the drive-thru. This changed the landscape of the fast food service and burgers forever. The whole concept of being able to stay in your car and get served a meal is the backbone of the fast food industry. Thats what "fast food" is. Food, fast.
MacDonalds opened in 1948. It was a hotdog stand that was going to revolutionize the burger that was in turn going to change the way we eat. The Big Mac was introduced in 1968.
You have to give the burger credit in America - listen to these statistics;
~Americans on average eat 3 hamburgers a week
~Macdonalds has sold 12 burgers for each person on the planet
~7% of the American workforce had their first job at MacDonalds
~Burgers account for nearly 60% of sandwiches eaten
Would you like fries with that? Fries consume 7.5% of American potatoes.
