I'd rather see it on a map of the USA?


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


Really makes you think


Haha


A scrolling visualization to show the sheer number of things reminds me of this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J6BQDKiYyM


"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


Yeah I'm gonna be that guy and say all I see are a bunch of little empty boxes.


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.


fixed it - it should redirect to correct url! :D
