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
