    Remarkably, the farthest you can be from a McDs in the contiguous US is 107 miles...

    Well McDonald's and 7/11s are the only things in cities open for night truckers.

    Uh, what about those people in Ozona, Texas?
    HINT: look up "Mcdonald's Restaurant, Ozona" in Google Maps... ;)

    You say "damn" like it's a bad thing. Why such hatred for McDonald's? If you don't like them, just don't go there. Don't hate 'cuz they're rich.

    Also, spoiler that DAMN map. It stretches the common screen size, yo. :p

    All I get when doing your search is Burger King. Please provide link.

    McDonalds is the anti-christ, I guarantee you.

    I would maybe give them a little more credit, but then I remember that their food ****ing sucks.

    actually mcdonalds isn't so bad in some other parts of the world.....i guess in the places where the ingredients aren't as loaded with hormones and gmo patents....the interiors are quite nice in some of them too......spanish steps in rome, at the start of the old town in bratislava, roppongi in tokyo just to name a few :)

    Don't forget the beer at the ones in Barcelona.

    FYI, a lot of McDonald's market cap is based on the Land value of their restaurants. Places like Times Square, Paris (down the street from the Louvre), etc are extremely high value real estate and a huge asset for Mickey D's.

    McDonalds is not in the burger business... They're in the real estate business.

    I never go to McDonald's in the US, the last time a went was probably 5-10 years ago. However, the ones in Europe and Asia actually are much better. I remember the one at the bottem of the Spanish steps in Rome served beer and wine. The ones overseas also have much nicer interiors, often times with video game systems, individual tvs and I've even seen personal dvd players.

    I don't hate McDonald's because they are rich or because I am elitist, I hate McDonald's because of their urban advertising brand aimed specifically at making poor people and minorities eat up the garbage that this corporation cranks out on a mass scale...
