  1. Wooow! McDonalds overload! But I found an interesting article that said that there is something else that has McDonalds beaten. Libraries! In the US, there are more libraries than Starbucks or McDonalds, which is a surprising but heartening bit of trivia. Here's the link if you're interested in reading the article.

  2. Looks pretty extreme, but the M-logo/tag is far larger then the only visible city on the map.

    1. True, but note the real number is still staggeringly large. This from the McDonalds UK website: "Within the UK, there are approximately 1200 restaurants"

    2. That's something like 1 per 55,000 people. The English must sure like burgers and fries (oops I mean chips).
