It's National Fast Food Day, and here's the story of an uncommon fast food restaurant: the Friendship 500, a floating McDonald's restaurant in the 80s nicknamed the "McBarge."
50 years ago today, a man named Donald Gorske ate a McDonald’s Big Mac. It was the first of over 30,000, and yes, he holds the world record for most Big Macs eaten by a single person.
On any given day McDonald's serves huge numbers of people, either in restaurants or via drive-thru windows. But once, in the 1990s, the company also tried to operate restaurant cars on a long-distance German train line. Plus: since April 15 is traditionally tax day, so did you know that ancient Rome once taxed bachelors?
They said “eat more chicken.” He said, “okay.”
Hi! We have plenty to go over today.
If I was Wendy, I'd be freaking the heck out right now.
Let's, as a society, get past the idea that our home videos of dressing up as King Burger and subsequently walking into a Burger King are somehow hilarious. He's their mascot; where else would he go?
