I ate at a McDonald's in India They had a guy that opens the door for you, too, lol. They had stuff like Maharaja Burgers. They give out tiny containers of ketchup - no ketchup packs I guess people would only eat ketchup packs there

Does anybody know if this is true or false?

If this is true, should we demand through UN mandate, that ALL member countries have at least one McDonald's?

You'll regret saying this after they all start suing the US for making them fat .

I'm pretty sure they have a McDonlad's in Germany. Didn't we fight them in WWII? Doesn't Japan have a McDonald's? Or do you mean hasn't been in a war against eachother since the McDonald's was constructed?

This sounds like a different way of saying any country that has accepted and joined the "globalization" movement. Thomas Friedman (he's actually on Oprah right now) compares countries that have done so to these finely tuned robots in a Lexus plant he visited, and those that refuse to accept it (countries like Afghanistan and such) olive trees. When the lexus and the olive tree meet, they will always clash. Thus his book about Globalization - The Lexus and the Olive Tree.

Also sounds like a blend of the whole Big Mac economics thing. Basically you can figure the currency exchange or something like that by going to each country with a McD's and find the currency exchange.

the USA attacked Yugoslavia in 1999, which had a mcdonalds.

edit: the only people who benefit from mcdonalds are heart surgeons and coroners.
