Things You Didn't Know About McDonalds [infographic]

If, like many Australians, you probably eat fast food from time to time.

If that’s the case you’re likely to enjoy the following infographic from CompareCamp with a heap of facts you probably didn’t know about McDonalds.

Here’s an interesting fact to start with:

In 1955 a Coke executive got wind of a man who claimed his restaurant would take America by storm.

Curious, the executive pulled up to a new restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois and approached a guy with a water hose cleaning the parking lot.

He asked for the owner named Ray Kroc, the man who made the claim.

The guy with the hose smiled. He was Mr. Kroc.

Thus, the story goes how the world’s largest fast food chain met the world’s largest soft drinks company.

Today, McDonald’s is Coke’s largest customer.
