No, they sell more french fries than any other single item.

Of course! Fries are multiple, and if you count every single one... but, then again, you can't get a single fry at McD's. Frankly, I have my doubts about this statistic (or parameter).

Oh yea of little faith.

Think about it. Something like 90% of all the sandwiches they sell, the customer gets an order of fries also.

"Statistics" ...the math course that almost cost me two degrees. Memories of that class still gives me nightmares 35 years later!

And to think I designed our Quantitative Research Methods course. But it was a lot of fun; one of the texts I used was "How to Lie with Statistics!"

Fast food trivia quiz: What does McDonalds sell more of than anything else?

.

Yeah Coke.

I don't know. Maybe Coca Koala?

Is that how you spell cola? Is that a french thing?

 

[Handley_Page]

Yeah Coke.

In the UK, 'Coke' is, or rather was, a fuel used on open fires (and industry).
It was the result of having all the gas taken out (later circulated for domestic use).

Koala ?
That a cute little Australian bear thing, ain't it ?

Belgium

Belgium

Does Belgium also want a referendum to leave the EU?

btw koalas are rare in 'the outback'. Too dry for them out there. Most live closer to the coast of Australia.

You could be right Tio, I am not a roo expert. Wallabies and kangaroos are slightly different.

Twenty-Mule Team Borax from Death Valley

(Though now the borax comes from the dry bed of Lake Owen, lost when Los Angeles stole the Owen River. In the Owen River Valley today you can read signs posted explaining how wonderful it was that the river was diverted - before then, the land was owned by farmers; now it was public and suitable for recreation).
