A Few Thoughts About McDonalds

Jim Delligatti who "invented" the Big Mac" died at age 98 on November 28, 2016.  It was reported that Jim ate a "Big Mac" once a week.

There is now a McDonald's on Irving Park Road in Bensenville, Illinois.  Leaving Bensenville in June, 1971, I really don't remember a McDonald's in Bensenville.  I remember other greasy hamburger joints that were Mom and Pop drive ins and a chain called Yankee Doodle that was hangout my parents were leary of because it had become a hangout.

There was a McDonald's across the street (Business 66) in Normal, Illinois.  I ate dinner there on Sunday Evenings because the dorm cafeteria was closed and a burger and fries were cheap.

In Miami, at the U, Burger King was closer to campus but it was cheaper to eat and live at home and I was always busy with part time jobs.

Poverty and inconvenience made fast food one of the last things on my mind in Morgantown, WV.

And now for something slightly different I ask about "Trump Branded Stuff".  I will always connect "Trump Branded Stuff" with DJT questioning the citizenship of Barrack Obama and his right to be President of the United States.

I understand branding when it come to "fast food".  No matter where you go it looks the same and tastes the same because: you follow the recipe to the "t".

In politics and governing this is troublesome.
