Why is McDonald's the Largest Fast Food Chain if it sucks so much?

Their Signature meal is a Big Mac and Fries and a Big Mac does not taste as good as a Whopper, Whataburger, Hunger-Buster, or anything from Wendy's or Sonic.

it's cheap, and it tastes good

Looks like your judging statistics from OT :lol:. Remember, OT hates everything popular.. So the data is skewed here lol

McDonalds burgers suck, but their fries are addictive.

because they have amazing fries and okay everything else. Bk and Wendy have bad fries and okay everything else

I dunno.

Hungry Jacks is much better.

Now I want a Mcdonalds.

McDonalds doesn't suck. They serve decent fast food at a very cheap price.

The mcdouble is a great deal. Fries are good and cheaper than their competitors.

McDonalds is fvcking magic. What are you talking about?

For the same reason Justin Bieber, Call of Duty, and Apple products are popular. They appeal to the lowest common denominator and have good advertising.famicommander

McDonalds casual pink girlie burgers

Fast food all tastes the same to me.

Like sugar, fat, and grease. It only tastes good when you're starving. 

Basicly the right time at the right place, with the right advertising.

Mc D had a huge boom, back then and have somewhat struggled a bit to keep the sucess from back in the day.

Still they are amongst the cheapest (as far as I know) which might also have somewhat to do with it, atleast for teenagers.

My local McD's places are like starbucks. Free wifi, TV, very clean and tidy.  Then my local BK and wendys are sloppy shitholes and taste like pure grease.  I'll take McD's any day of the week over my other options

I suppose when you don't pay your employees enough to live without going on welfare you can afford to open more places.

Never had Wendy's. Heard a lot of good things. One of my first destinations if I ever visit the US. And dat der Four Guys obvMrPraline

I'd skip Wendy's and go to Five Guys a second time.

I like their fries. 

If they could only merge their fries with Wendy's or BK's burgers into one fast food joint, then I be a happy camper.

because chicken mc nuggets.

I think it is also because of their standard menu and relatively consistent product.  You can order a number 1 in New  York and it will be prepared exactly the same as a number 1 in LA.  A lot of fast food places are like this but none that I know of are as consistent as McDonalds.  Plus its just a really well run company with extremely strict rules.  The health inspector in my city was talking about how when corporate McDonalds comes to a store, its one strike and you're out for the manager when dealing with cleanliness and rules and they are supposedly ALOT more strict than the actual health department.  I look up to them as one of the "great" companies of the world in terms of business design.
