So I order a quarter pounder BTL at McDonald's the other day.

And they use process food to do that. That helps with the low quality too.

Certainly. It also helps the low price. Even Bullgrit qualified his "good sandwich" with "for a fast food place." I don't think anyone here is trying to say McDonald's is the best (even amongst fast food restauarnts). I don't eat there much anymore, mainly because the fries are addictive and I have to avoid carbs like the plague.

You trade quality for price and convenience. I think 90% of adults who eat there understand this.

Of course, 80% of people know all statistics are made up.

Statistic n. - a fact or piece of data from a study of a large quantity of numerical data.

Since "I think" denotes that the following text is an opinion, I am 100% certain I didn't use a statistic. Maybe my 90% was too optimistic.

But McDonald's doesn't specialize in making burgers. They're specialization is getting food into your hands quickly and moving the line to serve as many people as they can.

Interesting note:
I just went to the website, and counted:

Burgers: 14
Chicken sandwiches: 11
Wraps: 15
Salads: 7
Breakfast sandwiches: 15
Coffees: 13

Calling McDonald's a burger place is like calling Wal-Mart a clothes place.

There are also about 300 McDonald's in India, where no beef is served at all.

It's McDonald's, so it's more like the apple pie is a lie.

How large does the quantity of numerical data have to be to qualify as a statistic?

More proof McDonald's doesn't make burgers.
