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

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.

McDonald's did start out as a burger place. They still have that association, and while mcDonald's has expanded its menu options, it hasn't publicly tried to change the perception that it is a burger place (even though it doesn't actually make burgers).

That's where the mistake is made. They are a fast-food joint with $1-5 burgers, not a burger joint. I agree with you regarding gourmet burger joints*, but those are typically $6-10 burgers. Very tasty burgers, but more than some are willing to spend regularly.
*I highly recommend Bulldogs in Grayslake, IL for those in the area.

I like burgers made in my favorite resturant: MY KITCHEN

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

What about the other 20 percent?

Depends on the shares of product sold burgers represent.

If 75% of products sold everyday are burgers, well, you got yourself a burger place.

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.

Oh, well then what you think doesn't really matter.

True, but I figured I throw my match on the bonfire of inanity.

Certainly more than my lone non-statistical personal opinion.

No foolin'? My wife's a trained chef, of course we both prefer her homemade burgers. But we're not always home and don't always have the time. Like I said, you trade quality for convenience.

How much more? One opinion more? Two opinions more?

Exactly 41 more.
