Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Want to open a fast food restaurant franchise? It seems your best bet may be overseas rather than in your own town or city. Residents of Japan are lining up at newly built American franchises to get their fill of McDonald's, Krispy Kreme, and ice cream treats.According to one report, Japan's first Krispy Kreme, which was built in December, is still drawing hour-long line ups. In the first three days of business alone the doughnut shop drew in 10,000 customers.
McDonald's, of course, is enjoying similar success - apparently selling 1.7 million Mega Macs in just four days. The four-patty burger will return to the Japanese market in April and May, and you can be sure they will be selling in record numbers again. Burger King is planning to reopen in Japan this year, and I'm sure a number of other large chain restaurants will make their way over soon.
Ironic though, that while we as North Americans are trying to slim down and are eating more and more sushi, tofu, and traditional Japanese-style meals, they are wolfing down our McBurgers and ice cream, claiming not to be satiated with their current offerings.
