As I sit here munching on a cheap, but somehow still-not-quite-worth-it cheeseburger from Burger King, I begin to think; gee, I’ve spent a lot of money on fast food in my life. In one week alone I could easily spend at least $50 on junk even as my home sits (relatively) full of groceries waiting to be cooked and eaten. But I know I’m certainly not alone.
In the US, four of the most popular fast food chains are McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell and KFC. Each of these are essentially considered classic American food - for some, the US’s addiction to fast food is a joke, while for others it’s very much a reality. These four fast food chains are highly profitable and easily recognizable across the entire US and many individual regions have their own iconic fast food joints; Church’s Fried Chicken in much of the south, In-N-Out in the west, and I’m sure countless more that I haven’t been exposed to but that are nonetheless staples for the locals in different areas. All told, the US fast food industry makes something like $280 billion a year. The industry has been criticized for contributing to the nation’s obesity epidemic as much as for falling standard, especially in the past few years, but it no less charges on quite efficiently.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it; save me and the millions of Americans like me a good chunk of change by killing the fast food industry. The POD must be sometime before 1990 but no earlier than 1950. Can it be done in this window?
