That is interesting about the popularity of McDonald's. I remember about 20, 25 years ago when I was only a little kid...going to McDonald's was like a big treat for us. Now, it's like meh. Take it or leave it. I rarely eat there for lunch any more, although I do confess to getting breakfast a few times a month (their breakfast food is so damn good). I actually worked there for about 6 years in highschool and the first couple of years of college. It's popularity is definitely not what it used to be.

The menu selection there is improving. You can get fruit juice at most of the ones around here, and also fruit salads an a bunch of "healthier" alternatives.

I lost my taste for BK quite a while ago. I started to think that the burgers tasted/smelled like window cleaner or something, though their dutch apple pie dessert is fantastic and so are their onion rings.

Arby's - the food is good, not great. However I have a lot of good memories about it because my mom used to take me there a lot when I'd go grocery shopping with her. Get the roast beef sandwich and apple turnovers.
