2. McDonald’s is Brazil’s largest employer
Also, this is a sandwich you can only buy there call the Chicken, Bacon & Onion.
3. In England you can buy a McDonald’s Bacon Roll.
It is literally just bacon and ketchup on a roll

Which, again, is literally just a pie stuffed with bacon and potatoes.

9. You would need to walk for 9 miles to burn off the calories of a Double Whopper with cheese
10. Chinese Burger King’s started carrying a Black Truffle Angus XT

The bucket’s original design
20. Chinese KFCs sell a porridge of rice with pork, egg, pickles and mushrooms called “Congee”
