• «The Story of Мc Donald’s»

1937 — The Мc Donald brothers, Dick and Mark, opened a little drive-in restaurant in Pasadena, California. They served hot dogs and milkshakes.

1945 — They have 20 waiters. All the teenagers in town ate hamburgers there.

1948 — They get paper boxes and bags for the hamburgers. They put the price down from 30 to 15 cents. They cut the menu down from 25 things to only 9. There are no more waiters — it was self-service. So it was cheaper and faster. And they have windows all round the kitchen — so everyone can see it is clean. Parents start bringing their children to the restaurant. Poor families eat at a restaurant for the first time.

1960s — The McDonald's company opens hundreds of McDonald's restaurants all over the States.

1971 — They opened restaurants in Japan, Germany and Australia.

Now the McDonald's company opens a new restaurant every 8 hours. There are more than 14,000 restaurants in over 70 countries. The largest restaurant is in Beijing China and the smallest is in Tokyo.

Мc Donald’s restaurants serve almost exactly the same food in every country. But in Italy, they serve beer, in Norway the Mclak (salmon burger) and in the Netherlands the Groenteburger (vegetarian)!

Clown Ronald McDonald greets the customers at the entrance to the restaurant.

Not so long ago they began to sell Happy Meal. It contains food and a free toy.

              Remember! Fast food is very bad and unhealthy for you!
