I don't eat at McDonalds often, but if the amount of people really didn't eat at McDonalds that say they don't eat at McDonalds, they wouldn't be one of the most successful franchises in the world.

In other words, many who say they don't like McDonalds are hipsters who actually eat McDonalds.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it fascinates me sociologically. Kind of like the millions of people who say they don't shop Wal-Mart, but 55 percent of their household items came from there.

And surveys say only 50 percent of men watch porn on a weekly basis. Right.

Ever heard of the 80/20 rule?

I agree especially with the Wal Mart issue.

A lot of people at work swear they'll never set foot in Wal Mart because of the eeeeeevil way they treat their employees and that Wal Mart is making China rich. When I ask where they shop it's usually K-mart or Target. I look at them with an obvious "WTF?" look because most everything in K-mart and Target is precisely the same crap that can be found in Wal Mart only at slightly higher prices.

I wouldn't call McDonald's as my favorite fast food chain, but I don't deny I eat there on occasion.

Apparently admitting you shop at Wal Mart or eat at McDonald's is tantamount to admitting you're a classless twit. This must mean that 80% of Americans are liars....and classless twits.
