McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants,

serving nearly 47 million customers daily through more than 31,000 restaurants

in 119 countries worldwide. McDonald's sells various fast food items and soft

drinks including, burgers, chicken, salads, fries, and ice cream. Many

McDonald's restaurants have included a playground for children and advertising
