Personally,I like KFC more than Mcdonald's although I dont eat it often.And in my country,most people perfer KFC because its more localized.But as far as I konw,its the other way around in the west.What do you think?Is Mcdonald's more popular in your country?

In 1976 we opened our first KFC here on island, then in 1992 we opened out first ever McDonalds. In fact, I worked at McDonalds for over a year.
In my opinon I would have to say that here in Saipan KFC was more popular than McDonalds at one point that was because we prefer rice as our meals than hamburgers and fries. But know McDonalds has been more popular than ever here. They have incorporated rice bowl meals into their menu.

I actually enjoyed working at McDonalds. The salary was better than I expected and yes, I got to eat free food. The biggest rule was, every seven minutes that passed we had to remove the burgers and sandwiches from the pan/tray. What they removed we got to keep! But then of course, that seldom happened because we used product control. But Mt experience was great and if I had the opportunity, I would work there again!

Yes,I am really jealous cause KFC and Mcdonalds still dont serve rice here until now.And when I visited Thailand in 2003,I tried spicy rice once in KFC.It was impressive,so I thought they should be more localized here in China.Besides,i am quite interested in your work in Mcdonalds,is it interesting or boring?And did you learn sth useful there?Do you eat hamburgers as free dinner?

here in my country Mcdonalds is more popular than KFC. Rumors is spreading that KFC uses genetically induced chicken but they are not really chicken. Mcdonalds has more varieties which I like better and I'm fed up eating KFC products because whenever I eat outside my dorm KFC is the nearest store.

I believe it is not rumor but truth.Thats why I avoid eat chicken in fast food restaurant as possible as I can.They do harm to our health.

I prefer McDonald's more cause they have variety of burger to choose and nowadays, there's a lot of McDonald's has extend their operation to 24 hours. Make it easier to go to McDonald's. But if I want to have fried chicken I will go to KFC cause it taste much better than McDonald's.

Yes,I agree with you and I think it is a good place to chat with your close friends if its not so crowded.Besides I see a lot of young people review their lessons in fast food restaurants especially in summer or winter.Maybe becuase they are usually clean,spacious and provide free air conditioner:-)

Its seem that KFC is more being patronised here, but according to Financial report by both fastfood joints showed that McDonalds earned more. Personally, I dont really eat the food there, but if no other choice, I prefer McDonalds for their fries.

Same here, I like KFC better than Mcdonals, alhtough I don't eat at it as often, if ever. Well, I don't go to Mcdonalds very often either...I prefer other restaurants, like...Chipotle, Noodles, Panara Bread, etc.

Thats good.You have a good habit of diet.I would eat fast food unless I have no other choice.I remember an academy award documentary 'supersize me' and it is shocking,so I decide to eat it as less as I can.

Mcdonald is famous here in the Philippines. What I like in KFC is their chicken.
