Everybody knows that MacDonald is not the best taste place for hamburger but still people loves to go there.Their business still running and people are still buying hamburger from this place.I just don't understand why do people still wants to go there since there are many other option in the city.Wendy,Burger King, and some other local Brand hamburger restaurant,they are much better than MacDonald.Will it be the price for the other places are little more experience than the Mac's or will there be some other reasons as well.Share with me.

One of the reason why people still go and will always going to McDonald is 'BRAND'.The brand awareness and royalty of McDonald is rock solid and has been there for as long as anybody can remember. You will be surprise at how little the taste of the food means, as long as the brand and marketing side of the product is strong.

your idea is much closer to me. Brand "McDonald" is like a kind of disease, like "flu", infecting in the world, and not cure. But there is anohter answer that McDonald provides cheaper food and good service. you konw rich people in the world is just a little group. Most people stand at the media level or lower level. Maybe, McDonald is not best option, but moderate.

I think spider1112 has really made a point in here.Not everyone in the world is rich and large percentages of population are from low level or mid-class. They can afford Macdonald all the times but not those expense restaurant or hamburger all the times. To be common is very important in fast food restaurant.People cometimes go there just because the price is cheap and it is a place to chat and a place that may mkae the children feel happy. In our city, it si a lunch place for all the high school students. They just love to go there for their cheap and quick lunch. They also love to go there because they can meet with their friends in there and sometimes do some homework after school in a place like this.I think most of the people knows that macdonald hamburger is not the best but their price is.Since it is so convience that you can always find one nearby your home, your office or school,so people just don't want to waste their time to find a place to eat and chat anymore.I only enjoy going to the macdonald nearby for a nice hot chocolate when the place is being so quiet during the winter time. I can walk a few minutes and enjoy my hot Chocolate in a Macdonald where there won't be too much people during the night. I think it is a place to reduce my strees from work or jsut when I wanta quiet place for me during a certain period of time. Other than that, Macdonald won't be my choice.

There are probably as many reasons for people liking to eat McDonalds burgers as there are people that eat them. I happen to like their fries when they just come out of the fryer better than any of the other fast food places. None of those fast food place are in the least healthy to eat at on a regular basis.

I don't know why other people go to McDonalds, but I go because I love their fish sandwiches and apple pies (when they're fresh.) Of the places you named, I like Wendy's hamburgers first, then McDonalds. I like Wendy's Fries first, then McDonalds. I like McDonald's fish first, then Burger King. I like McDonald's "where's the beef!!!
hamburgers because they taste better than Burger King's and they are cheaper. When I don't have much money, McDonald's is the place to go. Plus, I like McDonald's breakfast meal.

I sometimes crave for McDonald hamburger I have no idea why. I don't eat at McDonald's that often because I am health conscious but for some reason I just can't resist their burger. There's something about the taste of the burger that is addictive. Maybe McDonalds have a very special ingredient that makes people who eats it eat more burgers. hahaha. Another reason why I choose McDonalds over any other fast food is that it is the closest one in our house.

Hi,
The main reason why I still choose MacDonald is because it is located just two minutes drive from my house. The nearest other burger parlor is a half an hour drive so that's why I am still hooked to MacDonald.
Additionally I think MacDonald has many outlets compared to other burger franchising and that's one of the reasons a lot of people still go there.

Hello friend.
I agree with you that McDonald's hamburgers are far from the best, but at least in my country, they are pretty cheap, and few other competitors have the price so low at this product.
I have a McDonald's right next to home, and the only rival in this area, is a SpringTime shop located in the hypermarket just 1 minute away from it, but i think people are just more used to this one.
The best french fried from what i tried from fast food restaurants was at McDonald's so this may be another reason why people get the burgers there (getting a menu for instance).

Usually, there is a MacDonald's around practically every corner in big cities, so that's the first fast food restaurant a lot of people are introduced to. Once they have gone there, they feel more comfortable eating at a place they have experience with rather than trying something new, not to mention yes the prices are low. It's more about convenience and being comfortable than it is about health.

I personally won't eat a hamburger that comes from McDonald's because I think that they taste disgusting. However, I think that the reason that a lot of the people that I know eat there is because of the fact that their food is very inexpensive. In addition to that, I know that the McDonald's around here are very appealing to children because they have Happy Meals and they also have equipment that children can play on in their restaurants, that is one of the reasons that my children always want to go there.

You have posed a very good question. I pretty much wrote them off my list, but I do have to go get a Big Mac every once in a while. I would say this is only 3-4 times a year now.
My guess is that it is for convenience. Also kids love the place. They have playgrounds and those happy meals are addictive. I always tried to stay clear of that place even when my kids were small. We used McDonalds as a treat, but never a routine.
This is a good topic. Off to read replies!!

I am one person on earth that has never and will never have a McDonald's hamburger. I don't understand how people still go to this restaurant for their food. When I do have a hamburger at a fast food restaurant (which is rare these days) I would go to Wendy's and only Wendy's. People don't seem to understand that McDonald food is just going to make you gain weight and be sick especially if you make a habit of eating this every week. I don't understand it. I have gotten to the point I just love making fresh turkey burgers mixed with salsa. They are healthy and so much more delicious.

I guess some people just really fancy it... but I would guess that maybe it is more of a convienance more than anything else... especially as you don't even need to get out the car! I must admit, I don't go there very often, but when I do, it is mainly for a drink... I love their hot chocolate, and if it is really hot and I have been shopping, I do go in there to grab a cold drink, just because it is so quick and easy.
