#3 - McDonald's
I can hear your scoffs, you judgmental health food types, all the way across the Pacific as you have just read the title of this post. I am not going to apologize for it. I am not going to try to justify it to you Trader Joe's shopping, organic produce buying, Super Size Me quoting folks with culinary superiority complexes. The fact is simple - I love McDonald's! There, I said it. I know this is an unpopular thing for a healthy, fit, slender 33 year old male. I feel like it is on par with claiming my love for Justin Beiber, Wall Street, crack cocaine, Darth Vader, high gas mileage vehicles, and Iran - it is not the "cool" or healthy thing to do. You are trying to make me feel like I am rooting for the bad guy. Well here I am, saying it loud and saying it proud...I love McDonald's!
I love that I could go to lunch 4 days in a row and get a different sandwich. I love their breakfast. I love that McDonald's is cheaper in China than in America. I love that we have a McDonald's only 400 yards from our house. I love that the golden arches emit a welcoming glow 24 hours a day. In a land where people are trading their tea for coffee more and more every day, I love the new McCafe, which not only brews up good coffee 24 hours, but also will prepare a mocha, latte, or cappuccino to brighten my spirits as well.
My wife doesn't like Chinese food. This is not that big of an issue except for the fact that WE LIVE IN CHINA! This has forced my wife to become a fantastic starting-from-scratch cook. It has also increased our appreciation and thankfulness for McDonald's. When we feel like we just can't eat any more gongbao jiding, there is always the option of a Big Mac and fries (I am getting hungry just thinking about those golden fried potatoes).
A friend of mine who own stock in McDonald's was telling us recently that their stock has done incredibly well over the last 2 years. We just smiled and told her, "you're welcome."
