Essay title: Random Comparison
It has been a major task trying to find something to compare and contrast... a
major task. But after just sitting and having a simple hamburger - the answer couldn't
have been any more clear. Two major, still growing, fast-food chains... Burger King and
McDonalds.' The questions have been asked, and many people agree and disagree on
which is the better of the two - and I plan to point out the matters. While Burger King and
McDonalds' do share similarities in menu choices, they also have differences in menu
items and price ranges.
Burger King and McDonald's are both simply put - fast food burger joints. They
both carry an arguementive same genre of items. They both have their 'Hey, look at me'
commercialized burger (BK with the Whopper, and MD with the Big Mac). As the years
progressed, each business has released several items at the time may have been exclusive
- but the latter always progressed with something to compete with it... such as chicken
nuggets, chicken sandwhiches, and such.
But then again, there are always them differences. McDonalds' has always offered
more of a plain selection.. hamburgers, fries, etc. Burger King, in some opinions, has
offered more of a "dinner" selection if you will. Ranging from bigger chicken
sandwhiches, and even use of a "grilled" look to them (which may be appealing to more
people in the long run). Eventually, yes, we reach back to our similarities - as in recent
times McDonalds' has released more of a so-called variety. They have released more
chicken sandwhiches, and released the 'premium salads.' But still the difference lays back
in the time of day category. McDonalds' menu and sandwhiches still seem more appealing
to a luncheon crowd - and BK with that dinner rush.
