... is it because of the strong smell of 'fries' making it a
symbolic thing for McDonald's ? Honestly speaking, I will be attracted
by this smell too when I am hungry walking around in the street.

In Hong Kong, there are too many McDonald's. I think that kids,
or other people, are unable to 'escape' from the eye-catching golden
arches. Is it due to their successful promotion strategies ? ....

By the way, modern people are getting busier. They sometimes hope
to get a fast meal. Some parents see that their children like McDonald's
and at the same time dining in McDonald's is cheap, so they are willing
to bring them there... though, I also think that these parents are less
considerate about their children's health ...

...same question: why are kids love McDonald's food? I have read
books saying that greasy and salty foods are more delicious
(they are refering to snack foods ). Is it the cause of children's
favor of McDonald's?
