McDonald's original restaurant in San Bernardino, California served only hamburgers, milkshakes, and french fries. While still based on hamburgers, today's menu includes numerous other items that have been added through the years. Below are listed both the basic items sold in the company's home market, and local variations in the nearly 100 countries where McDonald's does business.

Good lord! This had to be the most greasy, heart stopping hamburger in the world. This guy makes a patty out of bacon, stuffs it with cheese, beer batters it, and finally fries up that bad boy. Mmmmmm, grease.

This is a wonderfully amazing idea. Fried meat, cheese, sauce, and bread are good on their own, but together they form like Voltron in your mouth. This is amazing.

The title says it all...

The U.S. beer business, battered by a shift in consumer tastes, faces a further shake-up with plans by SABMiller PLC and Molson Coors Brewing Co. to merge their U.S. operations.

The Red Lion of Soho was an absolutely terrible pub. The beer was generic and flavourless, the atmosphere was non-existent (battered oak fittings and tobacco stained walls) and the bar staff were surly. Nonetheless, within the walls Marx, Engels and The Communist League wrote The Communist Manifesto... It's a pity to see it converted into flats.
