Advantages: Nice taste, you know what to expect

Disadvantages: Unhealthy, more expensive than the chippy

McDonald's is tried and tested. You know what you are going to get, it's all in the production line and you can guarantee what your purchase will taste like. This is surely what makes McDonald's so successful - the food tastes good enough and is quick and easy.

Of course, McD's is no healthy option - even if you were trying to be as healthy as possible then you probably wouldn't consider McD's healthy range as one of your main choices for dietary requirements!

Secondly, the prices are ok - certainly better than Burger King, although when you compare them to the price of your local chip shop then McD's seems like Harrod's in price, rather than quality. McD's chips, or fries as they are known are usually covered in salt which makes you want to get a decent sized beverage and they are nice enough, but not a patch on regular, proper chips. If you had a straight choice out of chip shop and McD's then McD's suddenly seems more expensive and less of an attractive option. However, the McD's image, taste and knowledge of what you are gonna get means it's here to stay!

Summary: Established, leading company with unhealthy but tasty food
