How many hamburgers has McDonald’s sold? How come they don’t put the number on their sign anymore?

Question

And do Big Macs count as two?

Answer 1

Because there are so many restaurants now, it's probably too much to keep tally of the figures. They stopped keeping count back in 1994. The last actual estimate was about 5 billion but their methodology was unclear. I believe they count the actual number of burger sandwiches -- so a hamburger and a Big Mac would count equally. On the signs, they often still say "Over One Billion Served" and others sometimes say Billions and Billions Served.

Answer 2

Yeah my sign stopped at 99 billion too and it bothers me to no end. I'll bet I've eaten a whole cow there and I want my cow counted. I think we all ought to protest and get the count restarted..

Answer 3

They dont put the numbers up because its bigger than the sign and i would include big macs as two...lol

Answer 4

Maybe instead of how many hamburgers they sold, they should put how many kids have become obese instead....something to think about (hey, I eat there too, just not on a daily basis as alot of kids/teens are doing)

Answer 5

"hamburgers', probably about 3 that were made with real meat. As for the number of 'meat products" they have sold, it's more like 100,000,000,000.00 give or take.

Answer 6

because the number is so high they can't keep an accurate count without being suied for false advertising.

Answer 7

There is no number that high; they have surpassed how far we have the ability to count.

Answer 8

Because people are so uptight now. Burger King is making me fat...no, they are not, they never asked you to come over, that is your choice.

Answer 9

I don't know, but could you imagine being the poor bastard that has to count them?

Answer 10

wow im not sure they probaly lost count
