Plus appealing to a different demographic - take a good look the next time you’re a McDonald’s formally known as “Mickey D’s”
Remember it is a limited menu. Somethings require different pieces

Why can’t I get a Quarter-Pounder before 10:30 ?
Market research is very interested on how they are doing in the breakfast dept. We’ve gone twice since they started to let them know how they are doing.
