Has McDonald's served its trillionth burger yet? | Top Quora Answers


We don't know.
McDonald's doesn't know.
They stopped counting the number of burgers they sold 25 years ago.
In 1994, the count was 99+ billion. That was the last count the world has ever heard from the company.
One random dude on the internet estimated that in 2010, the count was 247 billion.
Based on reliable intel? Who the hell knows?
The story was picked up by the Wall Street Journal in 2013, which caused them to extrapolate that the estimate was 300 billion that year.
Really? WSJ extrapolating numbers from some random dude on the internet? I thought you guys were pros. Shame on you!
Of course, all of this is mere speculation so I guess you can believe whatever you wish to believe (or do your own extrapolation).
