    Why are straws included in the most loved things at McDonalds? Wouldn't straws be included in Shakes? Although I guess you can eat a shake with a spoon :P Secondly, McDonalds is ubiquitous. How can they make conclusions about customer's "loyalty" when some people may not even have a chipotle, the restaurant with the lowest "loyalty", near them? anyqs

    anyqs I'm curious about the socioeconomic status of the customers and how they order off the menu. From my experience as a McDonald's employee, the lower-income bracket orders off the dollar menu, while families order value-meals and kids-meals, but that's just personal observations. I am curious to see if there is an actual relationship between the two.

    anyqs Im curious as how they can even begin to compare McDonalds and Chipotle in the first place? It would have been easier for them to just compare them to eating at a non fast food restaurant than a specific one. SOme of the people sampled might not even enjoy chipotle. Also, I dont understand why the hot sauce portion is even included in the data. It doesn't seem to correlate with the rest of the data.

    anyqs Is there a relationship between the locations of the restaurants and the population density? And does it seem like people who like to eat out a lot would want to visit both places?

    anyqs What does the radius of the cylinders in the Starbucks chart means? A comparison of revenues among fast food chains shows McDonald to lead the rest by a huge difference. Are those revenues standardized to account the number of restaurants each fast food chain has worldwide?

    anyqs Is the growth of Starbucks in multiple countries similar to what McDonald's growth was earlier? If so, how closely do the growths match, and can we expect Starbucks to eventually be as ubiquitous as McDonalds?

    anyqs The size of each bubble is confusing. The size of the ones for McDonald's and Starbuck's are very similar, but if looked at closely, are actually different. This leads to questions about the relative presence of each corporation in each region. Also the range that is covered by the McDonald's circles are greater than that of Starbuck's. I know that this visualization is just to show the relativity in size between the two companies, but the information given is hard to translate. My question is, did they make the circles similar on purpose to show the similarities between the spread of the companies, or was it just because the overall range of Starbuck's presence was smaller than McDonald's?
