One in every eight American workers have been employed by McDonald’s

It is estimated that McDonald’s employs about 700,000 U.S. workers at any given time, with a 150-percent turnover rate. That means in any given year, McDonald’s hires a million Americans.

McDonald’s is the world’s largest distributor of both Coca-Cola and toys

Thanks to its tens of thousands of restaurants and relentless brand loyalty, McDonald’s is currently the single largest supplier of Coca-Cola products in the world. Many customers argue that McDonald’s is also the best supplier, as their Coke actually tastes better because it’s shipped in stainless steel containers (as opposed to bags) and is consumed through extra-wide straws. In other staggering figures, 20 percent of McDonald’s orders are Happy Meals, meaning they distribute about 1.5 billion toys annually (enough to give one to every child in the world) and are the largest toy manufacturer in existence...even bigger than Wal-Mart!

Subway has 45,000, and has been the leader since 2011. However, McDonald’s still does much more business and is worth a staggering $40.3 billion, compared to Subway’s $7.1 billion.
