Five Things You Never Knew About McDonald’s In Iceland
FIRST Kerry Katona’s face was offed, now McDonald’s has decided to leave Iceland to the Icelanders.
Odd that a land of pure snow and ice should be famous for being linked with the face of own-brand ketchup and being dumped by McDonald’s. But what are the facts? Let’s take a look:
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard explains:
What the company actually said was that it can no longer compete with Icelandic fast-food joints that rely on local produce…
The BBC putts it another way.
McDonald’s is to close its business in Iceland because the country’s financial crisis has made it too expensive to operate its franchise.
Sky News says, “The withdrawal of the golden arches symbolises a sharp fall from economic grace for a nation.” The Consumerist says: “Iceland is so messed up McDonald’s is giving up and going home.”
Such are the facts.
Here are 5 things you never knew about McDonald’s in Iceland:
1. In 2007, nine-year-old Einar Huld became lost in a snowstorm. She was rescued when a man standing on a car seven miles away spotted the luminous yellow cheese slice she had removed from the cheeseburger and stuck to her head.

Banana Monarchy: Britain Is Bigger Credit Risk Than McDonald’s
ONCE great, Great Britain as now revealed to be a bigger credit default risk than McDonald’s.
Ronald or Gordon? Scotland awaits the answer…
Which one’s in the clown boots?
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) — Investing in U.K. government debt is almost
twice as risky as buying bonds sold by McDonald’s Corp., based on prices
in the credit-default swap market.The CHART OF THE DAY compares the cost of protecting against a decline in the creditworthiness of the two borrowers. U.K. protection became more expensive on Sept. 29, when the pound suffered
its biggest one-day loss against the dollar in 16 years after the government took control of Bradford & Bingley Plc, Britain’s biggest lender to landlords.Britain risks being viewed pejoratively as a banana republic “apart from the technical disqualification that we have a monarch and so cannot be a Republic, and it’s too cold to grow bananas anyway,” says Sean Corrigan, who helps oversee about $8.5 billion as chief investment strategist at Diapason Commodities Management SA in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today…

A Cockatoo With Every Happy Meal
McDONALD’S is giving out a free endangered animal with every Happy Meal.
Hold on a moment, smiling animal killer, that whale is not for eating. Sure the gherkin fits neatly over it’s blow hole, and the fighting wallaby’s pouch serves as a decent pot for your curry sauce, but these animals are stuffed toys.
So, don’t worry kids. Keep eating that ground up cow and that mashed up and shaped chicken. Those animals are not endangered, nor are calves and baby chicks in the least bit cute.

Ronald McDonald Puts Paul McCartney’s Hair In A Bun
“WHAT sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles’ fans are,” asks Paul McCartney’s spokesman Geoff Baker.
The sort of morons who listen to records backwards, write their names on walls and think crossing the road is photo opportunity?
Says a PETA spokesman, the voice of dumb animals:
“He became a vegetarian after watching lambs play in field outside his home and surely would not want to use his likeness to promote meat.”
The Sun says that Macca “hit the roof” after a branch of McDonald’s in his native Liverpool put pictures of The Beatles on the walls “to attract customers”.
