So next time you’re crumpling up your receipt from a $8.79 meal, just remember: you’re not just feeding your hangover. You’re fueling a global machine that earns more in a day than you will in a decade. It’s humbling, hilarious, and honestly, kind of comforting.
McDonald’s makes roughly $25 billion to $27 billion in revenue annually. That’s a lot of Happy Meals, broken ice cream machines, and salty fries. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. Now go order a McFlurry—the machine might be working today. Probably not, but you gotta try.
