[edit] i believe there are some mistakes here...

i wouldn't attempt to edit this article myself, but there are things in here that i don't think are correct. for example the article states that the book called "The Complete Hamburger" is out of print and being reprinted as the book called "Ronald Mcdonald's International Burger Book" and yet here they BOTH are available for purchase on Ronald Mcdonald's website: [1]

the article also states that the first mcdonald's brothers restaurant was opened in 1940 but on Ronald Mcdonald's website there is a picture described as being the first mcdonald's opened by the brothers in 1948 before they were using the arches, here: [2]

i hope that someone will be able to check into this and correct any mistakes.

While this article needs work, this particular detail is not a mistake; the brothers started their (barbecue) restaurant in 1940, but converted it into the streamlined fast-food hamburger format (that McD's is still based on today) in 1948.

[edit] Almonds?

I removed the "McDonald's put almonds in the beef" story, because on the face of it it is rather hard to believe. If it's true, please cite a source and add more details (where, when). Robaato 11:24, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

"During the writing of the book, Dick and Mac requested use of archive photos from the McDonald's Corporation. " That's supposed to have been in 1998. According to the article. But Mac had been dead for 27 years already. Ronald instead? Most likely, but neither would I attempt to change anything in this confusing article.
