If We are Like Rats, Then McDonald’s is The Cheese

We are not furry but I think we can be compared to rats because we are always in a hurry.  We are in this maze called life except we are not searching for the cheese. We are searching for the next cheese. The next cheese can be the next big thing.  The last cheese could have been the DVD player for some but after that the i-pod. These two cheeses came at two different times but the hunger did not stop after the first cheese. The hunger continues. This is where the difference between us and the rat begins. You see, the rat has to always search for a new cheese from the same source. We have a choice. Or we think we do. What if you can get cheese from 20 different mazes but one maze added flavors every couple of months? What if that one maze also allowed the hunter to take shortcuts so they could get their cheese faster and with less effort? This is what McDonald’s does. Other restaurants try to achieve this but their maze is still hard and their price is still high. McDonald’s has new drinks and smoothies, so new springs for your water next to your cheese instead of the same tap water. Even the other places that have springs only have one spring while McDonald’s has many.  This fast food giant has a little bit of everything.  They have salads like subway but you can get French fries there too. They have fried chicken tenders like KFC and they have fruit smoothies and frappes like Starbucks for a McDonald’s price. I’m not saying that McDonald’s is the best restaurant in the world but if I had a choice of which maze I had to enter for food, I would choose the maze with the most variety. This way I will feel like all my hard effort will not be in vain.
