Icelanders Make Run on McDonald's as Firm Leaves

Panic set in in Iceland this weekend. It was a run, but not a run on a bank. It was a run on McDonald's. McDonald's is leaving Iceland, as they announced earlier .

[licka sense]

I wasn't aware Mickey D's held all the caloric intake for America...thanks for the information, smack.

This must be their version of Cap & Trade.

There will be a lot of less people up there with bellyaches

Hey, get screwed!! I love McDonalds once in a while. And nobody is pushing you fat folks into their doors. And you horrible looking fat people should just stop eating so much. And you take up too much space in our public transportation facilities anyway.

I guess they really do want fries with that.

Can't any Icelander industry supply McDonald's or do they not want them finding out what the recipe is for the special sauce?

They're sick of eating whale blubber all the time.
If Mc. Dnlds would charge more to make it worth while, they seem to have a good market for the food there. Or maybe if the residents of Iceland could somehow make greenhouses to help offset the cost of importing. Maybe time for them to step it up if they want to eat fastfood.

you weren't aware,eh?
do you go outside?have you seen your peoples asses?

[Holding The Bag]

They need Mickey D's really since people who live in cold climates burn far more calories than those who live in hot climates.

Soon they will all close. People are getting wise, Thanks to "Super Size Me."

Makes me wonder about the quality and quantity of eating establishments in Iceland, considering that they're mobbing Mickey D's.

I thought they raise a lot of beef in Iceland. Other than beef, mustard, ketchup, and pickles, what else is on a McHamburger?

[YouHelpFixIt]

Three stores, all this fuss over three McDonalds?

The real story is that Icelands economy is in big trouble.

"Iceland's economy will contract 9.1 percent in 2009 as household spending falls 19.7 percent and investment slumps 48.4 percent"

How is a big debt, big deficit, weak currency, and universal healthcare working for them?

Maybe I'll come up & start an Everclear-Jello shots restaraunt in the empty McDonalds buildings.
